Child Literacy

Attachment Theory, is an important aspect of child literacy which is the attachment theory, developed by Mary Ainsworth and John Bowlby in the 1990s. 

Attachment theory is very important as a parent to be aware of, as it influences your child’s social development and relationship capacity as well as influencing their emotional health and ability to communicate. 

Prior to the 1980s, it was believed that children where resilient against trauma or simply didn’t remember rough childhoods.

This was been proved to be quite the opposite and  developmentally trauma is now known to imprint in the social, emotional and psychological development altering the health and wellbeing outcomes across the life span of a child who for example witnesses DV, experiences abuse or trauma.
