This informative and accessible text invites readers to engage with the latest developments and debates in the field of infant and family mental health and wellbeing from a multi-disciplinary perspective.

Bringing together a rich collection of knowledge and experience, unique insights are provided into aspects of family life, from attachment, attunement and bonding to therapeutic interventions and compassion. Each chapter shines a light on the importance of respectful early interventions and provides ethical and evidence-based strategies to promote healthy development and to empower parents and caregivers to support their child's (and their own) emotional and psychological needs. Spotlights on research and practice, reflective questions and case studies weave throughout to further consolidate knowledge and to bring theory to life.

Critically reflecting on current policy and practice, this book advocates for an inclusive approach and underscores the significance of early experiences in shaping a child's mental health and overall development. It will be key reading for early childhood students, educators, healthcare professionals, and anyone interested in supporting families during the crucial early years.
