One of the contributing factors in the growth and development of children under five is the mother's ability to provide childcare, but young mothers do not have enough parenting skills. The goal of the current study was to examine the effect of the parenting peer education (PPE) programme on young mothers' parenting self-efficacy and behaviour, and the growth and development of children under five. There were two groups, which were a control group (without intervention) and an intervention group, in which there were 15 participants in each group. Analysis covariance with the pre-test scores as covariates was used in this study. The results showed that, compared with the control group, the intervention group reported significantly better parenting self-efficacy, parenting behaviour, children's growth, and children's development, including cognitive, language, and motoric aspects. The PPE programme can exchange the young mothers' experiences on how their children grow and develop, and the mothers will also receive psychological support. In conclusion, the PPE programme affected the young mothers' parenting self-efficacy and parenting behaviour and the children's growth and development.
五岁以下儿童成长发育的一个促成因素是母亲提供育儿服务的能力，但年轻母亲没有足够的育儿技能。本研究的目的是检验同伴育儿教育（PPE）项目对年轻母亲育儿自我效能感和行为以及五岁以下儿童成长发育的影响。研究分为两组，即对照组（无干预）和干预组，每组有15名参与者。本研究采用以预测试分数作为协变量的协方差分析。结果表明，与对照组相比，干预组在育儿自我效能感、育儿行为、儿童成长和儿童发育（包括认知、语言和运动方面）方面的表现明显更好。PPE项目可以交流年轻母亲关于孩子成长发育的经验，母亲们也会得到心理支持。总之，PPE项目影响了年轻母亲的育儿自我效能感和育儿行为以及儿童的成长发育。
