This book firmly locates the core aspects of Attachment Theory in the patterns of day-to-day behaviour and learning experiences of children and their teachers, clearly linking pupils’ experience of early relationships to their struggle to learn. The author explores the significance of the relationship between the pupil, the teacher and the learning task in the ‘Learning Triangle’, linking it to emotional development, behaviour and attachment experiences. She identifies a Learning Profile related to each Attachment style, and explores the conditions under which a school may be considered a secure base for the children learning there.
