You are given 3 concepts and theories to use as you analyze the effect this program has on these mothers and their babies. The 3 concepts are supporting new parents, attachment theory, and grandfamilies. Using what you've learned about these concepts and theories, reflect on how they apply to this article. The article features two mother/child pairs, Rebecca/Molly, and Jessie/Charlie. You can apply the concepts to either of the pairs or divide the concepts between the pairs. Attachment theory is best applied to Rebecca's concern about Molly's adjustment to her grandmother's care at the age of 2 years when Rebecca will have to stay behind while Molly goes to live with her grandmother. Being separated from her mother will be traumatic but it can't be avoided. It will happen regardless of whether she is living with her mother or her grandmother. Rebecca must complete some coursework in order to be paroled which suggests she'll be released in a matter of months. The quality of the attachment (secure or insecure) Molly has with her mother will affect her adjustment to her grandmother's care. Review the material on the Attachment Theory and share with classmates your thoughts on how the theory can be applied to Molly's transition out of prison.
