What if one of the most powerful influences on a baby's lifelong health isn't a treatment or a test — but a caregiver’s nurturing touch?Lisa Berlin, PhD, MS, the Alison L. Richman Professor of Children and Families at the University of Maryland School of Social Work, shares groundbreaking research on how early parent-child attachment impacts emotional, cognitive, and physical development.In this video, Berlin discusses her federally-supported study on the Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-Up (ABC) program — a brief, home-based parenting intervention where trained coaches guide caregivers through science-backed strategies to foster strong, healthy bonds with their babies. Funding is made possible from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, which is part of the National Institutes of Health.🧪 Breakthroughs Can’t Wait: UMB research drives innovation, improves lives, and tackles global challenges.
