For preschool children with emotional difficulties arising from attachment problems, the typical observations used in the early years are not always helpful for identifying their issues and providing guidance on how they can be helped. Combining an accessible introduction to attachment and child development with an observation tool for identifying behavior, as well as the underlying emotional needs driving this behavior, this book enables early childhood professionals to recognize problems and provide appropriate support. 'Case' boxes help illustrate typical attachment patterns, covering all aspects of behavior, including play, peer interaction, the need for attention, and aggression. Written in clear and concise language, "Observing Children with Attachment Difficulties in Preschool Settings" aims to equip the reader with the knowledge and skills needed to recognize and support children's emotional and social difficulties. Suitable for use with children aged 2-5 years, it will be a valuable resource for early childhood professionals, as well as clinicians, teachers, and learning support staff.
