Upcoming Training Event: Newborn Behavioral Observation (NBO)
UW Milwaukee Child Welfare Partnership with UW-Madison Department of Psychiatry
Newborn Behavioral Observation (NBO)
The NBO, developed by Brazelton, is a structured set of observations designed to help the practitioner and parent together, to observe the infant's behavioral capacities and identify the kind of support the infant needs for his/her successful growth and development. It is a relationship-based tool designed to foster the parent-infant relationship. It describes the infant's capacities and provides parents with individualized information about their infant's behavior, so that they can appreciate their baby's unique competencies and vulnerabilities and thereby understand and respond to their baby, in a way that meets her/his developmental needs.
