Parents know when their child is not developing as expected...
There may be very clear signs such as poor sleep, refusal to eat, or overt clinginess for example. Or you may have more subtle concerns such as difficulty soothing or bonding with your child.
But what if you cannot find a way to attune to your child?
Attunement, which is a parent's ability to identify and respond to the child's emotional needs, is like a dance. It is a process of trial and error, when you as a parent learn your infant's likes and dislikes, what soothes your child and how best to comfort them.
At the Parent-Child clinic, we listen to parents' worries, fully aware that responding as soon as possible to clearly identified concerns will facilitate optimum development for the infant. A difficult child affects the entire family, for that reason we believe it is important to work with the entire family.
