ABSTRACT

This article reviews the evolution of a newborn through the first year of life and the potential impacts of COVID-19 on the infant, parent, and the parent-infant relationship. Babies grow in the context of relationships, and the quality of those relationships affects the physiological and psychological organization of the baby. Precisely because each baby is a being with unique biology, temperament, and ways of experiencing, feeling, and learning, much is to be discovered and understood about them. The baby's wordless communications require their parents to intuit, infer, hypothesize, and experiment as parents come to know the needs of their baby. As we walk alongside parents who struggle to come to know their infant-even as the infant is coming to know them-we are required to have conceptual knowledge of how a newborn becomes a fully awakened infant. Under typical conditions, the birth of a firstborn baby presents a caregiving challenge and developmental opportunity for the emerging parent. Environmental context can serve to support or interfere in the success of the adjustment. This paper will explore some theoretical underpinnings that contribute to infant and parent well-being and the possible impact of being born during the COVID-19 pandemic. Also considered will be the undue burden of families bearing the weight of economic inequities, oppression, and structurally supported racism. This article will explore the influence of parental perception, the development of attachment relationships, and how that is influenced by and influences infant communication. Finally, it will suggest ways that psychotherapists seeing individuals who are parents can hold the infant in mind as they work to understand and respond to their adult clients navigating the impacts of this pandemic.

ABSTRACT

Early relational health between caregivers and children is foundational for child health and well-being. Children and caregivers are also embedded within multiple systems and sectors, or a "child-serving ecosystem", that shapes child development. Although the COVID-19 pandemic has made this embeddedness abundantly clear, systems remain siloed and lack coordination. Fostering relational health amongst layers of this ecosystem may be a way to systematically support young children and families who are facing adversity. We integrate theory, examples, and empirical findings to develop a conceptual model informed by infant mental health and public health frameworks that illustrates how relational health across the child-serving ecosystem may promote child health and well-being at a population level. Our model articulates what relational health looks like across levels of this ecosystem from primary caregiver-child relationships, to secondary relationships between caregivers and child-serving systems, to tertiary relationships among systems that shape child outcomes directly and indirectly. We posit that positive relational health across levels is critical for promoting child health and well-being broadly. We provide examples of evidence-based approaches that address primary, secondary, and tertiary relational health, and suggest ways to promote relational health through cross-sector training and psychoeducation in the science of early development. This model conceptualizes relational health across the child-serving ecosystem and can serve as a template for promoting child health and well-being in the context of adversity.


La salud de la temprana relación entre quienes prestan cuidado y los niños es fundamental para la salud y el bienestar del niño. Los niños y quienes les cuidan forman parte de múltiples sistemas y sectores, o un "ecosistema de servicio al niño," que moldea el desarrollo del niño. Aunque la pandemia del COVID-19 ha demostrado abundante y claramente esta pertenencia, los sistemas permanecen aislados y les hace falta coordinación. Fomentar la salud de la relación entre las capas del ecosistema pudiera ser una manera de apoyar sistemáticamente a los niños pequeños y familias que se enfrentan con situaciones adversas. Presentamos un modelo conceptual con base en marcos de trabajo de la salud mental infantil y la salud pública que ilustra cómo la salud de la relación a lo largo del ecosistema de servicio al niño pudiera promover el desarrollo del niño al nivel de grupo de población. Nuestro modelo articula cómo aparece la salud de la relación a lo largo de los niveles del ecosistema desde las relaciones entre quien presta el cuidado primario y el niño, hasta las relaciones secundarias entre quienes prestan el cuidado y loa sistemas de servicio al niño, y las relaciones terciarias entre sistemas que amoldan directa e indirectamente los resultados en el niño. Una positiva salud de la relación a través de todos los niveles es esencial para promover la salud y el bienestar del niño de manera amplia. Describimos ejemplos específicos de salud de la relación primaria, secundaria y terciaria, y sugerimos maneras de promover la salud de la relación a través del entrenamiento intersectorial y la educación sicológica dentro de la ciencia del desarrollo temprano. Este modelo conceptualiza la salud de la relación a lo largo del ecosistema de servicio al niño y puede ser un esquema patrón para promover el desarrollo del niño dentro del contexto de situaciones adversas.


La Santé Relationnelle Précoce entre les personnes prenant soin des enfants et les enfants est fondamentale pour la santé de l'enfant et son bien-être. Les enfants et les personnes prenant soin d'eux sont encastrés dans de multiples systèmes et des secteurs, ou un « écosystème ¼ servant l'enfant qui forme le développement de l'enfant. Bien que la pandémie du Covid19 ait rendu cet encastrement très clair, les systèmes demeurent compartimentés et manquent de coordination. Cultiver la santé relationnelle au sein des couches de l'écosystème pourrait s'avérer être une manière de soutenir des jeunes enfants et les familles faisant face aux obstacles. Nous présentons un modèle conceptuel informé par les structures de la santé mentale du nourrisson et de la santé publique qui illustre la manière dont la santé relationnelle au travers de l'écosystème servant les enfants peut promouvoir le développement de l'enfant au niveau de la population. Notre modèle articule ce à quoi la santé relationnelle ressemble au travers des niveaux de l'écosystème, des relations entre la personne principale qui s'occupe de l'enfant et l'enfant aux relations secondaires entre les personnes prenant soin de l'enfant et les systèmes servant l'enfant, jusqu'aux relations tertiaires entres les systèmes qui donnent forme aux résultats directement et indirectement. Une santé relationnelle positive au travers de tous les niveaux est critique pour la promotion de la santé de l'enfant et de son bien-être en général. Nous décrivons des exemples spécifiques de santé relationnelle primaire, secondaire et tertiaire, et suggérons des manières de promouvoir la santé relationnelle au travers de la formation entre secteurs et de la psychoéducation dans la science du développement précoce. Ce modèle conceptualise la santé relationnelle au travers de l'écosystème servant l'enfant et peut servir de modèle pour la promotion du développement de l'enfant dans le contexte de l'adversité.
