VIRTUAL | PIWI Training of Facilitators (Day 1)
Parents Interacting With Infants (PIWI) is an evidenced-based set of practices based on beliefs (a “philosophy”) about
families, children, and helping relationships. The objectives of PIWI are to increase confidence, competence, and positive relationships for parents and children ages 0-2. It does so by keeping the parent-child relationship at the center, and by supporting responsive, respectful parent-child interactions.
The primary focus of PIWI is parent-child groups, but it may be used in home visitation and other settings. PIWI has been successfully used in community-based Head Start, early intervention, and other settings with a diverse range of parents and children. PIWI is not a curriculum, but PIWI groups do follow a specified schedule, which includes an opening, a focal topic for parent-child interaction and observation, a summing up, and a home activity.
