What is Infant Mental Health (IMH)?
Infant mental health is reflected in appropriate cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. Recognizing the unique characteristics of each infant and family�the circumstances in which they live�we characterize good mental health for children (0-5 years) as:
- Secure Attachments
- Positive Relationships
- Confidence
- Curiosity
- Effective Communication
- Increasing Self-Regulation
- Social Competence
- Self-Awareness
- Expressions of Love and Happiness
Infant mental health changes and develops within the context of relationships between infants and caregivers, families, communities, and cultures.
