Is Your Child Too Attached? Understanding Secure Attachment 🧸

That's not really how that works... having a secure attachment, a special, trusting emotional bond, between a child and their caregiver is important. This kind of relationship is key to healthy development according to many psychotherapists.
Children who have secure attachments tend to be happier, kinder, more socially competent, and more trusting of others, and they have better relations with parents, siblings, and friends. They do better in school, stay physically healthier, and create more fulfilling #relationships as adults.

And it's simple. 1) provide comfort when needed and 2) offering the freedom to explore when desired.

A secure attachment is a “confidence and trust in the goodness of me, you, us” that a person carries throughout their daily life. It is the sense of being loved and supported no matter what happens. And when children feel secure, a world of possibilities opens up.
I've got two teens who are products of this who are now some of the most secure and confident individuals who have no problem doing things out in their own and thinking they can take over the world! And who knows, maybe they will!
