This home visiting program uses Promoting First Relationships, an evidence - based curriculum shown in rigorous clinical trials to significantly improve observed
parental sensitivity, improve parent knowledge of child social and
emotional needs, improve child behavior and child stress physiology, and improve child welfare outcomes.
Parental sensitivity to an infant's signals and cues at two months has been shown to be associated with secure attachment status at nine months (De Wolff 1997); and low
sensitivity shown to be associated with compromised cognitive and
emotional development (Murray 1992), and behavioural and physiological difficulties (Gianino 1988; Tronick 2007; Degnan 2008).
Research suggests that early targeted interventions aimed at increasing
parental sensitivity and promoting attachment may be effective in promoting healthy child development (see, for example, Lieberman 1999; Schore 2001; Van Ijzendoorn 1995), and in preventing
