Assessing Attachment: A look at Attachment Theory and Emotional Coaching
Pre-recorded webinar
Presented by Ruth Lyons, PhD
As a foster parent, one of the biggest gifts we give the children in our care is the guarantee of a caring adult in their life. Research suggests that failure to form secure attachments early in life can have a negative impact on behavior in later childhood and throughout life. This session will tackle how to navigate and assist children with attachment issues. In this session, participants will learn about Attachment Theory through the collective work of John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth. Together we will examine the importance of early emotional bonds and the different types of attachment. After taking an attachment test to identify our own attachment styles, participants will learn the five steps of emotional coaching techniques that can be used with any child. Participants will leave equipped with new learnings that can immediately be put to use.
