Implementation of principles of infant mental health across disciplines

As well-received as these principles are in early intervention, many providers struggle with how to implement them in their daily practices with parents and young children.  They wonder how to use these concepts without risking overstepping the boundaries of their own discipline.  They struggle with the fear of trying to offer their psychological insights when unsolicited, and with the pressure they feel from others for them to become providers of mental health services without adequate training and supervision.  The ideal solution is in finding a way to be informed by principles of infant mental health without actually intervening as a mental health provider.
