Why Parent Matters
The article “Why a Baby’s Connection with a Parent Matters” by PERRI KLASS, M.D published June 26, 2017 is about the emotional connection that develops between a baby and a parent or caregiver. Klass Explains that why the attached bond with a parent or a caregiver is essential in a baby’s early years. Going into more detail about the article gives you the outcomes & effects about having or not having secure bond with a child.
There are two main points of this article, the first point of the article is to make parents aware of the importance of a secure bond, “What attachment provides is a secure base for a child to move away from and explore the world,” Dr. Berger said, “and a haven of safety to move back to when the world is too stressful.” …show more content…
The articles state the behavior, feelings, and thought process that goes through a child’s head if they have a secure or insecure bond, for example “With a child who has the general sense that the parent is likely to be responsive, is going to ask for attention when the parent comes back in. The child may be upset, but calms down quickly, comforted by the parent, and thereby demonstrates what is called secure attachment”, how this relates to the perspective of Functionalism is simple, this explains a child’s behavior who has a secure attachment. Then on the other hand it explains how a child who doesn’t have a secure bond acts, for instance “while a third group of children, difficult to calm, sometimes aggressively demanding comfort, sometimes angrily pushing the parent away, have been called insecure-resistant”, this exemplifies the feelings and actions of a child who does not have an emotional connection. To recap it all, the reason this article relates to the perspective of functionalism, is because it explains the emotions and behavior of how a child would act that has or doesn’t have an emotional connection with a parent or caregiver.
What I learned in this article is the effects of having or not having an emotional connection with a parent or caregiver. This article interested me because I plan to work with young children in the future. In conclusion in the career I pursue with children this article has taught me that having an emotional connection with children is even important for a caregiver/teacher, because they know they can trust you and will help them be less
