The Building Early Emotional Skills (BEES) parenting program is designed to promote parent–child relationships and more optimal social-emotional development by addressing four sequentially built skills in parenting infants/toddlers: (1) building parental awareness of emotions in self and child; (2) listening and interacting sensitively; (3) identifying and labeling emotions; and (4) intentionally supporting early self-regulation skills. BEES used an 8-session format delivered in online or face-to-face platforms (N = 264 female caregivers; n = 214 online, n = 50 face-to-face). Linear mixed modeling for pre-to-post changes showed significant increases in knowledge, emotion coaching beliefs, acceptance of negative emotions, and self-reported emotionally supportive responses to emotions; and, significant decreases in rejection of emotions, emotionally unsupportive responses, and parenting distress. Results suggested no differences in rate of change by program delivery type. Caregivers with more depressive symptoms showed greater improvement in their parenting distress. The BEES program may be a tool to support early positive parenting.

以面对面和在线形式对培养早期情感技能 (BEES) 课程进行试点评估

建立早期情绪技能 (BEES) 育儿计划旨在通过解决育儿婴儿/幼儿的四种顺序培养技能来促进亲子关系和更优化的社会情感发展：(1) 建立父母对自我和孩子情绪的意识；(2) 灵敏地倾听和互动；(3)识别和标记情绪；(4) 有意支持早期自我调节技能。BEES 使用在线或面对面平台提供的 8 个会话格式（N  = 264 名女性护理人员；n  = 214 名在线，n = 50 次面对面）。前后变化的线性混合模型显示知识、情绪指导信念、负面情绪的接受以及自我报告的对情绪的情绪支持反应显着增加；并且，对情绪的拒绝、情绪上不支持的反应和育儿困扰显着减少。结果表明，项目交付类型的变化率没有差异。有更多抑郁症状的照顾者在育儿困扰方面表现出更大的改善。BEES 计划可能是支持早期积极养育的工具。
