摘要

Background

Equipping parents with play skills can foster child development. This study examined the effects of Power of Play Parent Intervention, a short, online, asynchronous, play skill enhancement program, on the frequency of total parent-child play, parents’ attitude towards play, and children’s screen time in Thailand.

Methods

From September to December 2023, 112 parents of children aged 12–36 months from social media platforms were block-randomized into two-arm, parallel groups (56 intervention and 56 waitlist control). The intervention group received a 2-to-3-min, weekly video clip for 6 weeks. Parent outcomes were measured at baseline, 6 and 10 weeks after starting the intervention.

Results

At 10 weeks, compared to control, the intervention group reported increased total parent-child play frequency (Cohen’s d = 0.38, 95% Confidence interval (CI) 0.01–0.76), frequency of active physical play (standardized mean difference (SMD) 0.73 ± 1.79, p = 0.003), gentle physical play (SMD 0.643 ± 1.257, p < 0.001) and play with books (SMD 0.375 ± 0.926, p = 0.004), but not attitude and children’s screen time.

Conclusions

Succinct, online parent play skill enhancement program may be considered as a resource to promote play in time-constrained parents which still remained effective up to one month after intervention.

Impact

Online play skill enhancement program utilizing modeling strategy, coupled with positive parent-child interaction promotion, effectively increased frequency and types of parent-child play.

Practical play intervention can help raise parents’ awareness on the different types of play and enhance the application of infrequently-used play techniques such as noisy play.

This study highlights the value of prompting and educating parents about play through modeling in everyday pediatric practice.
