Supporting Families with Young Children who Have Sleep, Feeding, or Fussiness Difficulties; Introduction to the FAN as an Engagement Approach

Description

Some babies have persistent fussiness, sleep, or feeding issues which can dramatically impact the caregiver and family experiences. This workshop will overview the Fussy Baby FAN approach to supporting families. By being able to understand if a family is in a feeling state, a thinking state, or a doing state, service coordinators and providers can more easily match with the family's needs. The end result is families experience more well-matched support and are better able to address their child's needs. Once the parent and provider/service coordinator are on the same page the can focus on care-giving strategies with their infant and focus on support in meaningful ways.
