Conditions studied: Relation, Mother-Child, Family Conflict, Emotional Disturbances, Behavior Problem, Development Delay
In brief
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of Family Nurture Intervention in a mother-child group setting with a Standard Children's Learning Center (CLC) Program for preschool-aged children (ages 2-4.5). This approach is based on creating emotional connection and establishing mother-child two-way regulation, which the investigators hypothesize affects early child development. Mothers and children will be engaged by Nurture Specialists in comforting and calming interactions to regulate each other physically-leading to an automatic calming response to contact with each other.
