This manual is a presentation of the knowledge we have gained through our clinical and research experience using an infant/child-led approach to intervention delivered as a program called Watch, Wait, and Wonder. Our approach to early intervention is a relational one and stems from our efforts to find ways both to fully involve the infant and young child as agents of change in their own treatment and also to enable the parent to directly work therapeutically with their own child. We see Watch, Wait, and Wonder as a psycho-ecologically based way to intervene. By this we mean, that just as it is important to be aware of the ecological implications of intervening in the environmental system, it is also important to consider the ecological implications of intervening in the parent-infant system. We believe that in early intervention it is essential not to intervene in ways that might come between parents and their infants. This is particularly important when the parent-infant relationship is already fragile and under stress. Watch, Wait, and Wonder also addresses criteria for optimal development and attachment through enhancing the parent's role as primary facilitator. Put another way, Watch, Wait, and Wonder does not usurp the parent’s role in favor of the expert. Above all, by working directly with the parent-infant relationship we support and strengthen the often fragile connection that characterizes the relationships of mothers and infants who come to our clinics for help. --- from the preface |
