Newborns turn to human voices, faces and eyes, allowing infants to learn about people and from people. People are contagious. Our early relationships with parents or other primary caregivers shape how we learn to cope and become competent. Responsive and sensitive nurturing sets the foundation for optimal development.

Establishing&nbsp;<strong>boundaries <\/strong>refers to the ability of parents to set and maintain limits that structure a child&#8217;s environment. Baumrind proposed that high and low levels of these two dimensions combine to describe four broad parenting styles. Each of these styles influences the overall development of children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>[This INTERACT is not available in preview]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"436\" height=\"65\" src=\"https:\/\/content.scienceofecd.com\/secd-preview\/files\/2026\/08\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6828\" srcset=\"https:\/\/content.scienceofecd.com\/secd-preview\/files\/2026\/08\/image-1.png 436w, https:\/\/content.scienceofecd.com\/secd-preview\/files\/2026\/08\/image-1-300x45.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 436px) 100vw, 436px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have you seen parents that characterize any of these styles? Do you think these styles apply to people who work with young children (not just parents)? What kind of caregiver are you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the next video, Dr. Jean Clinton, clinical professor of Psychiatry and Behavioural Neuroscience at McMaster University, discusses how different parenting styles impact children, specifically brain development.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"lazyblock-watch-expand-transcript-FNnXt wp-block-lazyblock-watch-expand-transcript\"><div class=\"watch-expand expand-container context-container\">\n   <div class=\"watch tap-to-expand tap-container\">\n      <div class=\"tap-icon\"><\/div>\n      <div class=\"tap-content\">\n         <span class=\"tap-label\">VIEW<\/span>\n         <span class=\"tap-description\">Clinton &#8211; parenting styles and brain development (2:42) [not available in preview]<\/span>\n        \n      <\/div>\n   <\/div>\n   <div class=\"output-content collapse\" style=\"height: 0px;\">\n      <div class=\"vimeo-container\">\n         <iframe webkitallowfullscreen=\"\" mozallowfullscreen=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n      <\/div><br>\n      <p><a href=\"\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/p>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"lazyblock-key-full-1XuUPo wp-block-lazyblock-key-full\"><div class=\"key-full\">\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is important to keep several points in mind when considering these broad parenting styles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Parents may not fall neatly into one parenting style, however, most parents tend to demonstrate one style more than another.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In families with two parents, each parent may demonstrate a different parenting style and they may or may not cooperate on an approach to parenting their children.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Many of the studies in this area of research focused on white, middle class families and did not consider the influence of factors such as different ethnic\/cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Attunement and attachment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Attunement<\/strong> describes <strong>how parents and other caregivers react<\/strong> to an infant&#8217;s signals. Well-attuned caregivers detect what their babies are feeling and reflect those emotions back in their facial expressions, voices and other behaviour. They read a baby&#8217;s signals and then respond to those signals. Think back to the first clip of the mother soothing her baby and how she reflected in her face and voice her baby&#8217;s emotions when her baby was becoming upset and then comforting her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Attachment <\/strong>refers to the intimate emotional bonds <strong>infants develop<\/strong> with their parents and other primary caregivers. Individual interactions build attachment relationships. Secure attachment relationships between young children and their parents and caregivers are fundamental to helping children learn to cope. These secure attachment relationship help children cope with stress and regulate their emotions, behaviour and attention. Again, in the first clip, consider how the sensitive and responsive care the mother provided is helping her baby to feel safe and secure as well as support her early regulatory systems. The next video is an overview of attachment and stresses paying attention to the subtle signals of babies. As you view the video, notice how infants engage with their caregivers by using vocalizations, gestures, facial expressions and body movements. Brief exchanges gradually develop into longer chains of communication between the infant and caregiver. These verbal and non-verbal communications contribute to attuned interactions and attachment relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"lazyblock-watch-expand-thumbnail-Z1lAst8 wp-block-lazyblock-watch-expand-thumbnail\"><div class=\"watch-expand expand-container context-container\">\n   <div class=\"watch tap-to-expand tap-container\">\n      <div class=\"tap-icon\"><\/div>\n      <div class=\"video-thumbnail\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/content.scienceofecd.com\/secd-intro\/files\/2022\/07\/90184136.jpg\"><\/div>\n      <div class=\"tap-content\">\n         <span class=\"tap-label\">VIEW<\/span><span class=\"tap-description\">Listening to baby (17:06)<\/span>      \n         \n      <\/div>\n   <\/div>\n   <div class=\"output-content collapse\" style=\"height: auto;\">\n      <div class=\"vimeo-container\"><iframe frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"\" mozallowfullscreen=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/90184136?api=1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"lazyblock-reflect-1fFNmX wp-block-lazyblock-reflect\"><div class=\"reflect\">\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What examples of parent attunement (i.e., reading and responding to their babies&#8217; signals) did you see? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What about examples of babies reading and responding to their parents?<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Challenge yourself and see how many key messages from the video you recall.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"lazyblock-interact-Z1vWyIA wp-block-lazyblock-interact\"><div class=\"interact-link context-container\">\n  <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/hscsr.rrc.ca\/secd\/interactions\/ticTacSquares-CC2-2\/ticTacSquares-CC2-2.html\" class=\"tap-container interact\">\n    <div class=\"tap-icon\"><\/div>\n    <div class=\"tap-content\">\n      <span class=\"tap-label\">INTERACT<\/span>\n      <span class=\"tap-description\">Tic tac squares<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/a>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The booklet below was developed for First Nations and Metis parents and caregivers in Manitoba.
