In this article, the authors describe the rationale for the way they work with troubled infant–parent relationships. They focus on two approaches developed at the Hincks‐Dellcrest Children's Mental Health Centre (Toronto, Canada), a publically funded agency where they work and teach. One approach is Watch, Wait and Wonder, and the other is Infant–Parent Psychotherapy. The authors share a common philosophy that directs the way they think about the way they work. Two clinical case studies are presented to illustrate the treatment process of each approach. The presenting symptoms in both cases are similar (sleep difficulties), but the meaning, ages, and family compositions are different. The interventions unlocked the difficulties that each relationship was experiencing in a brief period of time
