Research in the Journal of Family Psychology, which videoed both parent interactions and babies sleeping (in 35 families), found that the more responsive parents were with their babies before bedtime, the more they responded to emotional cues and the closer the physical contact they had with them, the better their babies slept.
So, too, are reduced child-parent interaction and intimacy and a lack of quality time spent doing developmentally important activities such as homework, parent-teacher meetings, sports and music lessons.
So I think it's pretty clear that if you interfere with the child-parent interaction (and other social interactions), this can lead to the autistic triad.
Nurses' caring attitude and regular communication adapted to specific needs are perceived by parents as necessary preconditions for parents' interaction and development of a bond with their baby.
A home evaluation of parent interaction, environment, and child development at baseline and following the intervention would objectively demonstrate the outcomes of providing in home services to this population.
A range of interventions were found that directly targeted parents, including child-parent interactions and health care professional parent interactions, as well as complex interventions.
There were no significant associations between negative parenting interactions and later diagnoses of psychopathology.
Independent predictors for problem behaviours identified through multivariable logistic regression modelling included being male, demographic risk, maternal mental health risk, poor parenting interactions, and low parenting morale.
There was no statistically significant relationship between negative parenting interactions and oppositional/conduct disorders, although negative interactions were rarely observed in this setting.
They reflect on the positive and negative affect that they and their child experience and express during parenting interactions and how their moods influence one another.
