Abstract

Objective: to evaluate an educative group in the parental practices promoting child development adopted by the family members of infants. Methods: quantitative randomized clinical essay carried out in a primary care service with families of infants. The control group received usual health follow up, and the experimental group was invited to interact with the educational group.

Results: a group of 21 family members of infants participated in the study. After the intervention, parental practices in the experimental group, such as playing with domestic objects (46.1% versus 12.5% in the control group), playing with house-made toys (38.5% versus 12.5% in the control group), and telling stories with child books (38.4% versus 12.5% in the control group), increased.
