THE POWER OF LOVE

Attachment theory

Attachment theory, originating in the work of John Bowlby and developed by Mary Ainsworth, is a psychological, evolutionary and ethological theory that provides a descriptive and explanatory framework for understanding interpersonal relationships between human beings.

Attachment theorists consider the human infant to have a need for a secure relationship with adult caregivers, without which normal social and emotional development will not occur.

PONDER ON THIS. IF THE CHILD DOES NOT HAVE A SECURE RELATIONSHIP COULD HE BECOME A BULLY AND A LEARNING DISABLED PERSON?
