Strategies to support children and adolescents with attachment disorders

About this workshop

It is not unusual for children with attachment disorders to be enrolled in schools, childcare centres and other such settings that we work. These children are often the target of labels such as attention seeking, anxious, aggressive, manipulative, or highly controlling.

This labelling can result in us implementing ineffective behaviour management strategies, which in turn can negatively affect the child’s progress and development. Therefore, it is critical that we develop our knowledge about attachment disorders and how to approach them.

In this practical and interactive workshop, you’ll learn:

• The definition and characteristics of attachment
• The difference between secure attachment insecure attachment
• The different types of insecure attachment
• The impact of insecure attachment on a child’s social, emotional and behavioural development
• Strategies for connecting with and supporting children with insecure attachment

Come along to this practical and interactive workshop that provides an expert blend of information, skills and strategies that will educate, empower and enable you to be the CHANGE in the lives of the people you support.
