This course introduces the concept of infant mental health, emphasizing individual child, family-centered care, environment and context and development. This course investigates attachment, the "fourth trimester" transition, and temperament, as well as strategies to enhance caregiver and infant co-occupations, including infant massage and positive routines.
Please Note: While our Health and Safety courses cover some topics that are required for preservice and ongoing training, your licensing agency may require specific, pre-approved courses. Please check with your licensing agency to determine whether Health and Safety courses on continued can be applied to your individual requirements.
