Developmental Parenting Home Visiting to Prevent Violence: Monitoring and Evaluating

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Home Visitation Programs

Abstract

Home-visiting programs that promote developmentally supportive parenting offer a promising means of preventing violence and aggression. A developmental parenting approach to home visiting can promote the kind of parenting that supports children’s positive early development and prevents childhood aggression. Home-visiting programs aiming to reduce aggression need to identify families at risk for violence and aggression, focus on key child and parenting outcomes to reduce this risk, and implement effective home-visiting practices to improve these outcomes. To monitor and evaluate the success of a home-visiting program, the ultimate outcomes to be tested are the developmental competence and behavior of the children, but several antecedent components should also be tested in order to examine the pathway from program to outcomes. These components, described in this chapter, include key environmental risk factors for poor development and aggressive behavior in young children, parenting behaviors that can support early development and thereby prevent aggression, and home-visiting practices that can be used to promote developmentally supportive parenting.
