Description
Felix’s attachment behaviour can be observed during togetherness with and separateness from his parents. Felix is filmed at the Health Centre where the GP who delivered him carries out his first year check-up. His mother re-starts work for one day a week and Felix is looked after by a neighbour who is both a teacher and a registered child minder. We film him there with other children and show his various interests including playing with the piano. In several parts of the film one can see early defensive behaviour developing which can sometimes be traced back to the first early weeks. Felix’s imitative play with both parents is filmed; with his mother in a domestic situation inside the house and with his father outside in the garden. The use Felix makes of his bottle as a comfort object is shown, also his use of a book and other toys as time progresses.
