This seminar explores attachment theory through a developmental lens, discussing how children of different ages negotiate the tasks of attachment relationships, both when things go well and when children are affected by adverse events.
The role of attachment in helping children regulate their emotions and cope with stress will be discussed, along with how children perceive both psychological safety and threat, using polyvagal theory.
