Deans, Carolyn L. – Early Child Development and Care, 2020
There is strong evidence that children of mothers with insecure attachment styles have poor outcome trajectories. "Maternal sensitivity" may be the behaviour which links mother and child attachment models. This would, therefore, be a natural target for treatment in attachment interventions. A systematic literature review was conducted to…

Given the number of dogs that are kept by families…

Tayler, Collette – European Journal of Education, 2015
Learning in the earliest stage of life--the infancy, toddlerhood and preschool period--is relational and rapid.

The child's experience…

Fonagy, Peter; Gergely, George; Target, Mary – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2007

This review begins by contrasting a Cartesian view of pre-wired introspective…
