The present article, using Winnicott's theory as a background, which elucidates the importance of the environment and of social relations to constitute a healthy human being, intends to present an intervention proposal with parents of a newborn deficient baby. It is by pointing at reality two by two that one sees in the eyes of the other his own eyes. In spite of this, the first caregiver, instructed with information and orientations, will be able to offer conditions for this deficient baby to develop himself completely. It is by respecting the spontaneous and original initiatives of the baby, his own way of expressing himself, and by being contingent in return, that this child will be able to acknowledge a sense of acceptance and comprehension of his own expressions, positioning him adequately into the environment.
