July 22 @ 11:00 am – 12:30 pm CDT
Do a caregiver’s device-related behaviors affect attachment security with their child? That question was the basis of two national studies by the co-presenters, which both found evidence of a connection. In this interactive session, they will discuss their research outcomes and provide strategies to help identify and heal attachment ruptures created by caregiver device use.
After attending this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Describe three types of attachment bonds and assess for at least two potential attachment threats
- Identify three examples of unhealthy or inappropriate primary caregiver device use that could contribute to an insecure attachment rupture or bond
- List and implement three skills to help parents/caregivers address device-centric behavior attachment issues and avoid generating future ruptures
CE credits available for psychologists, therapists, counselors, and social workers.
