  • Building child-teacher relationships in preschool : introducing Neufeld model of attachment development with possible implications for practice
    Žugelj, Urška, 1978-
    This article attempts to introduce the Neufeld model of attachment development as a means of empowering preschool teachers to deepen the quality of their relationships with children in their care. ... The importance of nurturing child-teacher relationships in preschool is presented through the lens of current research. It is argued that despite institutional recognition of importance of these relationships, teachers in practice may not be fully aware of the implications of the attachment dynamics. Due to their immaturity, children cannot operate out of social roles assigned in a way adults do. Instead, deep and nurturing relationships need to be established for children to be able to develop capability to act in mature and socially desired ways. Furthermore, supportive and safe relationships in preschool can serve as protective factors in case of adversity at home or in the community. Teachers need to understand the process of the development of attachment to support development in young children. The model presented explains the developmental trajectory of attachment capacity. Possible implications for preschool setting are presented.
