ABC Parent Coaching for Infants and Toddlers

Attachment and Behavioral Catch-up (ABC): For infants and toddlers

ABC is a 10-session home visiting program for infants age 6-24 months, and toddlers age 24-48 months, and their attachment figures. ABC targets attachment in infancy and early childhood for those families who have had stressful early life experiences.

ABC includes three primary components: 

    • Helps parents provide nurturing care when infants and young children are distressed. 
    • Helps parents respond to and delight in their infants and children.
    • Provides parents with strategies for calming their infants and young children, using tools that develop greater behavioral, emotional, and physiological control

This 10-session program is conducted weekly in families’ homes. The sessions last approximately 60 minutes and are scheduled at times when infants and children are at home and can participate in the sessions. Other individuals in the home (e.g., other caregivers, partners, siblings) are welcome to join in the sessions. Sessions are video recorded, both for playback to families, and for supervision.
