attachment with their primary
attachment figure have been shown to be vulnerable to stress, have

problems in the
early school years, poor peer interactions, unusual or bizarre behaviour in the classroom, high teacher ratings of dissociative behaviour and internalizing symptoms in middle childhood, high levels of teacher - rated social and behavioural difficulties in class, low mathematics attainment, and impaired formal operational skills.3 They may show high levels of overall psychopathology at 17 years.3 Disorganized

General indices regarding mental health of mothers have been associated with their children's sleep, and less well - organized sleep patterns have been noted in children from poorly functioning families.113) Mothers of children with sleep disturbances exhibited much higher psychological stress than did controls, obtaining increased scores on all factors of the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ).114) Children's sleep quality significantly predicted that of their mothers, with maternal sleep quality associated with stress and fatigue.115) Moreover, infants of mothers with low levels of depression and anxiety were more likely to recover from sleep
problems than those with high levels of depression and anxiety after controlling for the influence of
attachment patterns.116) Sleep disturbances in
early childhood were positively related to negative maternal perceptions of their child, 117) potentially interfering with the development of beneficial parent - child interactions.

The main results can be summarized as follows: (1) Synchrony during
early mother - child interactions has neurophysiological correlates [85] as evidenced though the study of vagal tone [78], cortisol levels [80], and skin conductance [79]; (2) Synchrony impacts infant's cognitive processing [64], school adjustment [86], learning of word - object relations [87], naming of object wholes more than object parts [88]; and IQ [67], [89]; (3) Synchrony is correlated with and / or predicts better adaptation overall (e.g., the capacity for empathy in adolescence [89]; symbolic play and internal state speech [77]; the relation between mind - related comments and
attachment security [90], [91]; and mutual initiation and mutual compliance [74], [92]-RRB-; (3) Lack of synchrony is related to at risk individuals and / or temperamental difficulties such as home observation in identifying
problem dyads [93], as well as mother - reported internalizing behaviors [94]; (4) Synchrony has been observable within several behavioral or sensorial modalities: smile strength and eye constriction [52]; tonal and temporal analysis of vocal interactions [95](although, the association between vocal interactions and synchrony differs between immigrant (lower synchrony) and non-immigrant groups [84]-RRB-; mutual gaze [96]; and coordinated movements [37]; (5) Each partner (including the infant) appears to play a role in restoring synchrony during interactions: children have coping behaviors for repairing interactive mismatches [97]; and infants are able to communicate intent and to respond to the intent expressed by the mother at the age of 2 months [98].
