Target

The kid has to be blindfolded by the parents and needs to listen very carefully about what the parents is saying. The parents needs to observe the trial very good and needs to think about how he is going to communicate it towards the toddler. It’s the intention that the kid can finish the trial without looking by the helping tips and hand of the parents. The parents needs to give advice about the obstacle that the kid is facing with. The parents can’t touch the toddler but he can give advice. When the toddler is scared, the parents can help by showing that he is there and that he would be there if something would happen. During the trial there is a clock ticking to see how long they are doing to finish the trail. When they have finished the trial they can see the time and they can decide together if they want to do it again and faster or not.

 

The intention is that the parents can finish the trial together with their toddler based on trust. The toddler needs to trust the parents in telling the right way and not letting to happen something with them. It’s the intention that the kid can feel that he can trust and count on the parents and that he can feel safe when the parents is around. The kid needs to see that the parents is there when the kid needs him.

 

Position on the wire

This activity can be put on the “an attach wire” position because of the fact that the toddler has to explore the trail and had to put faith in the parents. The toddler needs to have the feeling that he can count on the parents if it would be necessary. During this position the parents can put time in getting an attachment relationship with their toddler by giving them faith in their proximity.

Part of the parent

Part of the toddler

The parents have to fulfill an important task. They have to see that the toddler gets at the end in a safe way. They have to be there for their kid and let their kid see that they are there in case of emergency. They have to take care of the fact that nothing happens with their child and they have to show that they will always give their child safety.

When the parents can show to their child that they are trustable, the child will count a lot more on the parents and will search more close proximity. They would have the feeling that the parents are responsible and they would feel loved by their parents. This can lead to a feeling of involvement and responsivity.

The toddler needs to trust the parents and needs to feel safe. They have to face their anxieties and have to believe in the fact that the parents will take care of him. It’s important that the toddler listens very carefully to what the parents are saying.

When the activity is going well, it will develop a feeling of trust in the parents’ involvement and presence. The kid can get the feeling that he can count on his parents and because of that the kid will have trust during exploring new things. The kid will know that he can call for the parents when he is in need.
