Abstract
What teaches parents to be responsive? The results of a "network" meta-analysis Responsiveness is the dimension of parenting most strongly associated with positive developmental outcomes in children. In this study, with the methodology of network meta-analysis, the optimal combination of teaching methods for adults about responsive care for children aged 0-6 was investigated in order to determine how to develop effective training programs in the general population to improve the responsive skills of caregivers. 119 studies (12.376 participants) were collected. 71% of parents who receive these interventions improve their responsiveness. The authors conclude that programs aimed at the general population can be low-cost, short (less than a year), carried out in groups, for target parents of 1-6 years old children. These programs can also be focused on responsive care, can use observation of responsive caregiving models and the assignment of homework. Individual video feedback, home visiting and work-intensive programs, should be reserved for particular groups of parents, not included in this study, such as parents with psychiatric problems.
