This class provides an overview of childhood attachment as a theory and clinical concept, but doesn’t stop there! It also provides a brief introduction to the relevant neuroscience behind the varying attachment experiences. We will delve into exploration of how our own attachment styles can impact our adult life as individuals, and then into parenthood. There will be at length conversation regarding parenting children with attachment needs through the lens of attachment as a spectrum. During the COVID-19 quarantine, children with attachment struggles have escalated needs and triggers. Potential activities to complete with children will be provided in addition to a collaborative discussion and Question and Answer portion.
