Parent-Child Secure Attachment

Secure attachment fosters resilience, social skills, emotional regulation, and self-confidence, benefits that last into adulthood.
Tips for building attachment:
- Be emotionally available: listen without judgment, provide a nurturing environment, and normalize emotions by sharing your own.
- Repair ruptures quickly: mistakes happen; acknowledging and addressing them strengthens trust and security.
- Be consistent: routines and reliability help children feel stable and develop responsibility for later life.
- Prioritize your own well-being: healthy sleep, nutrition, exercise, and hobbies not only help parents but also model good habits for children.
Consistency and modeling self-care establish structure for both parent and child, strengthening attachment and promoting long-term well-being.
