Practitioners can help parents of under-threes gain an understanding of their children's early development

Building on our work with the parents of nursery-aged children, we set up drop-in groups for parents and younger children (aged nought to three years). These groups are called 'Growing Together'.

We wanted to share with this group of parents the same information on key concepts (see page 19) that we had already discussed with the parents of the nursery-aged children. We wanted parents and workers to study children's development, once again using rich video material as a basis for dialogue. There was, however, a big difference in approach. Unlike the study groups for parents of nursery-aged children, parents attended the group sessions with their children.
