 The investigators will conduct a two-phase study. Phase I months 1-4 will entail a brief pilot of Purposeful Parenting in three Boston-based health centers to optimize quality and logistical details. Phase II months 5-36 will determine, with a parallel group randomized controlled trial RCT, whether delivering Purposeful Parenting leads to increased responsive parenting at the interventions conclusion in intervention vs control parents, assessed using a validated observational measure. The investigators will enroll 260 low-income families with a full term newborn infant who present for well-child care. Families randomized to the control group will receive usual anticipatory guidance at each well-child visit in the first 12 months of life. Families randomized to the intervention group will receive usual anticipatory guidance plus Purposeful Parenting. As secondary outcomes, the investigators will explore the degree to which Purposeful Parenting in intervention vs control parents increases parental knowledge about responsive parenting and child development, reduces parenting stress and improves perceptions of parenting self-efficacy via validated parental self-report measures at the conclusion of the intervention. Investigators will explore potential differences by study group in child SEL development at the conclusion of the intervention. In addition, investigators will examine differences in the above listed outcomes are 6 months following the intervention. The RCT will include the collection of process level data including cost.
