More home visits should be made in the context of prophylactic care for children up to three years of age, in order to come to grips with problems of child development likely to results from the inadequate knowledge and experience of parents and to promote age-adjusted motivation for the undisturbed development of their children. In this sense home visits can be an effective approach to primary prevention and a contribution to harmonious development in childhood. The priorities of counselling and their content are subject to change, depending on the age and development of the children involved. Examples are given of age-adjusted stimulation of development for one-year-old children. They are based on results of empirical investigations conducted between 1984 and 1987.

Discussions with every general practice, health visitor, and clinical medical officer in Northumberland Health Authority led to agreement about the content of preschool health surveillance, the ages at which it should be done, and referral pathways after a failed screening test. Each primary health care team now undertakes to do a basic minimum set of screening tests, and each team decides who in the team will do each test. The screening system agreed on should enable time to become available for the equally important aspects of surveillance--namely, developmental guidance, health education, and assessment and follow up of problems. The discussions also led to agreement about how the health authority should evaluate the effect of the surveillance programme on the health of children.
