three part course

Promoting safety and security

for children and families in unsettled times

With Marilyn Sanders
All young mammals are born developmentally immature and need adult caregivers to permit their survival. As young mammals engage in reciprocal relationships with adult caregivers, they build expectations of each other’s behaviours. Over time, if relationships meet the infant and young child’s biologic expectations for adult emotional and physical proximity, attunement, sensitivity and reciprocity, the infant becomes securely attached to the adult.

In a secure attachment, the young child seeks out the adult for safety and security. Secure attachment buffers children against stresses they may encounter later and enhances children’s resilience. Adults who are securely attached manage stress better and have better health and well-being than those who are insecurely attached.

Unsettling times increase the importance of developing secure attachments and yet may interfere with the presence of the supports for young families critical to fostering healthy relationships.

In this course, Dr. Marilyn Sanders provides an insight into attachment theory and the human nervous system in order to show how to help build emotional resourcefulness in times of individual and collective adversity.
Dr Marilyn  Sanders is a board-certified pediatrician and neonatologist who cares for critically ill babies, infants, and their families at the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center Newborn Intensive Care Unit in Hartford.

This course will introduce the learner to:

  • The biologic expectations infants and young children have of their adult caregivers
  • The disruptions of social connectedness caused by the isolation and social distancing of the Covid-19 pandemic
  • The history and foundations of attachment theory and the role secure attachment plays in optimal health and well-being
  • Conservation of resources theory and how caravans of risk vs caravans of resources impact child and adult health
  • Challenges and global burdens of common disruptions of connectedness, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), facing 21st century children
  • The impact of awareness of provider and patient unconscious nervous system responses on the provider/patient relationship
  • Tools to tune and tone the patient’s unconscious nervous system to foster a stronger therapeutic alliance
