- Behavioral Modeling: Demonstrating positive behaviors for parents to replicate with their neonate. - Cognitive Restructuring: Helping parents reframe negative thoughts and expectations to reduce anxiety and stress. - Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction: Teaching parents mindfulness techniques to improve their emotional well-being and ability to care for their neonate.
