Continuity in attachment from parent to child

The type of care that the parents received when they were young children provides another context for children's attachment development. Children form what Bowlby referred to as internal working models or attachment representations that reflect their parents' styles of interaction with them (Bretherton & Munholland, 2016). These working models are modified as children grow into adulthood and reconstruct and reinterpret their early experiences. When they become parents, mothers and fathers tend to re-create relationships with their children that replicate their working models of their own relationships in childhood. A number of techniques have been used to measure internal working models of attachment in children. In the narrative story method, children are given dolls representing family members and the interviewer begins a story about an attachment related event, such as "Your mother is late coming to pick you up one day ... " (Emde et al., 2003). The interviewer then encourages the child to complete the story. The story the child tells is assumed to reflect the child's internal working model of his or her attachment relationship with the mother. Other assessments rely on children's abilities to understand and describe their experiences with their parents. Researchers have found that securely attached 3-year-olds describe positive social events with their parents. Need Assignment Help?
