The development of parenting: nursing resources.
Successful parenting has a major impact on the emotional well-being and cognitive development of young children. Infants gain their sense of self at an early age through their interactions with their caregivers. Nurses can play a unique role in helping parents and caregivers learn about their infant's abilities and behavior and in providing interventions to foster positive parent-infant interactions. Several resources are presented that the professional can use to help parents learn about their newborn's individual communication patterns and needs.
