  1. Hello. My name is bailey Williams.
  2. I am in parenting and child guidance.
  3. Um And today uh for the creative application assignment.
  4. I want to talk about attachment theory.
  5. Um So yeah let's get started.
  6. Um so attached in theory it's coming my face.
  7. So attachment theory it was originally created by John Bowlby
  8. in 191950s.
  9. Um and his focus was mostly just determine the quality
  10. of parent child relationships.
  11. Um You know and how those promote healthy development and
  12. Children. Um That was really hard just called development theories.
  13. Um This was further developed by a student of his
  14. mary ANn's worth.
  15. And that's where we get attachment styles.
  16. Um She ran a test basically a laboratory where she
  17. would put a baby in a room um with the
  18. parent and she would see what happened when the parent
  19. would leave.
  20. Um And then what happened when the child comes back.
  21. Um And so from her findings we get four main
  22. attachment styles.
  23. Um The cool thing about cache of theories.
  24. So I have some notes here.
  25. Cool thing about Tasha theory is it tells us um
  26. The quality of the cash room between the child and
  27. the parent.
  28. Um And it helps us determine adult behavior.
  29. So like the child grows up.
  30. What type of behavior um that child will have in
  31. intimate relationships.
  32. Um Let me let's get let's get into the attachments.
  33. What what are they?
  34. Let's get into it.
  35. Um So there are four types of attachment styles.
  36. One of them is secure and the other one for
  37. the other four are insecure The first being a secure
  38. attachment right?
  39. It's what's called the only one.
  40. Um The other two um Are sorry the other three
  41. are insecure avoidant and is that you're anxious and then
  42. insecure disorganized or fearful?
  43. Disorganized? Um Once.
  44. So let's look into secure attachment uh secure attachment.
  45. Um So in the laboratory situation when I was just
  46. talking about with mary ANn's worth um the baby will
  47. appear to stress when the corrective reliefs.
  48. Um But when the parent or the caregiver returns and
  49. the baby is comforted, they're happy, they're relieved.
  50. Um They're calm.
  51. Um And this indicates that they have a secure attachment
  52. with their parents, They're supported.
  53. Um This tells us that um this parent is emotionally
  54. available for this child um And his responses to the
  55. child needs.
  56. So the baby feels safe in its parent, feels secure
  57. in its parent knows that when the parents there it's
  58. okay, everything will be fine.
  59. Um So an adult, a child with this type of
  60. attachment will be more assertive with their communication to be
  61. more confident who they are.
  62. Um They'll be more trusting of a romantic partner uh
  63. and be more easily available with their own Children.
  64. They have a good parenting model right?
  65. They learn from, so they'll be more uh emotionally available
  66. to their own Children.
  67. So this is obviously the ideal.
  68. But there there are different types of parenting styles and
  69. different things that happened.
  70. So let's look at the insecure attachments.
  71. I will start with avoidance.
  72. So um and that laboratory situation um the baby is
  73. ambivalent to the caregiver leaving and does not acknowledge its
  74. caregivers return, meaning the parent leaves, the baby doesn't care.
  75. The parent comes back to him, he doesn't care.
  76. Or does it indicate caring?
  77. So this tells us that the parents um tends to
  78. maybe be unresponsive, dismissive of the child's needs.
  79. And so the baby doesn't feel trusting of this parent
  80. or it doesn't feel comfortable opening up.
  81. I'm being vulnerable with this parent.
  82. Um So an adult with the avoidant attachment style um
  83. will tend to be overly independent struggle probably with intimate
  84. relationships and being emotionally available in those relationships.
  85. Um Let's look at anxious attachment.
  86. Um So that anxious attachment um style.
  87. Sorry. Um In the laboratory situation the baby will express
  88. the stress when the caregiver relief.
  89. Um but will not indicate any side of relief when
  90. the caregiver returns.
  91. Um This kind of thing, they're basically always anxious, a
  92. little bit upset.
  93. They're they're upset.
  94. Women, no matter what its parents there or not.
  95. At this point they're upset.
  96. The parent left and they're not comforted by its return.
  97. Um Parents.
  98. This patrick, I'll tend to be inconsistent with responding to
  99. babies means.
  100. So the baby doesn't really know what to expect from
  101. their parents.
  102. Um If they're gonna be able to meet their emotional
  103. needs are not if they're safe or not.
  104. Um As adults in the anxious attachment style, person becomes
  105. um distressful of other people's affection, I'm not very sure
  106. um if it's genuine how long it will last and
  107. they will be able to be dependent on others first
  108. and self worth.
  109. The struggle struggle with inner confidence and there is uh
  110. voice like seeing themselves confidently.
  111. Yeah. Um And we want to look at our last
  112. attachment style, disorganized attachment.
  113. Um So they allowed her situation, babies appear fearful or
  114. confused in the presence of a caregiver.
  115. Like they freeze.
  116. That's like basically one thing that comes up a lot
  117. in reading about this casual style is that they freeze,
  118. you don't really know what to do or how to
  119. interact with the caregiver.
  120. And generally this is from an abusive situation babies in
  121. this household um tend to not know or having a
  122. connection with their caregiver because they don't see them as
  123. someone that can provide safety or security.
  124. Um So adults with the disorganized attachment tend to be
  125. unpredictable uh emotionally reactive.
  126. Um Maybe more like boost canyons canyon style.
  127. And they also have very low self confidence.
  128. Um They don't really have attachment basically they struggled with
  129. maintaining that.
  130. Um So with that, with the attachment theory um there
  131. are luckily it's not forever.
  132. The cool thing is that you know you're Tasman can
  133. change. Um You know as an adult or as a
  134. child, attachments can change.
  135. So maybe someone who's more than anxious or avoidance or
  136. even disorganized can form secure attachments with others.
  137. Um As adults, you know if you have a anxious
  138. or you have an insecure attachment value, performance attachment style
  139. with an adult who is um I'm sorry you can
  140. form of secure attachment with a partner or in a
  141. family situation so it can always be changed.
  142. Um It doesn't need help.
  143. Um But what this really goes to show you is
  144. just how what parents do affects Children.
  145. And so it's important that we're aware of how um
  146. what we say, what we do and how we are
  147. responsive to our Children um really affects their upbringing and
  148. how they become.
  149. Um See the world as adult on how they see
  150. relationship has been told.
  151. So um yep I hope you enjoyed my little presentation
  152. um and uh
