The Period of PURPLE Crying Program is an educational program delivered to parents of newborn children that aims to reduce the incidence of abusive head trauma/shaken baby syndrome1. The program was developed by a research-based, non-profit organisation and has already been implemented in many countries around the world. It educates parents on what to expect during the first few months of their newborn infant's life, allowing parents to become more informed and better prepared to care for their child. The recent surge in the number of cases of abusive head trauma in children during the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for greater resources being made available to parents. The Period of PURPLE Crying Program is one such resource that could be implemented in Ireland.
“哭泣期（PURPLE Crying）”项目是一个针对新生儿父母的教育项目，旨在降低虐待性头部创伤/摇晃婴儿综合征的发生率。该项目由一个基于研究的非营利组织开发，已经在世界许多国家实施。它向父母传授新生儿头几个月的育儿知识，让父母更加了解并为照顾孩子做好更充分的准备。在新冠疫情期间，儿童虐待性头部创伤的案例数量最近有所增加，这凸显了向父母提供更多资源的必要性。“哭泣期（PURPLE Crying）”项目就是爱尔兰可以实施的资源之一。
