[despinaarsalides]

Good morning,

I was wondering if anybody knew a good place to get articles from, as I am finding lots of blogs.

HI Despina

The following text books that you have in your book bag could be used to support this task
Developmental Psychology and Early Childhood Education (D. Whitebread)

Early Childhood and Neuroscience, Theory , Research and implications for practice (M. Conkbayir)

[sarahsaunders]

Developmental Psychology and Early Childhood Education (D. Whitebread) – I didn’t get this one in my book bag?

[NIckyb]

OK Sarah I’ll check this out – I have a spare copy that I can bring with me when I come to visit you hopefully next Tuesday

Nicky

[Jmace]

I don’t think I got this book either

[NIckyb]

Sorry my mistake ladies – it is one of my favourite books but it’s not in your book bag – I recommend it though!
Nicky

[despinaarsalides]

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

[Jmace]

Despina, this is what I’m going with
Jess

[NIckyb]

HI Despina and Jess – yes those are the attachment categories!
Nicky

[despinaarsalides]

Great, thank you.

[NIckyb]

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!
Nicky

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?

Despina

[isabellalor]

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

[NIckyb]

HI Despina and Isabellor

A standard essay layout would be preferable but you could use the bullet points as a guide / sub headings

No preferred way of referencing – whatever you are more comfortable with , but please include a reference list at the end
