Care ● Compassion ● Community
Parents and carers will:
• Gain an understanding of these challenges and explore ways of building
emotional connections with the children which can increase trust in
reciprocal and attachment relationships leading to increased attachment
security and reduced levels of shame.
• Understand how to provide support for behaviour alongside building these
connections. This has been termed 'connection with correction' by Dan
Hughes (2009).
• Explore the dangers of blocked care when caring for children with blocked
trust and understand the importance of looking after yourself,
• Understand the significance of exploring your own attachment history
when caring for children with attachment difficulties.
