observational parenting assessment tool, the Keys to Interactive Parenting
Scale (KIPS) to assess parenting practices. It is designed to observe caregivers
of children 2 months through 5 years of age and requires a 20-minute observation
of parent-child play in a familiar setting. This is often videotaped in
the home or a convenient play setting. The observer rates 12
research-based caregiver behaviors in the context of the child’s needs,
which are set on 5-point rating scales with behavioral descriptors. KIPS
training is offered online so that it is easily accessible to those who have a PC
with a broadband internet connection. If you would like further
information, please take a look at our website </span></font><font color=navy><span

solid measures that can be used to assess parenting (best would be across the
spectrum of parenting practices, coping and attachment) of foster carers?
The measures we have used for parents ask questions around the time the
child was an infant and since the carers are not able to respond, they are
rendered invalid. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.</span></font></p>
