We want to correlate support to parents with child development. Methods: We routinely use the Edinburgh Post-Partum Depression Screening and the Ages and Stages Questionnaire, so we conducted a review of both measures. Results: As a result of parents receiving support Postpartum Depression indicators decrease and Communication and Language increase in children. Conclusions: Programs that aim to support parents raise their children benefit children's developmental indicators.
