Singapore launches largest parenting study on caregiving
A study, touted as Singapore's largest on parenting intervention, aims to strengthen caregiving to improve a child's emotional, cognitive and physical health outcomes. The aim is to recruit 624 families, after a similar and smaller study was done. Thereafter, policymakers and practitioners will look at the research and potentially carve out actionable programmes across the island. Professor Anne Rifkin-Graboi from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine at NUS, and lead researcher of the LOVING study, gives more analysis on what the study achieved and what "sensitive caregiving" means and how it differs from current practices. She also talks about why the study targets median- to lower-income families, and other parenting challenges, as well as how the study could shape future policies and parenting programmes.
