Experimental: Intervention
play sessions included as a part of normal early childhood education; parents' evening for all parents; parents' group for the parents of children that have difficulties in self-regulation and that are offered more individualized small group activity
|
Early childhood education workers play games with children during day care.
The games (e.g.
ball games, puzzles, Simon says) target children's executive functions and self-regulatory skills, e.g.
inhibition, attention, and emotion regulation.
The first phase of the intervention (6 weeks) includes play sessions (15 minutes each day) for all children as well as a parents' evening to encourage playing at home.
In the second phase (8 weeks), more individualized small group play sessions (3 times a week, 30 minutes at once) are arranged for the children that show difficulties in self-regulation after the first phase.
Also, a parents' group including 6 group sessions and 2 phone calls is arranged for their parents in this phase.
The participating parents are asked to play the games for 20 minutes each day with their children.
During the group meetings, the parents share their experiences of playing at home and receive support and guidance from 2 health care professionals.
