Attachment and bonding are central to human development, shaping how we relate to ourselves and others throughout life. For children and young people in care, secure attachment is especially critical to their sense of safety, trust, and wellbeing. By understanding both children’s and our own attachment styles, carers can strengthen relationships and provide the secure base children need to feel protected and confident.
In this course, you will explore:
- The different types of attachment styles that form from infancy
- Key characteristics of each attachment style in children, young people, parents, and caregivers
- How attachment styles influence behaviour and relationships across the lifespan
- Case scenarios that illustrate attachment styles in practice
