Attachment in Practice

I have just watched this film with my nursery colleagues and it provoked much discussion about our current children, some of whom are finding it very difficult to settle in a new environment. The film shows the development of attachment behaviour of babies and very young children, using an easy, realistic style of filming. The children and parents are from real homes, with toys dotted around on the floor and real washing-up drying on the draining board! It is a particularly accessible film and clearly shows the pattern of attachment behaviour through snapshots of babies and children interacting with their primary care-givers.www.foundation-stage.info
