Parent-Child Interaction Feeding Scale Workshop

DEVELOP OBSERVATION SKILLS IN INFANT AND
EARLY CHILDHOOD MENTAL HEALTH

At the very foundation of infant mental health is the ability to skillfully observe a caregiver and their infant during an interaction. We know that attuned caregiver-child interactions lead to better health and mental health outcomes for children. We also know that interactions can range from attuned to mis-attuned, or somewhere in the middle.

HOW DO SERVICE PROVIDERS DEVELOP THEIR OBSERVATION
SKILLS, THE ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND THE UNDERLYING INTERACTIONAL QUALITY BETWEEN CAREGIVER AND INFANT?
THROUGH PRACTICE AND GUIDANCE.

Learning the PCI Feeding scale provides the training and practice needed to conduct a reliable and valid observation of a caregiver-infant interaction. This training gives you concrete areas to guide intervention and encourage positive parent-child interactions.

LEARNING THE FEEDING SCALE meets the following competencies for certification in Infant Mental Health:

Competencies:
– Infant/Very Young Child Development & Behavior
– Observational Skills
– Screening and Assessment
– Disorders of Infancy and Early Childhood 

“I will never look at parent-child
interaction in the same way again.
This training has taught me to leave my
biases at the door and focus on the positive.
I am forever changed.”
