Individual Learning



  • Temperament (Day 8 & 9)
      • **Development of Attachment — 25 minute module on how attachment develops, institutionalized children, and early emotional bonding. Reading the transcripts rather than clicking through modules is fine
      • Temperament Topic of the Week — Review Mollie Grow’s TOW for a theoretical understanding of infant temperament types, and how to use this to discuss parent/infant compatibility
      • Optional Resources:
        • Attachment in Practice — 20-minute module on attachment behaviors and responding to infant cues
        • Temperament: A tool you can use for parents to identify their child’s temperament and their own temperaments to aid reflection and understanding


  • **Guided Learning Sessions for the Week:
    • Temperament by Dr. Julia Mattson
    • Typical Child Development by Dr. Emily Myers
  • DBP Prep Questions: PREP Case-Based Questions
  • (Optional) Movie Night:
    • Babies Documentary (Trailer): Need Amazon Prime account to view documentary (Video). Note: This is not the same as the new 2020 Netflix documentary, which goes into very interesting science but is several episodes. The Amazon documentary is 90 minutes and has no dialogue — just follows 4 babies as they grow into toddlers around the world.
  • Weekly Check-In with the fellows (1 hour): Goals — Time to reflect on learning of this week, ask questions, discuss cases.
