What is an expected pattern of development in children?

What are theories of attachment and how can they be applied to practice?

• Theories of attachment explain how children form emotional bonds with caregivers, and applying them to practice involves using this understanding to support children's emotional needs.

• Theories of attachment focus on genetic inheritance and are unrelated to emotional development.

• Theories of attachment describe only adult relationships and have no relevance to children.

• Theories of attachment are primarily concerned with physical health rather than emotional bonds.

How can the development of language be promoted at different ages?
