“…Mothers were asked whether they have steps they can take to manage stress, feel comfortable asking for help when needed, and know where to go for parenting information or with concerns about child development. The questions regarding maternal stress management and help seeking were derived from the Strengthening Families framework (Harper Browne, ) and community‐based work conducted by the Strengthening Families Alaska initiative and the Alaska Child Welfare Academy (Strengthening Families Alaska, ). Strengthening Families Alaska worked with parent groups to translate Strengthening Families concepts into language that resonates with Alaska parents.…”

This study used population‐representative data to examine associations of risk and protective factor patterns among Alaska Native/American Indian (AN/AI; N = 592) and non‐Native (N = 1,018) children with maternal and child outcomes at age 3 years. Among AN/AI children, a high risk/moderate protection class was associated with child developmental risk and mothers being less likely to feel comfortable asking for help or knowing where to go for parenting information compared to a low socioeconomic status/high protection class. Among non‐Native children, a moderate risk/high protection class was associated with child developmental risk and mothers being less likely to feel comfortable asking for help compared to a low risk/high protection class. Results provide insight on the intersection of risk and protective factors among Alaska families.

“…Prior research in child abuse prevention has demonstrated the importance of family strengths, attention to early foundational relationships (Bethell et al, 2016 ; Browne, 2014 ; Harper Browne, 2016 ), and the close association of child abuse with other aspects of violence in the home (Flaherty et al, 2010 ). Promoting PCEs can contribute to reductions in the incidence of child abuse and neglect by offering families practical information about family and child needs (Harper Browne, 2016 ). Our work promoted PCEs and knowledge of their value during COVID-19, using new outreach strategies specifically adapted to messaging during the pandemic.…”

“…In contrast to child care interventions targeting high-risk families, the Strengthening Families Initiative (SFI), developed by the Center for the Study of Social Policy, is an evidenceinformed prevention initiative designed to reach a wide range of children and families in child care programs (Harper Browne, 2014;Daro & Dodge, 2009). SFI operates from a strengthbased perspective, focusing on cultivating resiliency within the family with the goal of minimizing the effects of toxic stress on children's developing systems.…”

Infants and toddlers who experience physical abuse and/or neglect are at a severe risk for disruptions to emotion regulation. Recent prevention and treatment efforts have highlighted center-based child care as an important setting for providing support to the needs of these children, as child care centers are already an existing point of entry for reaching high-risk families. Guided by ecological theory, this review draws on the maltreatment and child care literatures to consider the opportunity for child care centers, specifically teacher-child interactions within the classroom, to support the unique regulatory needs of maltreated infants and toddlers. Existing research on the effects of child care for children facing other types of risk, as well as research with maltreated preschool children, provides a foundation for considering the role child care may play for infants and toddlers, whose emotion regulation skills are just emerging. More research is needed regarding teachers' roles in facilitating effective emotional experiences in the classroom that meet the unique needs of maltreated children. Additionally, early childhood teacher training that focuses on infant/toddler mental health and a traumainformed perspective of care, as well as structuring child care centers as communities of support for high risk families, all may aid child care centers in better serving this vulnerable population.
