Article Synopsis
- Emotional availability (EA) refers to the emotional connection between parents and their unborn babies, assessed during pregnancy through caregiver sensitivity and nonhostility.
- A new intervention called the "EA-Based Dance Intervention" was developed to help pregnant individuals engage emotionally with their babies through dance and movement.
- In a pilot study, participants in the dance intervention reported lower anxiety and depressive symptoms, and higher prenatal EA compared to a control group that received no intervention.
