Mothers’ Experiences with their Own Caregivers and Child’s Behaviors Attachment

Abstract

Early experiences of mothers with their own caregivers tend to influence later relationships, particularly with future children. Thus, the objective of this study was to investigate the mothers’ experiences with their own caregivers and the relation with the child’s current attachment behaviors. Participants were 48 mothers and their children (M = 28.1m; SD = 4.3). The mothers’ experience with their own caregivers was investigated through their perceptions of the care received from their caregivers (Parental Bonding Instrument), and by the representations of attachment (Attachment Script Assessment). The attachment behaviors of the child were investigated by Attachment Q-Sort. Analyzes revealed a reasonable consistency between the mothers’ perceptions about received care, their representations of attachment, and the attachment behaviors of their children. The results support the literature on the relation between mother’ experiences with their own caregivers and the attachment behaviors of the child and bring contributions when presenting evidences in a Brazilian sample.

Educación Inclusiva de la Primera Infancia en Tiempos de Pandemia Covid-19: Percepciones de las Familias

“…Rol mediador de la familiaEn la actualidad, la educación es una tarea compartida entre los educadores y las familias, en este sentido, Álvarez (2019) manifiesta que la implicancia parental tiene que apoyar el progreso de aprendizaje de sus hijos, generando colaboración educativa con la escuela. Asimismo, las familias juegan un rol indispensable en el desarrollo integral de los niños(Bortolini y Piccinini, 2018), ya que el hogar representa el primer espacio de socialización. Considerando lo anterior, es esencial que los educadores trabajen colaborativamente con las familias, puesto que el hogar es el ambiente donde los niños inician la exploración, desarrollo de destrezas, habilidades y procesos de adaptabilidad social(Shrestha et al, 2019).En otro orden de ideas, la pandemia por Covid-19, trajo la oportunidad de entender y reconocer las aportaciones de la familia por el bienestar de los educandos, y el involucramiento de la familia en la educación de sus hijos, reconociendo y valorando la profesión docente(Belmar et al, 2021).…”
