Abstract
Abstract Using longitudinal data, a subsample of 37 high-risk children whose mothers were observed to be intrusive in their interactions with their 6-month-old infants in feeding and play situations were compared to 145 children from the same environmental risk sample. The children of mothers judged to be intrusive were doing poorly academically, socially, emotionally, and behaviorally in first and second grades. The findings were robust even after covarying out the effects of a maternal social/affective interaction factor, IQ, and stressful life events experienced by the family. The relation between an intrusive style of caretaking in infancy and child maladaptation in the early school years is viewed as support for a mutual regulation model of social engagement.

Ass assessments of attachment relationships in high-risk mother-infant pairs were conducted at 12 and 18 months and changes from secure to anxious attachments were characterized by initially adequate caretaking skills but prolonged interaction with an aggressive and suspicious mother.

The data indicate that infants have a specific, appropriate, negative reaction to simulated depression in their mothers and suggest that the infant has communicative intent in its interactions.

In a sample of 50 clinic children, it was found that marital discord was most strongly related to conduct problems in boys, boys and girls perceived parental marital discord with equal and moderate accuracy, and children's feelings of nonacceptance were not significantly related to ratings of marital discord.

The absence of interaction differences between the postmature and premature suggested that separation contributed less to later interaction disturbances than did early deficits tapped by the Brazelton Neonatal Scale.

It is hypothesized that with support, resourceful parents can from the beginning understand the distorted signals their infant displays as part of his grappling to realize normal developmental goals, preventing the commonly observed stereotypic rigidities and restrictions of blind infants and leads to a mutually energizing process of rich and modulated development for infant and parent.

The case study of a sighted infant of two blind parents highlights the complexity of the infant-adult interaction and brings out the fact that the human infant shows great adaptability to communication in the absence of a communicative channel as important as the parents' eyes.
