with young
children and their families, they are uniquely well positioned to have an impact on developmental outcomes through anticipatory guidance at well - child visits, early developmental screening, practice - based developmental interventions, community linkage and referral programs, and advocacy for broader social change to support child development.40 — 44 This study reinforces the potential benefits of practice - based programs that support parenting and the home learning environment, such as «Reach Out and Read» and «Healthy Steps for Young Children,» 16,45,46 as well as community - based programs that help guide families through systems of care for developmental support, like Help Me Grow.47 Efforts to connect pediatric practices with home visitor and early care and education providers may provide referral opportunities for promoting early brain development.48 &m

at all sessions (e.g. Barrett et al., 2000 [20]-RRB-, attendance

Specific individual interventions
with a (trend) significant effect on preventing or reducing
child maltreatment that
were examined in
at least two independent
studies were: MST - CAN / BSF (intensive family therapy), Triple P (a parent training), ACT - Parent's Raising Safe Kids Program (a short - term parent training), and Healthy Start (a
home visitation intervention).
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].
