Parents’ Comments
• Very positive feelings. It helped to make sure my kid was growing along with the rest of them.
• It was good; very informative. It was my first child and so everything was new—and it was nice to know the information.
![Page 10: Parental Engagement: Grow Along with Me](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051316/56815a9d550346895dc821f9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Findings: How did parents feel about completing the ASQ?
• 17.46% (11/63) voiced that the ASQ experience was negative.– ASQ administrators
did not listen to them.– Difficult to answer the
questions; having the questions in advance would have helped.
![Page 11: Parental Engagement: Grow Along with Me](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051316/56815a9d550346895dc821f9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
ASQ Negative Experiences Continued

– Burden was associated with the completion of the ASQ
![Page 12: Parental Engagement: Grow Along with Me](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051316/56815a9d550346895dc821f9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Parents’ Comments
• Previously, we used to fill it out at home. I thought that was a lot better, because some of the questions require experimenting with your child—like drawing lines on a page to see if they can copy you or stacking blocks. They [questions] should be rewritten if they don’t want to send it out anymore, so it’s more applicable to fill it out five-minutes beforehand.
![Page 13: Parental Engagement: Grow Along with Me](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051316/56815a9d550346895dc821f9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Parents’ Perspectives
• For one parent, there was a real burden with completing the ASQ. This included managing other children (without assistance); trying to focus on the child’s immunization, while concurrently completing the ASQ. This parent also suggested that an on-line version of the ASQ would ease this burden as well as provide think time to answer the questions.
![Page 14: Parental Engagement: Grow Along with Me](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051316/56815a9d550346895dc821f9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Findings: Other concerns regarding the ASQ
• Setting in which the ASQ was completed– Chaotic setting– ASQ was rushed
• Have more time for the appointment.
• Very busy; didn’t have enough time to answer the questions.
• A bit rushed, but the questions were easy and the pictures were helpful.
![Page 15: Parental Engagement: Grow Along with Me](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051316/56815a9d550346895dc821f9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Other Concerns Continued
• Learning the “outcome” of the ASQ– Some parents were
unsure of the outcome of the ASQ check-up
• As far as the process goes, it was good to see that my son is becoming stronger in certain areas. In regards to the outcome, we still haven’t really had any answers. So, I’m still confused.
![Page 16: Parental Engagement: Grow Along with Me](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051316/56815a9d550346895dc821f9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Findings: Did parents learn anything new about their child’s development?
• 74.6% (47/63) noted that the ASQ helped them to learn more about their children’s development.
![Page 17: Parental Engagement: Grow Along with Me](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051316/56815a9d550346895dc821f9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What did parents learn?
• Developmental milestones or benchmarks.
• Child’s abilities to complete certain activities or tasks.
![Page 18: Parental Engagement: Grow Along with Me](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051316/56815a9d550346895dc821f9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Findings: Activities supporting child development at home
• 80.95% (51/63) stated that the ASQ check-up and the information offered to them at the time of the check-up, gave them ideas, suggestions, and activities to further support their children’s development at home.
![Page 19: Parental Engagement: Grow Along with Me](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051316/56815a9d550346895dc821f9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Resources offered to Parents
• Pamphlets• Information sheets
– They gave us a little booklet that offered me tons of ideas from thinks like playing outside to recipes to make our own play-dough.
– There was a page of guidelines of things to do—which I kept!
![Page 20: Parental Engagement: Grow Along with Me](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051316/56815a9d550346895dc821f9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Activities?
• Language and communication development– It helped me to learn
how to teach her to pronounce words, and how to speak sooner.
– I learned different speech games to encourage my son to talk. We now practice those together.
![Page 21: Parental Engagement: Grow Along with Me](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051316/56815a9d550346895dc821f9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Activities?
• Motor and fine skill development– Absolutely! One
example of a developmental check I learned was pouring sand from bucket to bucket. It changes the way we play now—it moves the focus onto developmental growth.
![Page 22: Parental Engagement: Grow Along with Me](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051316/56815a9d550346895dc821f9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Activities?
• Development of comprehension and listening skills.– Yes, I learned
activities to help her listening skills, like left-right directing.
![Page 23: Parental Engagement: Grow Along with Me](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051316/56815a9d550346895dc821f9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Findings: Advice to other parents?
• Parents were overwhelmingly positive in encouraging other parents to have their children undergo a child developmental check-up.
![Page 24: Parental Engagement: Grow Along with Me](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051316/56815a9d550346895dc821f9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Advice to other parents?
• No parent should be hesitant. All children develop naturally at different paces. It’s nice to know the spectrum and where your child falls on it. For example, I know that my son is slightly behind in communication, but is ahead in his motor coordination skills.
![Page 25: Parental Engagement: Grow Along with Me](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051316/56815a9d550346895dc821f9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Advice to other parents?
• Parents felt empowered that they could “do something” to support their children’s growth and development.
![Page 26: Parental Engagement: Grow Along with Me](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051316/56815a9d550346895dc821f9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Empowering Parents
• It didn’t tell you what you were doing or not doing; it just helped you find ways to augment your child’s development.
• It’s a nice way for you to learn activities to do with your child and together. It gives you ideas and tools to assist with their development.
