Course Description: Promoting First Relationships (PFR). PFR is a prevention program developed and field tested at the University of Washington. It is designed to promote children's social-emotional development through responsive, nurturing caregiver-child relationships. The PFR curriculum is a positive, strengths based, reflective approach. PFR Goals:
The program is based on videotape coaching strategies. It includes videotaping the care giving interactions in the home. This allows parents to observe and reflect on their interactions with their children. The nurse offers positive and instructive feedback during caregiver-child interactions that builds care giving competence, and focuses on the deeper emotional feelings and needs of both parents and young children. Four types of consultation strategies are keystones within the PFR curriculum. They include:
Target Audience: Public Health Nurses working in Babies First! and Child Care Health Consultants
Prerequisites: No required prerequisites, However we ask participants to consider their access to a video camera prior to attending the class as video taping is a significant component of this curriculum.

NCAST Parent-Child Interaction (PCI) Scales This is a seven-day course, which consists of two three-day sessions, followed by a single day follow-up session. NCAST PCI Scales is the core training for the NCAST Feeding and Teaching Scales. The Feeding Scale is used to observe communication and interaction behaviors during the feeding situation in the first 12 months of the child's life. The Teaching Scale is used to observe interactions that define the parent-child dyad's strengths and areas of growth, up to 36 months of age. NCAST certification is obtained upon successful completion of the course and demonstration of reliability in using the scales. These are typically taught in two separate 3-day sessions. The sessions are separated by several weeks. A one-day follow-up session completes the series. The final day is critical, as it is spent training nurses how to plan interventions to improve parent-child interaction. Target Audience: Public health nurses working with parents and young children from birth to 3 years of age Prerequisites: It is recommended that public health nurses who are interested in learning the NCAST Feeding and Teaching Scales should attend Clues to Cues as an introduction to the NCAST concepts before attending NCAST Parent-Child Interaction Scales.
