Listening In: A Model for Making Every Contact with Babies and Caregivers Count

  • New York Zero-to-Three Network Via Zoom (map)

Presented by: Claudia M. Gold, MD 

In this presentation, contemporary developmental science research will be integrated with clinical

stories to reveal the power of Listening In: listening from a not-knowing stance with a

suspension of expectations and a willingness to be surprised. The meeting of caregiver and

newborn represents the prototype of two people, each with their own unique self, getting to know

each other. Offering a practical model for a wide variety of professional settings, Listening

In applies in a parallel process to parent-infant, clinician-parent, and teacher-student

relationships. We will address core early relational health principles that inform the model

of Listening In, including the repair theory of human development, parental reflective

functioning, and the healing power of safety.
