Attachment observation

For this observation I had the opportunity to observe a girl named Amanda she is
2 years old, in day care that I observe Amanda in the morning at 9:00 am on Friday
10/4/2019. The class that Amanda was, it was with 20 students, the class setting was
very cozy, students had all kind of materials to play and explore with.
This was the first day of Amanda in the day care. Her parents could leave
Amanda in the door of the classroom. Amanda looked scare to leave her parents, she
grabs his dads’ hand very tight and she didn’t want to leave. She cries and in some how
do a tantrum to let her parents know that she didn’t want to be in the class. Her parents
respond very concern, and as it was expecting, they didn’t know how to respond, they
try to make Amanda know that she will be fine and that her mom will be back in a
couple of hours. The caregiver, in this case, talk to Amanda to let her know that she is
fine, and she will have fun in the class and that she will made new friends.
Amanda understand that fight to their parents was impossible she grab the hand
of the caregiver and went in the class, but before that she give to her parents a kiss, Her
parents looks like they were comfortable with the attachment that she had with the
caregiver, they didn’t look worry about leave her precious daughter with a stranger, and
also they felt secure to leave in that moment knowing that her daughter was in a safety
place, and she will have fun in the class.
What I can see was that Amanda was very attach with her dad, she hugs him
and grab his hand every time that her mom tries to make her go with the caregiver.
When she was finally secure to go with the caregiver, she stays with the caregiver for a
couple hours, the caregiver talks to her and play with her including her with her
classmates.
After I saw this observation, I felt kind of scare to get to this, but at the same
time, I know that every child is different and that the situations will be different, there
might be children that cry, and that others will feel uncomfortable for a couple of a hours
and then they will be playing and laughing with their classmates, and also I know that I
have to be professional and that I have to help their parents to this process too.
The advise That I can give to Amanda’s parents is that the next time that they
pass for this, lets say when they have another child is to start to talk about the day care
2 weeks before he/she start, also, that they let the child to take his/her favorite toy to the
class, I know that some time parents are scare that they loose their toys in the day care,
but in this case is necessary so in that way the child can feel close his/her house, and
that was the big mistake of Amanda’s parents, do not let her bring the toy that she had
in her hand in that day.
