Knowing What You See: Skills to Observe Parent-Infant/Young Child Relationships
October 12, 2018 - 1:00pm to 4:15pm
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?
