Abstract:
Objective To identify specific behaviors detrimental to language development in parent-child inter-actions among Mandarin-speaking infants and toddlers with language delays,and to provide a foundation for develo-ping parent-involved early intervention programs that enhance language acquisition.Methods A qualitative research design was used,employing interaction analysis and categorical analysis methods.Observations from 30 parent-child interaction videos involving children with delayed language development were analyzed to identify common detrimen-tal behaviors(coding).The validity of the qualitative findings was tested by analyzing 108 parent-child where low-quality parental interactions were identified and provided with five rounds of constructive feedback.Results Two major categories of detrimental behaviors with three aspects and a total of 10 issues were identified:5 issues related to parental interaction skills,3 issues related to mutual influences between parent and child,and 2 issues related to the interaction environment.After 5 rounds of feedback,detrimental behaviors in the 108 parent-child pairs im-proved significantly,with 8 behaviors met the 80％stability standard.Conclusion The study identified and catego-rized behaviors in parent-child interactions that hinder language development in children with language delays.Video-based behavior analysis and feedback can enhance parental interaction skills and create a conductive environ-ment for early language development.
