Circles of Interaction
Child does something (anything) indicating intent (any idea tiny or big) You do something that adds to what the child is doing The child completes the circle by doing something that builds on what you did
Joint Attention
Creating a shared moment of attention on an object Responsive joint attention: when we point out something to the child and the child looks at us and the object Initiated joint attention: when the child gets our attention and points something out

uh oh..
Procedure
We will watch the video We will watch it again We will use the voting cups to indicate how much we agree a particular moment appears to indicate a shift in the state of the child We will watch more videos
Normal Mismatch
1/3 of interactions go well 1/3 have breaks and repair 1/3 have breaks and are lost
Resilience to Stress
Long experience with repair Creates an ever broader and more nuanced ability to repair And with that a gradual ability to tolerate greater and greater stressors
Infants of depressed moms are depressed Infants of intrusive moms withdraw Infants of neglectful moms complain Infants of neglectful moms must try to selfregulate without the help of scaffolding and end up withdrawing Infants of abusive moms end up engaging in physical defensiveness, anger, and increased vigilance and fear
Managing Challenges
Never work alone Schedule regular meetings With someone who will really listen And help you find your own solutions Platinum Rule: A good listener treats you with respect so that you have the support to be able to tolerate the natural stress of helping your child (Treat others as we want others to treat others)
This engagement approach reduces parent stress and improves child function and parentchild relationships!
Questions?
Limited sense of competence, selfMore full sense of competence, selfesteem: I can do it. I learned how. esteem: I can figure it out.
Things to Avoid
Dont just entertain, quiz, or direct the child with your games, demands, or ideas Dont merely follow the child around use the child lead to start off Every idea is a good one to play with dont say no to the idea - connect and play with it. You can set limits as needed.
