This module explores how ethical discussion and legislation have both struggled to keep up with the fast-changing landscape of conception, pregnancy, the birth process and the care of babies up to the age of two years.
These developments have in turn fed into the sociological changes around the nature of parenting, the family and professional practice.
The nature of attachment is shaped by the experience of pregnancy and the birth process. The first two years of the child’s life are important to various key child development theorists and the module will consider the links between theory and practice in relation to Early Years.
