Attachment Across Development: Patterns, Disruptions, and Findings

Course overview

Attachment shapes how children relate, regulate, and respond to caregivers from birth through adolescence, and those patterns carry real weight in evaluation and assessment. This webinar walks through how attachment develops at each stage, what secure and insecure patterns look like in practice, and how disruption shows up in a child's behavior and relationships. Participants will learn to recognize attachment patterns across developmental stages, distinguish normal variation from concerning disruption, and translate what they observe into clear, defensible findings. Whether you assess children directly or rely on attachment concepts in your work, you will leave with a practical framework for understanding the parent-child bond and articulating what it means.
