In this paper, starting from the concept of triadic relationship and shared parenting, attention is drawn to the use of the observational procedure TIAP (Triadic Interaction Analytical Procedure) to analyze the relational dynamics between mothers, children and caregivers in an educational community. Specifically, the study analyzed the interactions of a specific mother-child-caregiver triad. The results allowed for a detailed analysis of the co-construction of relational dynamics, recognizing the active role of all the members and highlighting potential resources or critical issues that can be subsequently discussed as key elements in structuring parenting support intervention.

Keywords: TIAP (Triadic Interaction Analytical Procedure), parenting, triadic relationship, mother-child educational community, family resources
