INSIGHT

Attachment Theory

Attachment theory posits that early childhood bonds with caregivers significantly impact our emotional development.
These bonds, or attachment styles, are shaped by caregivers' consistency, responsiveness, and sensitivity.

INSIGHT

Secure Attachment

Secure attachment develops when caregivers are consistently responsive and emotionally available.
This fosters a sense of safety and confidence, enabling the child to explore the world without fear of abandonment.

INSIGHT

Anxious Attachment

Anxious attachment stems from inconsistent caregiving, where responsiveness and neglect fluctuate.
This leads to hypervigilance, a constant need for reassurance and approval to feel secure.
