Article Synopsis
- - This study analyzed how a smalltalk parenting intervention impacted children's ability to self-regulate (effortful control) by the time they reached age 7.5, and it observed families from 2010 to 2012.
- - Parents of toddlers were divided into three groups: a standard playgroup, a smalltalk playgroup, and a smalltalk plus group, which received extra coaching at home; about 96% of the parents in the study were female.
- - The results showed that the smalltalk plus group had significant long-term benefits in children's self-regulation due to parents' improved ability to keep their children's attention, while other expected factors like parent verbal responsiveness did not show the same impact.

Educator perspectives of this transition have not been widely studied.
Purpose: This qualitative descriptive study aimed to describe Australian postgraduate Maternal, Child and Family Health nurse educators' perceptions of COVID-19 impacts on student knowledge of theory and practice, and lessons learned through their responses.
