Building trust with parents or carers will result in them knowing that the nursery is a very good place for their child as it offers a great amount of help and support, which is especially important for new parents or carers. Other professionals It is also important to partner with other professionals as they will offer the support and services, where needed, to improve the overall development of the child. For example, a speech and language therapist may assist a child with communication difficulties. Another example would be a play therapist to diagnose, prevent or resolve a child with psychosocial challenges. Multi-disciplinary teams It is very important that everyone in a multi disciplinary team work in partnership.
Babies have social releaser which unlocks the innate tendency for adults to care for them; these are both physical and behavioural social releasers. Bowlby adopted the idea of a critical period from ethologists like Lorenz, and applied this to his explanation of how human infants form their attachments. Bowlby has several claims. The first being that we have evolved a biological need to attach to our main caregiver, this being the monotropy attachment. Forming this attachment has survival values, as staying close to the mother ensure food and protection.
(3.1) Explain the benefits of key worker/person system in early years settings The attachment bonds of babies and children All babies and children require having warm, interacting and can responding to the needs when crying and needing to be safe. This links to the main area of each child’s future relationships. Mostly, all babies and children experience bond with their senses and this includes love that impacts a child and help change their learning as this happens, children develop to be more curious and create friendships with other children and can be good at school. At hospitals, after the babies are born then the midwife brings the baby to the mother which involves skin to skin bonding and the nurses encourage feeding from the mother to the baby. At settings, the key person will have warm and affectionate bond with babies and children but they do not replace the parents and if the key person has a long term illness so two people will care for a child in the setting.
Bowlby argued that the attachment behaviours in both caregivers and babies evolved ensuring the survival of the baby until maturity and reproduce. Babies produce instincts like crying and smiling which encourages the caregiver to look after it. Parents especial mothers as per to Bowlby have instincts to protect their baby from harm and nurture them ensuring their survival until maturity. Those babies and mother who don’t possess these behaviours have been less successful. A second most important concept in Bowlby’s theory was the idea of monotrophy a single attachment to one person who is most important to the baby.
Bowlby put forward a theory of attachment based upon the assumption that attachments are formed due to their evolutionary advantages. The theory states that attachments are adaptive and become attached because of the long term benefits such as feeding and protection from a caregiver. It also states that infants have social releasers which are physical and behavioural characteristics that elicit an innate tendency to look after, such as smiling or crying. The attachment is a monotropic attachment to the mother which occurs within the critical period, which is from birth to two and a half years of age. This attachment helps the infant to form an internal working model which is a schema for all future relationships.
The Effects of Healthy Family Systems and Childhood Development Danielle Whitebread HSCO 502- Liberty University Family systems are important in children’s growth and development for many reasons. Murray Bowen, John Bowlby and Erik Erickson’s theories of family systems, attachment and trust describe how family systems are important to a child’s physical, emotional, spiritual and social development. The family systems theory was originally introduced by Dr. Murray Bowen. Dr. Bowen’s theory was used more in the clinical setting as a therapy involving the entire family system. Bowen’s theory explained that instead of one being seen as an individual, they were a part of a larger group; a family system.
John Money of John Hopkins University suggests that gender identity is easy to persuade during the first years of life, after that gender is permanent. However, this suggestion has its challenges. It is during infancy that parents create and determine the gender role by the decisions the parents make for the child. Social learning theories describe types of reinforcement in families, which places value on environmental factors and gender role. It is often that we see female babies cuddling with their mothers while the males are often seen playing with toys and balls with more aggression and with the fathers (Ghosh, 2013).
Through her novels, Jane Austen shows how these factors effect parenting style and overall the success and life choices of the child. In today’s society there are many aid available to help the child raising process. They all share a common outline on what is considered proper childrearing and how to build a close bond with your kids for a positive relationship. However in Jane Austen’s era, parents seemed to take a different approach in having a very distinguished “Parent-Child” relationship and less like a companion with emotional ties. This set the stage, and greatly influenced the parenting figures found in Jane Austen’s novels.
2.2 Parent-child Relationship Parent–child relationship quality is a measure of either the child or parent’s perception of the quality of their relationship (Crowl et al., 2008). The importance of the quality of parent-child relationship lies in the ability of children to form healthy and secure relationships. As young as the age of 2, children develop different attachment styles to their parents as demonstrated in Ainsworth’s experiment called Strange Situation (Kalat, 2015). Children with secure attachments tend to form trusting and stable relationships in the future while those with insecure attachments are mostly to develop into suspicious adults who lack trust in their relationships. As of present, the majority of literature has investigated
