Examining Mothers’ Reflective Capacity and Their Approach to Parent–Child Play

Date Presented 03/26/20

Maternal supportive behavior and self-reflection are essential for healthy and sustained relationships with a child. It is imperative for OTs to be able to identify differences in how mothers support their children in joint play, as well as how they perceive these experiences. This study describes three case studies that illustrate differences and a possible relationship between how mothers support their children during joint play and each mother’s reflective capacity.
