We take a deep dive into the science of attachment, how children are meant to connect with their parents and carers. We look at the hierarchy of attachment and its development, as defined by Dr Neufeld. We touch on how children can get stuck in behaviour patterns when they are not deeply attached and how these can become personality traits.
This episode forms the foundation of our next one where we explore the practical applications of this science.
The LEAD approach is a way of understanding and supporting children from a relational perspective that draws on a variety of research in how brains develop and what they need to develop emotional maturity, and how that applies in our culture.
