Mother-Baby Interaction And Child's Theory: Case Study

The central theme of attachment theory is that mothers who are available and responsive to their infant 's needs establish a sense of security in their children. The infant knows that the caregiver is dependable, which creates a secure base for the child to then explore the world. Bowlby was very much influenced by ethological theory in general, but especially by Lorenz’s (1935) study of imprinting. Lorenz showed that attachment was innate (in young ducklings) and therefore has a survival value. Bowlby believed that attachment behaviors are instinctive and will be activated by any conditions that

The main idea is to make the other person feel comfortable in our company and not be anxious or scared to approach us. This is only possible through good use of communication in our day to day life. This would mean not only answering the questions clearly and correctly but also approaching anyone in a calm and friendly manner if the need arises. We can only ask the children to communicate in a particular way if we are following effective communication ourselves and be a good role model to them.

The Early Years Frame work acts as a guideline for Key Workers to follow which also acts as a theorist. However research carried out by Morris et al 2010 have shown that children find this transition relatively easy and manageable to adapt to a new environment, class room and teacher. The foundation Phase is also another guideline in which staff should follow to enable children settle in. By following this as a guideline and also having the welsh assembly governments support will offer both teachers and child/children a positive relationship and trust also the best outcomes.

Adler was strategic in how she approached the sessions with the two girls. She used mirroring/empathic reflection to establish the therapeutic relationship. Mirroring is a technique commonly used in DMT to build rapport and trust with clients (Scharoun et al., 2014). It is a way to connect with clients through using their movements. In the start of the session, the children engaged in repetitive and self-stimulating behaviors.

The caregiver plays a major role in the treatment. Her first step is to work with their adult caregivers whether they are foster, foster to adopt, or biological parents and educate them about the disorder and how it develops and this particular treatment process in order to get their agreement to do this type of work. Sometimes parents get so involved in there children that they forget to take care of themselves. So the parent is strongly encouraged and educated to take care of him or herself, including taking care of their own emotional well being, relieving stress, and establishing a support system. The social worker then instructs the parent on a number of techniques that include: helping the child establishing respect and trust, creating a strong emotional, nurturing bond (with that child), and teaching the child self control, as well as helping the parents learn how to help the child put words to his or her feelings.

The career I chose to research is a Child Care Center Administrator. A Child Care Center Administrator is known to be in charge of toddler-aged programs or daycares who share the academic or non-academic requirements. He/she has to be able to love children and be able to work with them while also being able to take care of the business side of the Child Care Program. Some duties that the administrator may hold is monitoring a child’s progress of intellectual and emotional development and assist anyone who has a concern with the program or building.

In the normal development of every individual, the need to form secure attachments with their parents is present. Developmental theorists have even categorized attachment as a basic need of every human being, (Shaffer & Kipp, 2010). Secure attachments take place when the physical and emotional needs of the child are constantly provided, particularly during the first two years of life. Healthy attachments will make children internalize their parents as figures of trust; this in turn will make them perceive their parents with an image of security, stability, and dependence. Healthy parent-child attachment is necessary to allow the child to develop interdependence and learn to engage in reciprocally pleasurable interactions.

Through factors such as cognitive development of the infant, attentive care and intimate interactions with a primary caregiver, the attachment relationship is created – shaping the infants- caregiver bond. By examining the interactions between an infant and their primary caregiver, we can identify secure, insecure and disorganized attachment (Ainsworth, 1978; Cassidy 1994); which can reveal a great deal about the relationship between the infant and attachment figure. Overall, the quality of attachment bonds formed in the early years can have long lasting effects on an infant’s emotional security and social competence; not only shaping their ability to form relationships, but laying the foundations for the social, emotional and mental development of the

Children’s culture should be valued at such a level that the children and their families feel welcomed and belonged to the service at all time. For example, sharing a small and quick conversation with parents if they have any cultural or customs celebrations coming up or may be discussing it in a group conservation with children. This is will help children build their confidence and self-esteem for who there are and parents will feel accepted and secure that their children are at the right place. This will help the children to understand their friends and respect their values and culture and to have that understanding of the difference and diversity. In future children will have mutual respect and acceptance for all the different cultures they come

EFFECTS OF PARENTS AND TEACHERS INTRACTION ON DELOPMENT OF EARLY CHILDHOOD STUDENTS IN MIANWALI 1.1 Introduction: The importance of good parent-teacher relationships has been well documented. Research has shown that parent involvement in education benefits not only the child but also the parents and teachers (Eldridge, 2001). The function of a good parent-teacher relationship is much more than just like a vehicle for status reports from teacher to parents on a child’s performance.

What are the weaknesses of this assessment tool? It is critical that observations be free of bias and objective, a skill that needs to be developed and can be a challenge for some teachers. • How do you use the results of the assessment? Repetition and multiple opportunities for learning are important for all children, so offering different activities for learning concepts and skills benefit all children, there is no negative impact when providing activities that support skills repeatedly.

In our lives there are many factors from our past that shape who we are today. Concerted cultivation is a style of parenting that allows for the parent to schedule activities that will keep the children occupied during their free time. The idea of concerted cultivation is made clear by Annette Lareau the author of the book entitled Unequal Childhoods: Class, Race, and Family Life. She states that parents who organize their children 's lives through concerted cultivation believe that their child will obtain certain knowledge and skills that will help them and set them apart academically and socially. (Lareau, 2011)

I thought the meetings would be awkward for me, as I didn’t get along with strangers too often. However, this experience has taught me to give everyone a chance and for that, I am truly thankful. Then again, I thought that LA 111 would be able to help me adjust to that problem of mine and it did eventually. Participating in the class helped me later articulate what I had learned to my member where or when it was necessary. I realize now that it had been my fear of being alone in this that had kept me from joining programs like this.

When attachment is formed with a loving caregiver or parent who is able to provide support, love, and guidance along with the basic human needs, attachment can be reinforced and healthy (VBH). Educating children and parents-to-be of consequences of ineffective parenting might reduce the incidence of RAD in children (Lehman & Jegtvig, 2004). Children with RAD are not completely lost with their ability to form attachments, those who have been diagnosed and seek treatment early with hopeful learn to be able to recognize and manage their behaviors and feeling as well as creating healthy relationship in their future. It is important to first get the child in a safe house with caregivers who genuinely care about them and are willing to work on developing positive interactions with the child. By using treatment methods like dyadic developmental therapy, integrative play therapy, and parent skills training are all credible techniques to help build trust and attachment.

Hi Stasea, I enjoyed your thoughtful post. You provided beneficial information about play therapy. An important part of parent-child interaction therapy (PICT) is that the parents and child interact with the counselor coaching the parents from another room (Henderson & Thompson, 2011). Another important technique associated with PCIT is that the counselor gives the parents lessons and role plays with them to provide them with important strategies to use (Henderson & Thompson, 2011). As a parent of a 6-year-old girl that was divorcing, it would be hard to work with the other parent.
