It is essential for practitioners to be aware of children’s care and learning needs within a setting‚ there are numerous reasons for this. Primarily‚ it is to encourage ‘development’. A few children may develop and learn quicker than others but as practitioners it is somewhat our responsibility to make sure that all children’s needs are cared for despite what stage of development/growth they are at. This can be done‚ by carrying out observations; these will support us to distinguish the ‘exact’ learning

Harry Harlow was an American psychologist who investigated whether infants bond with their mother because of cupboard love (i.e. the fact that their mother provides them with food) or‚ as Bowlby suggested‚ an inbuilt tendency to become attached to stimuli that possess certain properties (such as being warm and soft to the touch). The problem is that‚ under normal circumstances‚ mothers simultaneously provide food and tactile comfort for their babies. An observational study alone could not separate

After having the lecture of “development over the life span “‚ I have noticed that emotional development varies among people caused by the difference of attachment style that their caregivers or parent give to them. According to Bowlby & Ainsworth (1956‚1991)‚ attachment style or pattern can be divided into four types : secure base‚ avoidant‚ ambivalent and disorganized. For example‚ if parent applies a warm/responsive caregiving style to their children‚ children therefore will be securely attached

From Sigmund Freud to Jean Piaget‚ each theorists believes in a different truth behind each developmental milestone. The checklist relates to Sigmund Freud’s theory because each area of development can relate to at least one of the stages in Freud’s theory.

Bowlby’s (1969) revolutionary attachment theory supports this argument and implies that an infant becoming attached is essential to human development. As suggested by Bowlby‚ a child’s earliest experiences determine their ability in creating an Internal Working Model‚ (IWM). An inability to do so can be detrimental to later development‚ consequently causing resistant or avoidant attachment types (Ainsworth) and long-term

Early Relationships Children that do not receive continuous loving care‚ and do not form attachments with the care-giver‚ can grow up to be emotionally and cognitively damaged. Attachment is defined as: ‘a long enduring emotionally meaningful bond to a particular individual’¸ this bond is usually characterised by a desire for proximity to the care-giver and by separation distress when the bond is broken.

to smile at those people. This is a crucial time for developing attachments. Psychologist John Bowlby was the first attachment theorist‚ describing attachment as a "lasting psychological connectedness between human beings" (Bowlby‚ 1969‚ p. 194). Bowlby believed that the earliest bonds formed by children with their caregivers have a tremendous impact that continues throughout life. According to Bowlby‚ attachment also serves to keep the infant close to the mother‚ thus improving the child’s chances
