BOLD fMRI activations and LC contrast associated with successful episodic memory in healthy older adults and MCI.

Child development is a dynamic and continuous process characterized by the progressive acquisition of motor, cognitive, socioemotional and communicative skills that enable the child to interact with the environment and adapt to the demands of the context in which they live (Hadders‐Algra ; Zubler et al. ). However, this process may be negatively influenced by biological and environmental factors such as prematurity, low birth weight, neonatal complications and unfavourable socioeconomic conditions, which are associated with long‐term developmental impairments (Fernandes et al. ; Formiga et al. ; Fuentefria et al. ; Silva et al. ). Given these risk factors, early interventions and developmental promotion strategies become essential, especially during the first year of life. In this context, parental participation is recognized as a central element in promoting child development. The literature demonstrates that parent‐guided interventions can favour positive motor and cognitive outcomes, particularly in populations with greater socioeconomic vulnerability (Luoto et al. ; Muhoozi et al. ). However, parental knowledge regarding child development is not always sufficient to sustain appropriate practices in the home environment, especially when the guidance provided by professionals is not fully understood or easily applicable to the family routine (Lee et al. ). Therefore, beyond providing guidance, it is necessary to offer educational materials that help parents translate technical knowledge into practical actions in the child's daily life (Khurana et al. ; Pedersen and Hansen ; Trubian et al. ). Educational technologies have emerged as promising tools in maternal and child health, as they expand access to information, strengthen communication between families and health services and promote adherence to professional guidance (Higgs et al. ). Educational materials that include visual resources, such as illustrations, images and videos, facilitate the association between theoretical and practical information, contributing to better understanding and retention of content. Previous studies have demonstrated positive results using different formats of educational materials, such as comic books (Rosas‐Blum et al. ) and educational videos developed by health professionals (Corrêa et al. ).
