Promoting First Relationships® in Pediatrics
What is Promoting First Relationships in Pediatrics?
An interactive program to learn how to nurture and support the parent-child relationship during everyday clinic interactions with families and children.
- Observe and support responsive caregiving during clinic visits by understanding the foundations of early childhood social-emotional development and elements of safe, stable and nurturing child-caregiver relationships.
- Approach well child-care through a relationship focused lens including feeding and sleeping by learning developmental timing of key changes and their impact on the parent-child relationship.
- Reframe challenging behaviors for families by helping caregivers recognize the unmet social and emotional needs that underlie their child’s behavior.
- Apply specific skills that translate principles of trauma-informed care, cultural humility and strengths-based approaches into everyday clinic interactions ensuring that families feel safe, valued and effective in raising young children.
- Experience a renewed sense of meaning and joy during your interactions and visits using the relationship-based framework and skills.
