Share this post
In this interview Professor Lynne Murray explains some of the underpinning concepts from her book The Psychology of Babies. She depicts the five core stages of relatedness: newborn, core relatedness, topic-based relatedness, connected-up relatedness and co-operative relatedness (see the next step for more detail about these), and describes what it is that the infant needs from the primary caregiver at each stage.
Watch the video, then go onto the next step and read her description of these stages and look at some of the wonderful photo-images of parents and babies interacting at each of the different stages of relatedness, taken from her book.
