Summary: <a href="http://www.cehd.umn.edu/people/roism001/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a>You probably know how important attachment is in the early months and years of your child’s life. But according to attachment research, how does the quality of that attachment relate to your child’s behavior and competence as a teen or even an adult?<br> <br> <br> <br> This week’s Mom Enough guest, <a href="http://www.cehd.umn.edu/people/roism001/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Glenn Roisman</a>, has focused his career on studying how early relationships with parents and others are the starting point for social, cognitive and biological development throughout a person’s life. Representing the <a href="https://twin-cities.umn.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Minnesota</a>’s <a href="https://z.umn.edu/momenough" target="_blank" rel="noopener">College of Education & Human Development</a> (a supporting partner of Mom Enough), he joins Marti & Erin for a rich discussion of recent research findings on attachment, childcare and other factors that shape development. And he highlights new research trying to untangle both genetic and environmental influences and the ways they interact.<br> <br> <br> <br> In what ways is the quality of a baby’s relationship with parents and other caregivers important to lifelong development? What, if anything, was surprising to you in this Mom Enough discussion of attachment research?<br> <br> <br> <br> For the U of M’s College of Education and Human Development, <a href="https://z.umn.edu/momenough" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">click here</a>.<br> <br> For Separating Fact from Fiction about Parent‐Child Attachment, <a href="http://momenough.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Parent-Child-Attachment.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">click here</a>.<br> <br> To learn more about STEEP, <a href="http://ceed.umn.edu/in-person-trainings/steep/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">click here</a>.
