N2  - The author of this article examines the relationship between attachment theory and children's behaviour in school. Attachment theory is reviewed, including a description of the types of attachment styles and how these contribute to differences in children's behaviour. Children who have experienced abuse or neglect are categorised as displaying 'disorganised' attachment style.
