Infant and early childhood mental health Endorsement
There is agreement across infant and early childhood fields that infant and young children's development depends on quality caregiving, which in turn requires a competent and well‐supported workforce. This paper includes results of 3 qualitative questions from an international survey (U.S. and Australia, n = 911) of holders of an Infant or Early Childhood Mental Health Endorsement credential that documents their knowledge and skills. The U.S.‐bas…
The validation of the Self‐Care Belief and Behavior Questionnaire in the Infant and Early Child Mental Health Workforce
Professionals in the Infant/Early Child Mental Health (IECMH) field are at an increased risk of experiencing burnout, compassion fatigue, and secondary trauma symptoms due to the nature of their work that is further aggravated by the COVID‐19 pandemic. Engagement in self‐care may be a helpful strategy for IECMH professionals to curb these psychological effects. Previous operationalizations of self‐care have singularly emphasized the behavior aspe…
The development and initial validation of the self-care belief and behavior questionnaire
The construct of self-care offers a promising area of study as a possible intervention point to improve quality of life. However, current operationalizations of self-care have been limited by emphasizing self-care behavior without considering self-care beliefs. This study created and tested the psychometric properties of a novel measure, the Self-care Belief and Behavior Questionnaire. The measure was informed by Butler et al. (2019) proposed sel…
Taking care of the caregivers
The present study examined the relationships between COVID‐related stress, mental health and professional burnout in the infant and early child mental health (IECMH) workforce and examined reflective supervision and consultation (RSC) as a potential protective factor in the context of COVID‐related stress. Participants included 123 adults ( n = 121 female, modal age range 30–39 years) in the TN IECMH workforce (mean years of experience = 13.6 yea…
Our way of being
The optimal relational experiences of infants and young children demand a cross‐sector workforce informed by Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health (IECMH) principles and practices. A recent review by the Alliance for the Advancement of Infant Mental Health, Inc identified seven themes that help define “What makes an IECMH association strong?”: (1) Identity, (2) Cross‐Systems Collaborations, (3) Sound Organizational Structure, (4) Competency‐In…
Potential Neural Mediators of Mom Power Parenting Intervention Effects on Maternal Intersubjectivity and Stress Resilience
Stress resilience in parenting depends on the parent's capacity to understand subjective experiences in self and child, namely intersubjectivity, which is intimately related to mimicking other's affective expressions (i. e., mirroring). Stress can worsen parenting by potentiating problems that can impair intersubjectivity, e.g., problems of "over-mentalizing" (misattribution of the child's behaviors) and "under-coupling" (inadequate child-oriente…
The Moderating Effects of Maternal Age at Childbirth and Emotion Dysregulation on the Intergenerational Continuity of Emotionally Unsupportive Parenting Behaviors
Little research has investigated factors that may moderate the intergenerational transmission of emotionally unsupportive parenting behaviors. The present study examined the role of two moderators, emotion dysregulation and maternal age at childbirth, on the relation between maternal childhood history of emotional maltreatment and current observations of emotionally unsupportive parenting behaviors in 64 mother-child dyads. Results indicated that…
Maternal Emotion Regulation
This study examined the link between maternal emotion regulation (ER) and emotion parenting behaviors and child ER, particularly emphasizing the previously understudied potential associations between mothers' ER and concurrent emotion parenting behaviors. Community-recruited participants included 64 mother-child ( M = 9.5 years, 38 girls) dyads. Mothers completed measures on their own ER, their child's ER, and their emotion parenting strategies. …
Family emotion expressivity, emotion regulation, and the link to psychopathology
Research has established links between parental emotion socialization behaviours and youth emotional and psychological outcomes; however, no study has simultaneously compared these relations for White, Black, and Asian individuals. In this study, emerging adults identifying as White (n= 61), Black (n= 51), or Asian (n= 56) retrospectively reported on parents' emotion socialization behaviours during childhood, existing emotion regulation (ER) skil…
