Es sobradamente conocido que la participación de las familias en la escuela nunca ha alcanzado las expectativas deseadas por la comunidad educativa, pero si hablamos de los progenitores migrantes nos confronta a una cuestión más compleja que la anterior. Por ello, el artículo persigue conocer el grado de participación y contribución de las familias migrantes, así como las actuaciones del profesorado, para fomentar el conocimiento e implicación de los padres en la vida escolar en los centros de educación infantil y primaria de atención preferente de la Región de Murcia. En tal sentido, se realizó una investigación cuantitativa no experimental de corte descriptivo e inferencial, empleando dos cuestionarios, en el que, han participado un total de 823 familias y 150 docentes. Los resultados arrojan niveles muy bajos de participación de los progenitores en el Consejo Escolar, y en la asociación de madres y padres (AMPA). No obstante, se detectan mejoras significativas en cuanto a una mayor contribución de los progenitores como supervisar y controlar las tareas escolares, apoyarles en la organización del tiempo de estudio e informarse sobre la asistencia regular de los hijos e hijas a clase. It is well known that families’ participation at school has never reached the expectations desired by the educational community, but if we talk about migrant parents, we are confronted with a more complex issue than the previous one. For this reason, this article seeks to know participation and contribution degree of migrant families, as well as, teachers’ behaviour to promote parents’ knowledge and involvement at school life in early childhood and elementary schools of preferential attention in Región de Murcia. In this sense, a non-experimental quantitative research of a descriptive and inferential nature was carried out, using two questionnaires, in which a total of 823 families and 150 teachers participated. The results show very low levels of parental participation at School Council and AMPA (School Association of Parents). However significant improvements have been detected in terms of a greater contribution from parents, such as supervising and controlling schoolwork, supporting them in organizing study time, and informing about their children’s regular attendance at school. Key Words: Participation, contribution, communication, migrant families, faculty, school.

Overweight, obesity and early childhood caries (ECC) are preventable conditions affecting infants and young children, with increased prevalence in those formula-fed. Previous research has focused on distinct outcomes for oral health and healthy weight gain. However, the aetiology may be linked through overlapping obesogenic and cariogenic feeding behaviours, such as increased sugar exposure through bottle propping and overfeeding. Best-practice bottle feeding and transition to cup use may concurrently reduce overweight, obesity and ECC. This integrative review aimed to identify interventions supporting best-practice formula feeding or bottle cessation and examine the intervention effects on feeding, oral health and weight outcomes. The reviewers searched nine databases and found 27 studies that met the predetermined inclusion criteria. Eighteen studies focused on populations vulnerable to ECC or unhealthy weight gain. All studies focused on carer education; however, only 10 studies utilised behaviour change techniques or theories addressing antecedents to obesogenic or cariogenic behaviours. The outcomes varied: 16 studies reported mixed outcomes, and eight reported worsened post-intervention outcomes. While some studies reported improvements, these were not maintained long-term. Many study designs were at risk of bias. Effective intervention strategies for preventing ECC and child obesity require the holistic use of interdisciplinary approaches, consumer co-design and the use of behavioural change theory.

This article describes an early intervention program designed for speech-language pathologists enrolled in a master's-level program. The program provided students with courses and clinical experiences that prepared them to work with birth to 5-year-old children and their families in a family-centered, interdisciplinary, and ecologically valid manner. The effectiveness of the program was documented by pre- and post-training measures and supported the feasibility of instituting an early childhood specialization within a traditional graduate program in speech-language pathology.
