Attachment and Parent-Child Relationships
Attachment between parents and children takes on different forms, with mothers often being the primary attachment figure due to biological factors. This attachment is characterized by whole body presence, emotional attunement, and calm nervous system regulation. Fathers can also form secure attachments but may engage in more activity-based connections. The goal is to maintain open lines of communication, creating a safe space for children to express their thoughts and feelings, even when they point out areas where parents may have made mistakes.
