Early childhood development (ECD) is a crucial milestone that shapes a child's health, wellbeing, education, and personality. Several factors come into play, and each requires the nurturing care of caregivers. Although the importance of ECD is well understood, the implementation of ECD programs is scarce, especially in poor and vulnerable communities.
To improve parents' wellbeing, parenting stress levels, parenting behavior, and discipline strategies after the implementation of a newly designed parenting intervention.
Parents from Syria (125 mothers and fathers) in three refugee camps in Lebanon and Jordan.
This was a pilot cohort study in which parents' wellbeing, parenting stress levels, parenting behavior, and discipline strategies were evaluated before and after participating in training in the form of interactive and educational sessions to ameliorate their relations and interactions with their children.
By the end of this study, parents' mental health and wellbeing improved (p < 0.001, Cohen's d: 0.61) and their parenting index score was reduced (p < 0.001, Cohen's d: 1.24). Some of their dysfunctional interactions with their children as well as the perceived difficulties and conduct problems in their children aged 3 to 6 years were also reduced significantly.
The intervention used in this study succeeded in improving some aspects of parenting practices and disciplines and in improving the parents' wellbeing; however, more research is needed to assess its long-term effects on parents and their children. Moreover, some adjustments need to be made in the intervention to be more adapted to the context of refugees and underprivileged communities.
幼儿发展（ECD）是塑造儿童健康、幸福、教育和个性的关键里程碑。有几个因素在起作用，每个因素都需要照顾者的悉心照料。尽管人们充分理解幼儿发展的重要性，但幼儿发展项目的实施却很少，尤其是在贫困和弱势群体社区。
在实施一项新设计的育儿干预措施后，改善父母的幸福感、育儿压力水平、育儿行为和管教策略。
来自黎巴嫩和约旦三个难民营的叙利亚父母（125名母亲和父亲）。
这是一项试点队列研究，在以互动和教育课程形式参加培训之前和之后，对父母的幸福感、育儿压力水平、育儿行为和管教策略进行评估，以改善他们与孩子的关系和互动。
在本研究结束时，父母的心理健康和幸福感得到改善（p < 0.001，科恩d值：0.61），他们的育儿指数得分降低（p < 0.001，科恩d值：1.24）。他们与孩子之间一些功能失调的互动以及他们3至6岁孩子的感知困难和行为问题也显著减少。
本研究中使用的干预措施成功地改善了育儿实践和管教的某些方面，并改善了父母的幸福感；然而，需要更多研究来评估其对父母及其子女的长期影响。此外，需要对干预措施进行一些调整，以使其更适应难民和贫困社区的情况。
