Monday, April 3, 2023, 12:00 AM - Wednesday, December 31, 2025, 11:59 PM, Online


A four-hour, self-directed curriculum that demonstrates how to promote early childhood development and help strengthen parent-child relationships within well-child visits. The curriculum focuses on six developmental keystones that are well-supported by research, largely dependent on caregiver behaviors, and are strongly predictive of later social-emotional and cognitive well-being. It weaves anticipatory guidance into well-child visits utilizing an often untapped opportunity to promote learning and build secure parent-child relationships.

1. Define the 6 developmental keystones for promotion of early childhood development and strengthening of parent-child relationships.
2. Explain specific activities that promote these keystones during the well-child visits.
3. Help parents gain skills to support their child's development
4. Address common parenting questions and give appropriate and effective anticipatory guidance throughout the well-child visit.
