| Reference in APA format (2 pts) | Whitty, K. A. (2022). A Sticky Fixation: Adherence to Attachment Theory in Early Childhood Infant Practices (Doctoral dissertation, University of Canberra). |
| In your own words, what are the key findings? (8 pts) In 100-300 words (2-5 paragraphs), summarize the main findings in your source. | Whitty critiques the dominance of attachment theory in shaping early childhood education and care practices, highlighting its limitations and the challenges it creates. She argues that attachment theory often oversimplifies complex dynamics within infant care by perpetuating binary frameworks, such as education versus care, and reifies traditional gender roles by framing childcare as “female caring work.” Through a combination of genealogical and ethnographic methods, the study reveals how attachment theory’s widespread influence constrains innovative practices and reduces the agency of infant practitioners. Whitty advocates for a post-humanist approach to reimagine infant care, emphasizing the interplay between human and non-human factors, as well as the importance of affective and material considerations in caregiving settings. This reconceptualization encourages practitioners to move beyond the historical fixation on attachment theory, fostering more inclusive and adaptive approaches to meet the diverse needs of infants and caregivers in contemporary settings. |
