Outcomes

Grounded in six decades of research about how secure adult-child relationships can be supported and strengthened, you will gain new insights into your relationship with children, and be inspired to:

• deeply reflect on your daily practices and interactions, through a ‘lens’ of secure attachment,
• develop the necessary skills to identify and meet children’s attachment needs
• reframe your responses to children’s emotional regulation and behaviour
• apply new strategies to support meaningful connections and strengthen relationships.

By applying an attachment framework to their daily practices, educators become the ‘relational anchor’ children need to confidently engage in the learning environment and maximise their developmental outcomes.
