Purposeful Parenting: Enhanced Anticipatory Guidance for the First Year of Life

Purposeful Parenting reinforces responsive interactions that help promote emerging developmental skills. This information is presented over the course of a child's first 12 months, such that core lessons are the same but specific skills are designed to be developmentally appropriate. This repetitiveness, along with the provision of age-appropriate behavioral guidance, will allow parents to successfully engage in responsive interactions with their children.
