Pam Linke, Manager, Centre for Parenting, Child and Youth Health, South Australia This accessible and lively exploration of the importance of attachment for infants, young children and their parents, should be essential reading for all professional caregivers and for policy makers concerned with the mental health and well being of our future generation.' Ruth Schmidt Neven, Director, Centre for Child and Family DevelopmentIn heated debates about whether childcare damages young children, attachment theory has been seen as anti-childcare'. Rolfe rethinks this perception, demonstrating instead that understanding attachment is essential to good childcare practice. Rethinking Attachment offers a thorough explanation of attachment theory and explains how security, autonomy and resilience in young children can be promoted in childcare settings through a sound understanding of attachment principles.With examples drawn from practice, Rolfe examines the relationships between children and their carers, between parents and carers, and between carers themselves.
She also shows how secure attachment relationships with parents and carers influence transitions to childcare, preschool and school.
Sharne Rolfe is Senior Lecturer in Child Psychology in the Department of Learning and Educational Development at the University of Melbourne, and coeditor of Doing Early Childhood Research.
