　　The report from the Sutton Trust education charity，entitled Baby Bonds，makes the case that it has an important impact on children’s future educational chances as well as their emotional wellbeing.It is based on an analysis of more than 100 studies on the issue，including home visits and assessments and observations of children in a range of countries.The Trust argues that although psychologists have been aware of attachment theory，it has not been seen by policy makers as a key influence on educational attainment.And it asks them to take this into account.The report says when babies and toddlers do not form these strong parental bonds—known as secure attachment—they are more likely to exhibit poor language and poor behavior before they reach school.

　　And it cites international studies which suggest this continues late into life，with insecure children more likely to leave school early or duck out of employment or training.They are also more likely to suffer from aggression，defiance and hyperactivity later in life.

　　The Sutton Trust says its analysis of the research suggests that about 40% of children in the UK lack a secure attachment with their parents.Lead author Sophie Moullin said that when her team looked at large scale representative studies in a number of countries they all found，from their observations，that between 38% and 42% of children suffered from poor attachment in all the different study locations.She added，“Secure attachment really helps children with emotional and social development and at school it really helps them to manage their behavior.Shouting，looking out of the window，hitting each other...These are the things that teachers will tell you that are stopping children from learning.It’s really only as we understand more about these behavior problems that we have decided that a lot of it goes back to this early bonding with parents.”
