Research: Nurse Family Partnership Programme - First Year Pilot Site Implementation in England: Pregnancy and the post Partum period
1 Jul 2008
The research considered a range of areas and issues surrounding the programme. Communication and early language is considered in chapter 10 of the report Potential Impacts of NFP particularly when considering the mother-child relationship. According to the report, learning about baby cues, the way infants express themselves, was the second most mentioned aspect of the programme, after feeding. Understanding their children's communication was highly valued and helped parents to bond with their children.
