how piccolo™ can help you work more effectively with parents of young children
DESCRIPTION
Identify important parenting behaviors that support child development with the new Parenting Interactions with Children: Checklist of Observations Linked to Outcomes (PICCOLO™). With this easy-to-use checklist of 29 parenting behaviors in 4 critical domains—Affection, Responsiveness, Encouragement, and Teaching— home visitors and parent educators can determine where parents’ skills are the strongest and where they need support. Join tool co-developer Lori Roggman in this free, 45-minute webinar to discover how the PICCOLO can help you provide positive feedback to parents, develop interventions to help parents build skills, and track the positive outcomes of your parent support program.TRANSCRIPT

It’s easy to learn.
It highlights parents’ skills.

What is PICCOLO like?
Brief: requires only a 10-minute observation
Specific: has 29 behavior descriptions
Practical: helps guide program planning
Reliable: observers usually agree
Valid: predicts good child outcomes

How was PICCOLO developed?
Data & video from the Early Head Start Research & Evaluation Project
New observations of over 4,500 video clips from over 2,000 families in 16 communities across the US.
29 items with best reliability and validity from over 100 items

Cultural Considerations
PICCOLO was tested in 3 ethnic groups:• European American• African American• Latino American
PICCOLO observers of multiple ethnicities rated video observations within and across ethnic groups.
PICCOLO is reliable and valid within each group.

Reliable: Independent observers rate PICCOLO items similarly
Valid:PICCOLO scores are correlated with similar measures PICCOLO scores predict children’s development

Each PICCOLO item has additional observation notes

Scoring PICCOLO is simple
1. Sum the item scores to get a domain score. 2. Sum the domain scores to get a PICCOLO
score3. Higher item and domain scores are strengths.
*See PICCOLO User’s Guide for average domain scores by age.

Families?

PICCOLO observations
10 minute observation
“Live” scoring• score PICCOLO while observing
Video scoring• record and score PICCOLO later• recommended for discussion

When you use PICCOLO with parents be. . .
Positive: Emphasize what parents do well and often
Practical: Ask when parents can do more of these behaviors as part of their regular activities
