Helping other people benefits children and is fundamental to a functioning society. A novel training, Raising Helpful Toddlers (RHT), focuses on beneficial Indigenous heritage parent socialization practices previously described. RHT participants were thirty U.S. toddler parents/caregivers, aged 28–46, 26/4 female/male ratio; 73.3 % White, 13.3 % Asian, 6.7 % African or Black/African American, 3.3 % Asian and White, 3.3 % American Indian and Hispanic, and highly educated on average, with children aged 12 to 48 months. RHT consists of a 2-hour online training, followed up with daily logs and interviews to support the training while collecting qualitative data. Feasibility was indicated by high rates of parent recruitment, satisfaction, and use of RHT strategies. Average parenting self-efficacy increased at post-test, with a moderate to large effect size, according to a repeated-measures t-test, t(28)=3.792, p < .001, d = 0.58. Many parents reported improvements at post-test including less stress when doing chores and changed beliefs, actions, and speech. Results suggest that parenting practices described in Indigenous-heritage families can be beneficial across cultural contexts.

“我现在将我的蹒跚学步的孩子视为一个帮助者，而不仅仅是需要帮助的人”：培养乐于助人的幼儿培训


帮助他人对儿童有益，是社会正常运转的基础。一项新颖的培训，Raising Helpful Toddlers （RHT），侧重于前面描述的有益的土著遗产父母社会化实践。RHT 参与者是 30 名美国幼儿父母/看护人，年龄在 28-46 岁之间，男女比例为 26/4;73.3% 白人，13.3% 亚裔，6.7% 非洲人或黑人/非裔美国人，3.3% 亚裔和白人，3.3% 美洲印第安人和西班牙裔，平均受过高等教育，儿童年龄在 12 至 48 个月之间。RHT 包括 2 小时的在线培训，随后是每日日志和访谈，以支持培训，同时收集定性数据。家长招募率、满意度和 RHT 策略的高使用率表明了可行性。根据重复测量 t 检验，平均育儿自我效能感在后测时增加，具有中等到大的效应量，t（28）=3.792，p < .001，d = 0.58。许多家长报告说，考试后有所改善，包括做家务时的压力减轻，以及信念、行为和言语的改变。结果表明，土著传统家庭中描述的养育方式在不同文化背景下可能是有益的。关键词：土著、育儿、家庭、干预、早期护理、早期教育、亲社会行为、道德发展。
