This scoping review synthesizes research on MM in parents of atypically developing children, examining group differences compared to typically developing populations, links between parental MM and well-being, and connections between MM and broader parenting skills. The database search identified twelve studies published between 2012 and 2026. Findings across studies are mixed: while some report no significant MM differences, others show that parents of neurodivergent children more often use negative or symptomatic descriptors, suggesting challenges in recognizing internal states. Positive MM appears associated with aspects of parental well-being, particularly lower parenting stress or distress, although findings for anxiety and depression are more mixed. However, maternal anxiety and child behavior outcomes show a complex interplay, with MM potentially moderating negative effects. The review also explores intervention studies that target MM to enhance parental functioning and child development. In conclusion, MM emerges as a meaningful construct for understanding and supporting parenting in atypical and at-risk developmental contexts, warranting further research on its role in early intervention and parent-child outcomes.","PeriodicalId":48026,"journal":{"name":"Infant Mental Health Journal","volume":"47 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148534299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study examined data from a large, government-sponsored IECMHC program in a mid-Atlantic U.S. metropolitan region, involving 17 consultants (50% Black or African American, 36% other racial minority) serving 102 early childhood education centers with mostly racial minority staff and families. Through an iterative process with program leadership, 15 fidelity metrics were developed and operationalized at the programmatic, classroom, and child-specific levels using consultants' electronic documentation. The resulting fidelity database enables programs to assess consultant adherence to core consultation activities, identify areas for quality improvement, and facilitate reflective supervision. This approach offers a practical, replicable strategy for other IECMHC programs to adopt or adapt to enhance implementation fidelity and, ultimately, the equity, quality and effectiveness of mental health consultation services for infants, young children, and their caregivers.","PeriodicalId":48026,"journal":{"name":"Infant Mental Health Journal","volume":"47 4","pages":"e70108"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13310348/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148340548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 heterosexual couples (22 individuals) living in the United States, in which at least one partner reported a history of childhood maltreatment. Interviews were analyzed for emergent themes related to adjustment to parenthood, relational functioning, and dyadic support processes. Four overarching dyadic themes emerged: (1) relational meaning-making of childhood maltreatment, (2) relational challenges activated by maltreatment history, (3) dyadic support as co-regulation for maltreatment-related vulnerability, and (4) couples' resilient and intentional orientation toward family life. Findings suggest that supportive romantic partnerships may function as a relational context through which parenting-related self-doubt is negotiated, emotional safety is fostered, and caregiving approaches distinct from participants' own childhood experiences are collaboratively constructed. These insights have implications for dyadic interventions during the transition to parenthood that aim to support reflective parenting and relational resilience.","PeriodicalId":48026,"journal":{"name":"Infant Mental Health Journal","volume":"47 4","pages":"e70106"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13269663/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148260074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mother's mental health, child sex and parent's professional class were then tested as potential moderators. Findings revealed no significant associations between paternal depression or anxiety with any measure of child development. However, mother's professional class and maternal prenatal depression moderated the association between paternal anxiety and several areas of child development, with children of lower maternal professional classes showing poorer cognitive outcomes but improved social perception when exposed to paternal anxiety. Children exposed to paternal anxiety showed worse working memory outcomes and future-oriented tasks and organization when also exposed to maternal depression. While our findings contrast with current research, showing no relationship between PMH and child development, they highlight the importance of considering family socioeconomic position when studying the relationship between PMH and child development.","PeriodicalId":48026,"journal":{"name":"Infant Mental Health Journal","volume":"47 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/imhj.70104","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148220353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At 8 months, mothers in the SCT group demonstrated fewer responsive and teaching behaviors than mothers in the TD group, and exhibited fewer encouraging behaviors at 24 months. However, longitudinally, the same mothers exhibited significantly more responsive and teaching behaviors at T2 than at T1.

One's state of mind with respect to attachment is thought to guide behavior in relationships, including caregiving relationships, and thus may have important implications for parents’ engagement in parenting interventions. Relational savoring (RS) is a brief attachment-based intervention that has been shown to increase mothers’ parenting sensitivity, feelings of closeness to their child, and positive emotion. However, it remains unknown how mothers with different attachment profiles respond to this intervention. In the current illustrative multiple case study, we examine how three mothers (Mage = 31.0 years, SDage = 1.0) of young children in the United States classified with different states of mind with respect to attachment respond to RS. First, we provide samples of mothers’ AAI discourse to illustrate their states of mind with respect to attachment. Next, we analyze their responses during RS sessions using a qualitative approach. Results demonstrate differences in mothers’ attachment-related discourse, capacity for reflection, and change processes during the intervention that varied by attachment profile.
