Raising a Secure Child—The Child-Parent Relationship

SEE EVENT DETAILS
In this training, two internationally known experts in child development and the child-parent relationship will draw on their decades of research, clinical practice, and parent counseling to present the scientific basis for raising secure children. They will describe how to use insightfulness to reconcile child and parent emotional needs and discuss how raising emotionally healthy children calls for understanding the individual and developmental characteristics of the child while giving caregivers the space they need to fulfill their own needs.
Dr. Alicia Lieberman will use the toddlerhood years to illustrate young children’s striving to find a balance between their longing for love and approval and their impulse to assert their wish for independence. She will describe the treatments she developed to help parents understand the connections between their childhood experiences and their parenting struggles and discover rewarding ways of interacting with their children.
Dr. David Oppenheim will highlight how parents foster their children’s emotional health by taking into consideration their inner world and the motives underlying the child’s actions and feelings. Examples from research with normative and at-risk samples will be used to illustrate insightful parenting that promotes child security and self-understanding as well as the barriers parents face in this process. He will also focus on how insightfulness can be fostered to help parents of children with neurodevelopmental challenges.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this training participants will be able to:

Describe the basic intentions of toddlerhood
Explain at least two principles of Child Parent Psychotherapy
Define Insightfulness in the context of the research and work presented

Dr. Oppenheim’s research focuses on the central importance of attachment relationships for children’s social and emotional development. In particular, his research has examined the role of parental Insightfulness and parent-child open communication in the organization of attachment relationships throughout childhood.  Dr. Oppenheim’s studies on these questions involved longitudinal studies, and included typically developing children, children at high risk such as those in foster care and those whose parents experienced trauma, and children with atypical development such as Autism and Mental Retardation.
