Why Parent-Child Interaction<br />
(Attachment Theory & Research)<br />
• Secure attachment has implications <strong>for</strong> social, emotional, and<br />
cognitive development<br />
• Sensitive, responsive parenting is associated with secure<br />
attachment<br />
• Some infants and parents are at risk <strong>for</strong> insecure attachment:<br />
infants who are fussy or have developmental or medical needs,<br />
parents who experienced poor parenting <strong>the</strong>mselves, are anxious,<br />
depressed, or have o<strong>the</strong>r limitations<br />
• Interventions that target parental sensitivity may improve <strong>the</strong><br />
attachment relationship, which may have implications <strong>for</strong> future<br />
development<br />
