PROMOTING ATTACHMENT
When children have a
healthy attachment
with an adult, they can:
Look to adults for love
and affection.
Depend on adults for
safety and security.
Seek out adults for
conversation and play.
Accept adult’s help
and comfort.
A memory of a favorite
teacher
Why
do you remember this teacher?
What did he/she do that you feel helped
you feel special and cared for?
What do you do that creates this feeling
for your children and families?
Supporting Classroom Community
Children feel welcomed and safe
when they understand what’s
expected, know one nurturing
adult, and have friends to play
with.
When children feel safe, engaged
and included, they will have less
frustration, anxiety, and
challenging behavior.
