How does a shared play routine fit into an ordinary day after coaching ends?
Home observations document what play looked like outside the intervention sessions. Joint activity can be examined in the context of other daily routines.
Who was studied?
Ninety-seven caregiver–child pairs observed at home after participating in JASPER, in families facing socioeconomic disadvantage.
Age / stage: Preschool years
Read with three questions
- What home activities did researchers observe directly?
- What did the researchers observe directly and what did they infer from a rating?
- How much time or support did families need to sustain their participation?
Keep the limits in view
The measured differences or patterns are observational. Family selection, reporting and other features of the setting can affect their interpretation.
