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 -test, t(28)=3.792, < .001, = 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


帮助他人有益于儿童，也是社会正常运转的基础。一项新颖的培训，即培养有帮助的幼儿（RHT），重点关注先前描述的有益的原住民传统父母社会化实践。 RHT 参与者是 30 名美国幼儿父母/看护者，年龄 28-46 岁，女性/男性比例为 26/4； 73.3% 是白人，13.3% 是亚裔，6.7% 是非洲人或黑人/非裔美国人，3.3% 是亚裔和白人，3.3% 是美洲印第安人和西班牙裔，平均受教育程度较高，儿童年龄在 12 至 48 个月之间。 RHT 包括 2 小时的在线培训，随后提供每日日志和访谈，以支持培训，同时收集定性数据。高家长招募率、满意度和 RHT 策略的使用率表明了可行性。根据重复测量测试，平均育儿自我效能感在测试后有所增加，效应大小为中等到大，t(28)=3.792，< .001，= 0.58。许多家长表示测试后有所改善，包括做家务时的压力减轻，信念、行为和言语发生改变。结果表明，原住民家庭中描述的养育方式在跨文化背景下可能是有益的。关键词：原住民、育儿、家庭、干预、早期保育、早期教育、亲社会行为、道德发展。
