ATTACHMENT AND CHILD-REARING STYLE

A key element of social-emotional development during infancy and toddlerhood is the establishment of bonds of attachment. A childs temperament can influence the nature of attachment with caregivers. For instance, an infants difficult temperament might make it more likely that he or she will develop an insecure attachment to the caregiver. If caregivers receive sufficient social support, thereby establishing a goodness of fit between temperament and environment (i.e., parenting), they can overcome some of the challenges of raising a difficult child.The childs temperament and the caregivers parenting style work in tandem to affect the childs social-emotional and cognitive development. Caregivers who exhibit open displays of warmth and affection and who respond to their childrens needs in a timely manner (thereby acknowledging that each child has some influence on other family members) are likely to socialize their children so that they feel positively about themselves, learn to trust, and are secure with their caregivers. As you examine other parenting styles, think about how the level of caregiver responsiveness affects infant attachment.For this Assignment, you will explore different parenting styles and forms of attachment, and you will examine how culture might impact the type of attachment.
