In my current social work field placement as a Family Advocate in an early childhood center, I am searching for resources that will help parents engage and interact with their children more effectively. In this video, "Parenting for Brain Development and Prosperity", Dr. Paul Fisher, Professor of Psychology at the University of Oregon, emphasizes ways in which caregivers and their children can experience "positive, reciprocal interactions" in their homes. The child's early development, 0-3 yrs. is foundational to what follows in the school settings. Parents are open to professionals who come along side of them to offer support.

As a social worker, what effective referrals and resources have you offered to parents, families who have infants, preschoolers? As Social Workers, how can we improve the level of support to these parents?
