Knowing What You See: Skills to Observe Parent-Infant/Young Child Relationships
Summary
What do interactions between babies and their caregivers "tell us" about the nature of their relationship? Are there ways of interacting that can help us understand when the relationship is strong, at risk or worrisome? This workshop is designed to help child welfare professionals attend to the more subtle aspects of parent-young child relationships as a way to be more helpful to strengthening or supporting the parent-infant/young child relationship.
- Identify three key domains of interaction to assess for relational health.
- Identify two markers of healthy parent-infant relationships.
- Identify and respond to two markers of worrisome parent-infant relationships.
