This paper experimentally evaluates a large-scale and low-cost parenting program targeting poor families in Chile. Households in 162 public health centers were randomly assigned to three groups: a control group, a second group that was offered eight weekly group parenting sessions, and a third group that was offered the same eight group sessions plus two sessions of guided interactions between parents and children focused on responsive play and dialogic reading. Three years after the end of the intervention, the receptive vocabulary and the socio-emotional development of children of families participating in either of the treatment arms improved (by 0.43 and 0.54 standard deviation, respectively) relative to children of nonparticipating families. There were no statistically detectable impacts on other types of skills. The treatments also led to improvements in home environments and parenting behaviors of comparable magnitudes, which far outlasted the short duration of the intervention. A simple mediation analysis suggests that up to 13 percent of treatment impacts on language, and up to 36 percent of impacts on child socio-emotional development, can be attributed to changes in the home environment, as well as in nurturing and discipline parenting behaviors.

Nombre de pratiques éducatives concernant les tout petits se veulent centrées sur l'enfant. Encore faut-il savoir de quel enfant il s'agit : l'enfant décrit par la psychologie du développement ? Celui que l'adulte croit connaître ? L'enfant idéal fantasmé par chacun ? L'enfant le plus vif et le plus éveillé du groupe ? L'enfant « normal » ? Notre vécu, nos connaissances et nos expériences ont créé en nous un concept « enfant » qui souvent masque l'enfant réel qui est face à nous.L'approche piklérienne est centrée sur chacun des enfants considérés comme uniques, connus et reconnus dans le cadre collectif de leur lieu d'accueil. L'un de ses outils indispensables consiste à savoir les observer.Tout l'enjeu de ce livre est de transmettre cette démarche volontaire, construite et permanente d'observation de chaque enfant. Les auteurs qui ont collaboré avec Emmi Pikler, à la pouponnière de la rue Lóczy à Budapest en tant que soignante, pédagogue, pédiatre ou psychologue, précisent le rôle de l'observation en institution, ses aspects méthodologiques et sa place dans les recherches réalisées à l'Institut Pikler.
