Building stronger bonds: Enhancing parent-child attunement

For children to succeed and learn over the long term, they rely on a positive nurturing relationship with key adults in their lives. This session will address parent-child attunement, which is the ability to recognize, interpret, and respond to a child's needs in a sensitive and consistent manner and is essential for children who struggle with self-regulation and processing the world around them. Additionally, the session will address caregivers' own stress and emotional well-being, providing tools for self-regulation and resilience to support both the child and the caregiver in navigating these challenges together.

Learning objective:

  • Describe attunement and its role in child development for children with complex histories.
  • Name 3 strategies for enhancing connection and communication within the parent-child relationship.
  • List 3 mindfulness and grounding techniques to enhance parents' present-moment awareness and responsiveness.
  • Name 3 ways in which implicit bias can affect the healthcare provider's perception of the parenting capabilities of a woman with a substance use disorder.
