HAWWC Boys Video Blogs: Family Relationships & Attachment

Young children need to establish a deep attachment to their main carer(s), who provides the young boy with security, consistency of care and the confidence to trust. These deep psychological roots are linked to intellectual development.

Young boys need at least one person in their lives who would go to unreasonable lengths for them.

The following videos highlight the family experiences of HAWWC boys' subjects -- from family support, close relationships of note and their individual approaches to parenting and daily routines.
