- Abstract
Exploring the intersection of proximal processes, attachment theory, and internalisation in the context of early childhood education is crucial for enhancing high quality teaching practices. With a specific focus on Bronfenbrenner's bioecological model and the significance of proximal processes, this article aims to highlight how quality interactions between teachers and children act as powerful catalysts for children's development. Also considered is the importance of the concept of internalisation, a key metaphor that is characteristic of sociocultural approaches. The article will conclude with some suggestions of practices that early childhood teachers can use with developing children to integrate key pedagogical principles that underpin bioecological theory.
