CONNECTION & SEPARATION: BUILDING A CHILD’S CAPACITY TO SEPARATE
The workshop content is focused towards developing a foundational understanding of what happens inside our little people when they are facing separation from a parent/caregiver. We discuss, not only the attachment system, but also the alarm system (anxiety) and strategies for both parents, caregivers and care providers on how to separate with ease. The major tenets of Connection & Separation will enable care providers to respond effectively to the attachment needs of the children coming into their care, and ultimately, provide a comforting, nurturing environment for these children to be received into.
