Infographic: "What's secure attachment?"
To ensure that your child will feel secure, understood, and calm enough to experience optimal brain development, they need to have a secure attachment.
Secure attachment is the foundation for optimal social and emotional development in children. It allows children to build healthy relationships and explore the world and have a safe place to come back.
Depending on how discreet or introverted a child is, they might need more time and effort to start trusting the world and people around them.
To encourage secure attachment:
Have empathy when confirming your children’s needs.
Meet your children’s needs correctly and at the right time.
Help build multiple figures as your children’s secure attachment, including their fathers or grandparents.
The more stable and predictable the parents are, the safer the child's attachment becomes; otherwise, you are causing your child anxiety.
Until next time, friend.
