    A reminder of the task details:

    Sub standard 2.3 reads as follows:

    ‘Know and understand attachment theories, their significance and how effectively to promote secure attachments.’

    Amplification:

    ‘Know that all children need consistent relationships in order to be secure, happy and confident. Early Years Teachers recognise the relevance of attachment theory and its significance for babies and young children, particularly when separated from their primary carer for the first time. They support and work together with parents/carers through a key person approach to plan provision that ensures each child feels emotionally secure.’

    Task:

    Research Attachment theories and their associated behavioural categories. Choose one of the children you are tracking and assess, in terms of ‘best fit’, which of the behavioural categories applies to them. In no more than 1,500 words, discuss how you know your subject falls into that category, the implications for your own practice (including practical examples) and the impact this had on the child’s outcomes.

    Consider:

    • Understanding of theories and links to child behaviour
    • Good links to practice
    • Adequate tracking of child
    • Impact on child
    • Parent dialogue
    • Implications for future practice

    Submission date: 5.00pm 12th February 2021 to NON ALLOCATED Lead Consultant

    Good morning,

    Am I correct in saying that the behavioural categories of attachment theory is securely attached, anxious ambivalent , anxious avoidant and anxious disorganized?

    Possible outline for attachment task

    Explain your knowledge and understanding of Attachment Theory – who are they key theorists?
    How does Attachment Theory relate to the EYFS?
    Identify the attachment categories and explain patterns of behaviours associated
    Identify a child and explain how you thin that child is in ‘best fit category’
    Explain the strategies you have put in place to support this child (be explicit)
    Outline the impact the strategies have had for the child (?parent ?yourself ?Your colleagues)
    Reflect on your learning – any impact on your future practice?

    Good luck!

    If you want to have a really clear example of the categories in terms of children’s behaviours, look again at the youtube clips for ‘The strange situation'(Ainsworth)

    Good morning, I just had a question about the layout of this assignment. Am I able to use bullet points and a table within this assignment or should I do a standard essay layout?

    Do we have a particular format to follow in terms of referencing?
