​

Through collaborative discussion using emotions to explore the network of relationships surrounding the applicant/endorsee and his/her clients, the RSC Provider integrates knowledge about an infant or young child's development with an understanding of the parent's or caregiver's needs. This often leads to professional and personal development within one's discipline by attending to the emotional content of the work and how reactions to that content can affect the work.

​

​

Primary objectives of RSC include:

• Forming a trusting relationship between supervisor and practitioner

• Establishment of consistent/predictable meetings and times

• A focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) to deepen commitment to these values

• Engaging in discussion about an infant, parent/caregiver, and emerging relationships and be held in a safe, confidential space

• Exploration of the parallel process

• Opportunities for personal reflection

• Holding the baby/child in mind
