“…By spending more time in front of a TV, children are spending less time socialising with others. If they are spending less time in social environments, children may become more anxious and fearful of others because social withdrawal is associated with impairments in cognitive, language and social development, as well as with difficulties in communication (Milne, Greenway, Guedeney, & Larroque, 2009). Because the toddler and preschool years are highly sensitive periods of development, more time spent alone in front of a TV may affect how a child relates to others.…”

“…Prematurity is a major risk for social development as well as a model to understand early psychological development [5,10,13,16,20,[24][25][26][27]. There is an increasing awareness that assessing the level of an infant's social behaviour is important to detect and assess: while diminished social behaviour in the infant may not necessarily be an indicator of pathology, it should alert the clinician to undertake further assessment of both the infant and the environment [7,19,32].…”

The objectives of the study were (1) to assess prevalence of social withdrawal behaviour in infants aged 12 months included in the French Perinatal Risk Factor Study Eden; (2) To study the correlation between relational withdrawal and several perinatal and parental factors assessed in the EDEN study. A longitudinal study using the ADBB scale was conducted within the Eden Cohort in the year 2008. 1,586 infants were included in the study. Fourteen percent of the children who had an ADBB assessment had a score at 5 and over on the ADBB, a scale designed to assess social withdrawal behaviour at age 0-24 months. Social withdrawal at 12 months was associated with low birth weight, low gestational age and with intra uterine growth retardation. Social withdrawal was independently associated with several maternal and paternal risk factors. The level of social withdrawal behaviour increased with a score of maternal difficulties. This study on a large longitudinally followed volunteer sample demonstrate a clear association of social withdrawal behaviour at age one with low birth weight and preterm birth, possibly mediated by parental vulnerabilities. Social withdrawal behaviour seems to be an important alarm signal to detect early on particularly in premature and small for date babies.

“…The cerebral cortex can help apply a brake on more impulsive behaviour and may encourage the client to think about some of their less helpful reactions. Mentally unwell mothers with right hemisphere difficulties may be unable to apply these brakes (Milne et al, 2009). The orbito-frontal cortex and anterior frontal cortex seated just behind the eyes is involved when mothers become attuned to the needs and moods of their babies and older children, allowing them to respond appropriately.…”

Health visitors have always been faced with change and challenge to their role. This is partly a result of health visiting being underpinned by a set of 'soft' skills that are difficult to articulate. This article suggests that the relationship-building skills of health visitors can now be underpinned by evidence from developments in neuroscience. In this paper the neuroscience behind many of the core interventions that health visitors have always used are discussed and their relationship to managing emotions and stress are addressed. Neurohormones such as oxytocin, cortisol, and dopamine are described in the context of health visitor-mother relationships and how this can benefit babies. This paper explains simply, important brain structures and how health visitors can work with these.
