Course description

A course if you have a basic understanding of attachment, but you’re not sure how to identify different attachment styles or patterns within your day-to-day work with children and adolescents. Or perhaps you do feel quite confident but you’d like a refresher, or you’re looking for some great training material to introduce to colleagues.

And once you’ve got a sense of a child’s pattern, are you clear about the best way to adapt your own approach to make relationship with him or her? Because, as psychologist Dan Hughes points out, it’s only through providing real relationship - a secure attachment of warmth and stability which they can trust and rely on - that helps children and young people  genuinely engage us, and allow us to influence them. 

This course will also offer you many suggestions across a range of situations, to give you resources as your relationship develops. It will also identify some of the pitfalls, and suggest what you might need by way of support for the journey.  You will have continual access to this course for 12 full months.
