Part 3: To what extent might early self-recognition be seen as a coping strategy for insecurely attached infants?
Part 4: What is the relationship between self-regulation in children and later success in school?
Part 5: What is ‘emotional reciprocity’ between mother and child and why is it important? What do you think would happen if there is no, or very limited, reciprocity between mother and child?
Part 6: What is meant by ‘theory of mind’? Why is it so important in understanding how infants communicate and how does this relate to the formation of attachments?
Part 7: Why are children in families with multiple problems more likely to have insecure attachment classifications? Consider the Sutton Trust’s claims and evaluate the evidence presented for these.
