Attachment in Early Childhood

Welcome to this educational lecture on Family–Child Interaction and Attachment in Early Childhood. In this video, we explore how early relationships between children and their caregivers shape emotional, social, cognitive, and neurodevelopmental outcomes. The lecture discusses attachment theory, caregiver sensitivity, early relational health, the effects of adversity and deprivation, evidence-based attachment-focused interventions, and practical implications for pediatric and developmental practice. The content is based on peer-reviewed scientific literature, including systematic reviews, randomized clinical trials, longitudinal cohort studies, and landmark research in developmental psychology and pediatrics.
