Summary

Brief Summary:

This study aims to quantitatively examine the relationship between regulatory problems (sleep, feeding, and crying) in infants aged 6-36 months and levels of parental sensitivity and reflective functioning. The primary objective is to determine how parents' ability to perceive and interpret their child's cues affects these regulatory difficulties; the secondary objective is to explore how emotional responses to crying and other parent-child interaction factors mediate that relationship. In a cohort of approximately 249 infant-parent dyads, the Revised-Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire (BISQ-R), feeding and crying assessment forms, the Parental Reflective Functioning Questionnaire, the My Emotions Questionnaire, and the Parental Stress Scale will be administered. Data will be analyzed via descriptive statistics, correlation analyses, and multiple regression models. As the first large-scale quantitative study in Turkey to investigate this area, it will yield unique data to guide parenting programs and early-intervention policies.
