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.
