The video in which part of this paper will be involved in is about early childhood Education: constructive learning environments. I also initiated a search for additional information on the subject provided in the video and as requested is part of this paper.

The teachers provide a gentle and easy environment in which the children can learn and have fun while learning. In other words learning while playing.

Everyone has an attachment style from which they developed in the first two years of their life. This attachment style tends to stay consistent with each person throughout their lifetime and affects their social-emotional development, and thus relationships with other people. Attachment styles greatly affect the choice one makes in life partners, and how they parent their own children. It is important for everyone to gain insight on their own attachment style if they are to know their emotional limits and how to strengthen their flaws in order to develop a better-self and stronger relationships with other people (Norcross, 2011). It is even more so important for caregivers to be aware of their attachment style and how sensitively available they are to the children in their lives. How the primary caregiver responds to the child’s needs, determines the attachment style the child will acquire. To develop a secure attachment the child needs to establish confidence in a reliable caregiver. In this paper I will be talking about the behaviors and interactions that I observed while watching the film “Babies”, and what attachment styles may be formed as a result of those interactions.

In the first third of our course we studied the intense, complex relationship a mother has with her offspring. In order to fully understand this bond, three concepts must be understood: the emotional nature, the adaptive strategy, as well as the relationship's pros and cons.

It also involves social context and behavior. At around 12 months the Attachment relationships are by insecure-avoidant and insecure-resistant types. Disorganized attachment is where the parent seems to be disconnected and dissociated with the infant. Parenting style and behavior tend to interfere with the children’s formation of attachment. Parental intrusiveness is a no contingent, verbal directives or physical behaviors in parents that constrain the children’s activities and behavior. In this study parents believed that discipline and control and child temperament had no significant correlation now were they correlated with attachment disorganization. Child gender did significantly show a higher disorganization for boys than girls negative intrusive parenting at age 6 months, parental belief in discipline and control at age 6 months, and child difficult temperament at age 6 months. Overall, Negative intrusive parenting did have an impact on attachment disorganization and children temperament. Negative intrusive parenting style can lead to provoke fear in young children which then reflects to the children being disorganized attachment as early as 6 months. Parenting style has a large effect on the child’s attachment and temperament as they grow older. Parenting strong belief in discipline and control could lead to a long term consolidate and stabilize negative

A Time magazine article and cover that showed an illustration of a mother breastfeeding an older child grabbed her attention and she began researching the topic looking up styles of attachment parenting and breastfeeding in public. The Time Magazine article discusses the parenting philosophy known as attachment parenting which was developed by Dr. William Sears in 1992.

It also discusses different cultural beliefs and norms that are different then the beliefs some hold in the US. Seaton emotionally connects with fellow mothers by describing the important relationship developed between a mother and child thru breastfeeding and gives the public a great insight thru all the experiences that are documented.

Katie Hopkins on the other hand came out guns blazing with her opinions on Attachment Parenting, she said that as soon as she walked into Costa coffee that she could virtually smell the breast milk coming from these mothers. Mere seconds in Katie already caused offence to a large majority of parents now a days and she didn’t seem to care. She also commented on how the mothers and fathers are carrying their babies and how the slings are always in an Indian print. I know that she was paid to have a contrast argument to what Peaches had to say but some of the comments that she was coming out with could have really offended large groups of people, and all without caring for what they had to say about it.

Families come in different shapes and sizes that make a system. Not a single family is perfect but they can have a healthy family system. When hearing the word healthy in general or in this case healthy family system it means things are going in a proper order and a balance.
