  • helping families be comfortable
  • effectively video-taping observations
  • scoring PICCOLO
  • using observation results to build parents’ strengths and bolster positive parenting

1-day Introduction and Overview Seminar

The 1-day PICCOLO seminar will describe the basic ideas of developmental parenting behaviors and a developmental parenting approach to working with parents, introduce the PICCOLO tool, and offer beginning practice observing and scoring with the tool with short (1-min and 5-min) video-recorded observations.

Participants are encouraged to ask questions throughout the day and also engage in a large-group discussion of questions about the tool and its use. The 1-day training prepares practitioners to use PICCOLO parenting observations in their work.

2-day Overview and Practice Seminar

The 2-day PICCOLO seminar includes the Introduction and Overview of the 1-day workshop and continues into a second day with more practice and reliability checking, using full-length (10-minute) observations, more extensive information about interpreting PICCOLO scores, and guided discussion about how to use the information from the tool to provide feedback to parents and plan home visiting activities.

Participants will role-play a home visit in which they explain PICCOLO, observe interaction, and provide feedback to a parent. A session is included for planning how to incorporate PICCOLO into current program activities.

The 2-day training typically results in most participants scoring PICCOLO reliably, but additional practice with the DVD is recommended after training to establish and maintain reliability with the developers.
