Attachment and
Day Care

 

Recent research has suggested no effect of day care on attachment security even though the opposite was implied by many writers in the past.  There is also much evidence to support that understanding attachment, fostering secure attachment, and addressing insecure attachments in the day care settings can be extremely useful.
