Family Engagement that Sticks: Getting Parents to Participate in Sessions

Family Engagement that Sticks: Getting Parents to Participate in Sessions Family Engagement that Sticks: Getting Parents to Participate in Sessions gives EI providers a concrete, repeatable approach to bring caregivers into the work—before, during, and after each visit. You’ll use a brief co-created agenda, clear roles (“I’ll model, you try, I’ll coach”), and ask–tell–ask coaching cycles with micro-practice to turn observation into hands-on participation. We’ll cover culturally responsive rapport moves, handling common barriers (time, stress, competing demands), and simple action plans that fit real routines. Finish with low-burden carryover tools (1-line goals, two-minute practice targets, photo/video check-ins) so families leave confident and able to keep progress going between sessions.
