E39. Attachment in Action Series: 4-5 Year Olds with a Systemic, Attachment Lens
35m | Jun 17, 2025Welcome back for the next journey of The Family Express Podcast with Kathryn de Bruin, LMFT and Ronda Evans, LMFT where our destination is resilient and connected families.
Today, Kathryn and Ronda continue the Attachment in Action Series. This episode we focus on the world of the 4-5 year old (up until turning 6 year old). This conversation is taken from the chapter of the same name from the book "Attachment in Family Therapy" written by Patricia Crittenden et al. This conversation includes shifting a viewpoint of individual bhaviors or symptoms in an child to placing those behaviors in the context of attachment and instead seeing those behaviors as functioning to promote survival and to elicit comfort, safety and protection from the parent or caregiver.
Kathryn de Bruin is an ICEEFT Certified EFT Trainer. Kathryn and Ronda are both licensed marriage and family therapists, EFT supervisors and therapists, and AAMFT Approved Supervisors.
