Goal. Current discussion about insecure attachments adheres to the relationship between the child and the parent. The researches commonly focuses on how attachment affects the child and how to support parents towards a secure attachment. The purpose of my research is to develop discussion on how insecure attachment affects at school. In my research I consider what kind of subjectivity the Finnish curriculum strives to produce and how an avoidantly attached child relates to the curriculums goals. Methods. My research method is an integrative literature review, where I bring two separate discussions together about insecure attachments and the curriculums produced subjectivity and I examine how they relate to each other. By researching different sources I encapsulated scientific discussion how avoidant attachment and an avoidantly attached child are understood at the moment. In my literature review I utilized discourse analysis, which made possible to clarify the Finnish curriculums representations. In integrative analysis I examined attachment-representations related to curriculums subjectivity-representations clarifying their resemblances, differences and possible incoherences. As a result I got answers on how insecure attachment relates to the curriculums subjectivity. Results and conclusion. The results indicate that the Finnish curriculum aspires on getting rid of these teaching methods, where student receives the information from the teacher passively without critical examination or his own consideration. Current curriculum emphasizes on a student taking an active role and the importance of interaction in learning. However, curriculum does not consider that children enroll school from different baselines. The problem that arises for the avoidantly attached child is that they have already taken an active, independent role. The child is used to having no support from anyone, so they will not trust on getting support from adults, nor will they not ask for such. Schools encourage on increasingly independent and active roles, which might verify the childs perception that he has to fend on his own without an adults support. In the future research is needed on how schools can pay attention how to support a child who is insecurely attached.
