Benefits of Research


Research on attachment has had a great effect on children and families.  The countless research on attachment has help create programs that support children and families.  Programs such as early childhood education program, parenting programs, or therapy based their services around research found on the importance of attachment.  I work for a non-profit organization where we offer all of those programs and because of research, we are able to have an organization with many different program have one common focus area, attachment.  This gives us the ability to reach out and help many in the community.

The one experiment that have always had a profound effect on me. Is the Still Face Paradigm.  This experiment, although hard to watch, tells us a lot about infant communication and caregiver’s responsiveness’s.  I encourage you to watch if you haven’t done so already.  You can see the experiment on youtube:

    I agree with you that research on attachment has really helped children and families especially in the area of relationship and the way parents response to their children from when they are small.
