Promoting First Relationships® in Pediatrics

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.

Members of the multidisciplinary primary care team – front desk staff, care coordinators, medical assistants, pediatricians, family medicine providers, nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers, therapists, allied health professionals, and navigators.
