This exploratory qualitative study examined how MHCs build the capacity and skills needed to develop an equity stance through RS. Sixteen mostly white and Hispanic MHCs from a Southwestern IECMHC program participated in individual interviews about their supervisory relationships and experiences addressing equity issues. Data were analyzed inductively to identify patterns and generate an emerging framework grounded in participants’ experiences. We identified a developmental and relational process in which supervisors’ behaviors gradually built trust and connection, cultivating safety as the foundation for reflective and equity-focused dialogue. Two interconnected themes captured this progression: (1) supervisors’ behaviors that cultivate safety and foster equity dialogue, and (2) consultants’ experiences of felt safety that support their willingness and vulnerability to engage in, or withhold from, equity dialogue. These findings align with relational-developmental and parallel process models of RS, extending existing literature by illustrating how intentional, equity-centered supervision supports consultants’ capacity to engage in reflection and promote equitable outcomes for diverse children and families.","PeriodicalId":48026,"journal":{"name":"Infant Mental Health Journal","volume":"47 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147844531","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}

This longitudinal study investigated whether maternal resilience in the early postpartum period moderates the association between maternal ACEs and infant socioemotional problems at 6-months postpartum. One hundred twenty-eight mothers from Canada (92.2% White) reported their ACEs during pregnancy, resilience at 2-weeks postpartum, and their infants’ socioemotional development at 6-months postpartum. Regression analyses revealed that higher maternal ACE exposure was associated with greater infant socioemotional problems. Higher maternal resilience at 2-weeks postpartum was associated with fewer infant socioemotional problems. A significant interaction between ACEs and resilience indicated that resilience buffered the association of ACEs and infant socioemotional problems, but only among mothers reporting three or fewer ACEs. These findings align with evidence suggesting that four or more ACEs represent a threshold of heightened risk and highlight the early postpartum period as a critical window for resilience-focused interventions.","PeriodicalId":48026,"journal":{"name":"Infant Mental Health Journal","volume":"47 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13136786/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147822268","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}

However, there is a lack of long-term, prospective studies in this area and no previous studies have examined parental reflective functioning and child reflective functioning in the context of adoption. Using a structural equation modeling approach, this study addressed this knowledge gap by examining the associations between 96 Belgian adoptive mothers’ and fathers’ reflective functioning during the transition to adoptive parenthood, their levels of parental reflective functioning during their adopted child's early childhood, and the children's reflective functioning in early adolescence (Mage = 12 years, SD = .58, range = 11–13; 17 boys, 11 girls). Findings showed that parents’ pre-adoptive reflective functioning was positively associated with parental reflective functioning in early childhood. Parental reflective functioning in early childhood, but not pre-adoptive reflective functioning, predicted child reflective functioning in early adolescence. Maternal reflective functioning mediated the association between pre-adoptive reflective functioning and child reflective functioning. Although the small sample size precludes drawing strong conclusions from this study, this study provides new evidence for the intergenerational transmission of reflective functioning even in the context of adoption. Implications for future research are discussed.","PeriodicalId":48026,"journal":{"name":"Infant Mental Health Journal","volume":"47 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13137762/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147822232","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}

This descriptive, exploratory study examined whether ECE providers' knowledge of child development, burnout, and organizational climate was associated with their attitudes and perceptions related to expulsion risk. A total of 309 ECE providers in one state in the Southeastern region of the United States taking part in a program evaluation completed an online survey prior to program implementation. Multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to assess associations among providers' knowledge of child development, burnout, organizational climate, and attitudes related to expulsion risk. Provider burnout was found to be significantly associated with providers' attitudes related to expulsion risk (β = .36, p < .001) despite relatively modest levels of burnout reported by this sample. Organizational climate was significantly associated only with the hopelessness subscale of the expulsion risk measure used (β = -.21, p = .034). Findings are somewhat consistent with prior research and have implications for the field regarding methods to address ECE provider burnout and organizational climate to mitigate expulsion risk and promote more inclusive ECE environments.","PeriodicalId":48026,"journal":{"name":"Infant Mental Health Journal","volume":"47 3","pages":"e70087"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13110512/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147785766","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}

Based on a sample of 71 parents and their young children receiving child protection or community services in Canada due to maltreatment or elevated risk for maltreatment, this study showed a moderate convergence between scores of the brief and full versions of the AMBIANCE, but the correspondence between the disrupted/non-disrupted classifications was weak. The AMBIANCE-Brief score was significantly associated with two subscales of the full version—affective communication errors and withdrawal. The AMBIANCE-Brief was significantly associated with child attachment. Parents of securely attached children exhibited the lowest levels of disrupted behaviors, while parents of disorganized children showed higher levels of disrupted behaviors than those of secure children. Also, the overall score and dimensions of the AMBIANCE full version were not significantly associated child attachment. Moreover, neither the brief nor the full version significantly correlated with parental sensitivity, suggesting these constructs may be distinct. These findings support the relevance of using the AMBIANCE-Brief with highly vulnerable and maltreating parents.","PeriodicalId":48026,"journal":{"name":"Infant Mental Health Journal","volume":"47 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13072083/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147677816","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}

The current study examined the impact of maternal perceived stress at multiple longitudinal time points during the first year of life on child psychopathology symptoms at 2 years. Participants in the current study (N = 211) were part of a longitudinal prospective cohort that was followed during early childhood. Maternal perceived stress was assessed using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) at 2, 6, 9, and 12 months. Child socioemotional characteristics were assessed at 2 years using the Infant-Toddler Social and Emotional Assessment (ITSEA). Structural equation models (SEMs) were used for statistical analyses. Higher maternal perceived stress at 9 months was associated with more general anxiety (internalizing), sensory sensitivity (dysregulation), and post-traumatic stress (dysregulation) symptoms. Higher maternal perceived stress at 12 months was associated with more separation distress (internalizing) and negative emotionality (dysregulation) symptoms. Maternal stress was not significantly associated with any symptoms within the externalizing domain. These findings suggest that the latter half of the first year of life (9 and 12 months) may be a sensitive period for stress exposures, and interventions reducing caregiver stress during this window may also improve socioemotional development transdiagnostically.","PeriodicalId":48026,"journal":{"name":"Infant Mental Health Journal","volume":"47 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147677765","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}
