Resources: Attachment in children and young people [UPDATED]: Frontline Briefing (2016)
Much evidence suggests that attachment relationships with a parent or carer are the foundation for a child’s experience of the world. This second edition briefing highlights emerging evidence on understanding and building attachment relationships pre-birth. It provides a fundamental grounding in attachment theory and different attachment behaviours, with a focus on identifying signs of parent-child interactions that may need further assessment.
It will build understanding of attachment and the appropriate application of the theory in direct work with children, young people and families.
