Hi, page 53 of this level 3 EYE handbook explains these areas as:

AC 1.3 Impact of secure relations (Early Years Educator level 3)

Quote

The impact of secure relationships on children is very significant. Having a strong bond with their parents, key carers, and, in early years settings, their key persons seems to be important for many aspects of children's emotional well-being.

• Protective against depression: children who have strong relationships are less likely to develop depression in childhood and in later life.
• Stress: children who have strong, secure relationships seems to be less affected by stress and find it easier to cope with change. (resillience)
• Friendships and relationships: children who have secure relationshiops find it easier to to make friends and to understand other's thoughts and feelings.
• Behaviour: children who have secure relationships seem to manage their emotions in line with their age and stage of development and so are more likely toi show expected behaviour.
• Confidence: children who have secure relationships are more likely to have stronger self-identity, which in turn supports the development of confidence and self-esteem.

There are signs of children having developed secure relationships for example:


p.58 children who have a secure relationship with an adult will often show active signs of wanting to be with that adult, They will often seek them out in a range of situations:

• at the start of the sesseion
• for reassurance if they are unsure of a situation
• to share an achievement or news
• for a cuddle or a hug
• if the adult is doing something interesting
• when they are tired

Not having a secure relationship to rely on or be supported by can mean long and short term effects, it will take a child longer to settle in a setting if they have no one they feel attached to, they may show a lack of concentration which affects participation and learning, theior behaviour might become withdrawn, aggerssive, defensive or be easily upset. The can experience a sense of isolation instead of a sense of belonging.
