“…In addition to time spent with parents, there are a number of other important factors which in uence children's health and development, including their other caregivers, attachment relationships, the setting of expectations and limits, and being in a structured and stimulating environment (Ainsworth, Bell & Stayton, 1974;Ainsworth, Blehar, Waters & Wall, 1978;Astone & McLanahan 1991;Baumrind, 1989Baumrind, , 1991aCassidy, 1986Cassidy, , 1988Chase-Lansdale & Owen, 1987;Committee for Economic Development, 1993;Crane, 1996;Emde, 1991;Field, Vega-Lahr, Sca di & Goldstein, 1986;Freitag, Belsky, Grossmann, Grossmann & Scheuerer-Englisch, 1996;Galinsky & Friedman, 1993;Greenberg & Speltz, 1988;Learner & Kruger, 1997;Lyons-Ruth, Connell & Zoll, 1989;Madigan 1994;Rothbaum, Rosen, Pott & Beatty, 1995;Rush, 1999;Singh et al 1995;Smetana & Kelly, 1989;Sorce & Emde, 1981;Sroufe, 1983;Sroufe & Fleeson, 1986). Parents who are at work during children's afterschool hours may have few options when they look for alternative care for their children (Child Care Bureau, 1997;Langford, 1999;Seppanen et al, 1993;US Department of the Treasury, 1996;US General Accounting Of ce, 1998).…”

Non-weekday work schedules are on the rise in the USA. Among non-standard shifts, the evening shift is the most common. Low-income parents are more likely to be required to work non-standard schedules. However, little work has been done to examine the effect of parental evening work on school-age children. Data collected in the USA in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) was used to examine the effect of parental evening work on the home environment for 1133 school children, aged 5-10 years. The Home Observation Measurement of the Environment (HOME) score used in this study has been shown to predict children's school, developmental and health outcomes. Having at least one parent work in the evening had a signi cantly negative effect on the home environment both for families living in poverty and those who were not living in poverty. The effect size, an 11% decrease in HOME scores when mothers worked evenings and an 8% decrease in HOME scores when fathers worked evenings, was of the same order of magnitude as living in poverty. As the USA and other countries have increasingly functioned as 24-hour economies, the demand for evening work has increased. Without changes in public or industrial policies, many parents have no choice but to work evenings, whether or not quality substitute care is available for their children, and whether or not they believe that the bene ts of evening work outweigh the costs. While policies that provide parents with a way to see their children after school are important for all families, they are particularly important for working parents living in poverty and their children. Parents living in poverty often have the least choice about working conditions and the least resources available for nding quality substitute care when their work keeps them away from their children in the evenings. KEY WORDS Parental working conditions; evening work; school-age children; home environment RESUMEN Horarios no tradicionales está n creciendo en los Estados Unidos. De los horarios no tradicionales, el turno de noche es el más comú n. Los padres de bajo ingreso tienen la probabilidad mas alta de trabajar turnos no tradicionales. Sin embargo, hay pocas investigaciones que analizan las consecuencias de trabajo nocturno para los hijos de edad escolar. Se usan datos recopilados en los Estados Unidos en el 'National Longitudinal Survey of Youth'(NLSY) para examinar el efecto de trabajo nocturno de los padres en el ambiente del hogar para 1133 ninos de edades 5 anos a 10 anos. La medida de Observación del Ambiente del , que se usa en este estudio, ha sido efectivo en pronosticar el nivel de desarrollo de los ninos en sus actividades escolares y en su salud. Tener un padre con el turno de noche tiene un efecto negativo y signi cativo en el ambiente del hogar para las familias que son pobres y para las familias que no son pobres. La magnitud del efecto, un descenso de 11% en la medida de HOME cuando la madre trabaja el turno de noche y un descenso de 8% en la medida de HOME cuando el padre trabaja el...

“…Understanding that all mental health interventions involve the influence of relationships on other relationships points to the vital importance of a third set of dimensions, namely systems sensitivity (Emde, 1980(Emde, , 1987(Emde, , 1991. Those engaged in RS have emphasized that a central aspect includes appreciating "parallel processing," a concept that refers to the reverberations of relationship experiences, including conflicts, throughout any network of program relationships (Weatherston, 2007).…”

Reflective supervision (RS) has not been a tradition in most early child development settings. The infant mental health consultant, in successfully implementing RS, helps to articulate and affirm some basic values necessary for a community of reflective practice. These emphasize (a) participating in an environment of continuous learning and improvement and (b) engaging in an ongoing commitment to professionalism. Sets of dimensions of RS, therefore, include sharing and learning, emotional support and dealing with vulnerability, and systems sensitivity. Issues for RS training involve using yourself as a tool and learning about the science of being with others.

“…The science of early childhood development tells us that early relationships and attachments to a primary caregiver are the most consistent and enduring influence on social and emotional development for young children, and that early relationships form the basis for all later relationships ͑Bowlby, 1988; Emde, 1991;Shonkoff & Phillips, 2000͒. Young children are generally more vulnerable than older children to experiences beyond their control and, therefore, cannot self-regulate their behaviors and emotions to the same degree as older children ͑Osofsky, 2004͒.…”

The focus of this paper is on the development and evaluation of an intervention model for Florida's Infant and Young Child Mental Health Pilot Program, designed to identify families with children at risk for abuse and neglect, and to provide clinical evaluation and treatment services. The evaluation model, intervention strategies, and results presented in this paper are all part of the Florida pilot project developed as a response to the recommendations of the state's Strategic Plan for Infant Mental Health. Funded by the Florida legislature, the 3-year, multisite pilot was designed to provide earlier identification, better evaluation, and more effective treatment services for high-risk children under the age of three. The target population was children either at risk for out-of-home placement due to abuse and neglect, or those already in the child welfare system or adjudicated dependent by the state. The goals of the pilot project were: 1͒ to reduce the occurrence and re-occurrence of abuse and neglect; 2͒ to enhance the child's developmental functioning; 3͒ to improve the parent-child relationship; 4͒ to increase expeditious permanency placements; 5͒ to develop a model for intervention and treatment that could potentially be replicated in different sites; and 6͒ to document the components of a quality infant mental health intervention model and evaluate its effectiveness.RESUMEN: Este estudio se enfoca en el desarrollo y evaluación de un modelo de intervención para el Programa Piloto de La Florida para la Salud Mental de Infantes y Niños Pequeños, el cual está diseñado para identificar a niños bajo riesgo de abuso y falta de atención, así como a sus familias, y proveerles evaluación clínica y servicios de tratamiento. El modelo de evaluación, las estrategias de intervención y 259los resultados presentados en este estudio son parte del projecto piloto de La Florida, establecido como respuesta a las recomendaciones del Plan Estratégico del Estado para la Salud Mental Infantil. Financiado por la Asamblea Legislativa de La Florida, el programa piloto de tres años que se lleva a cabo en varios lugares fue diseñado para proveer una pronta identificación, una mejor evaluación, así como servicios de tratamiento más efectivos para niños de alto riesgo menores de tres años. La población a la cual se dirige este programa es la de niños que están ya bajo riesgo, o ya colocados en casas que no son sus propios hogares debido al abuso y la falta de atención, o que ya están bajo el sistema de beneficencia social o como dependiente adjudicado por el Estado. Las metas del programa piloto son: 1͒ reducir la posibilidad de que ocurra o vuelva a ocurrir el abuso o la falta de atención; 2͒ expandir el funcionamiento del desarrollo del niño; 3͒ mejorar la relación entre el niño y su͑s͒ progenitor͑es͒; 4͒ aumentar las colocaciones de permanencia expeditas; 5͒ desarrollar un modelo para la intervención y el tratamiento que pueda replicarse potencialmente en diferentes lugares; y 6͒ documentar los componentes de un modelo de...
