Episode notes
Source of Security
- Secure attachment stems from a parent's internal security, not specific actions like breastfeeding or co-sleeping.
- Attachment is a biological system, like digestion, that cues a child to seek safety from their caregiver.
Self-Improvement
- Focus on changing yourself, not your child, to improve your relationship.
- Change your internal dialogue, as that's the first conversation you have each day.
Subtle Connection
- Bethany Saltman witnessed a "downtrodden" mother and daughter in a Strange Situation experiment.
- The child, initially distressed upon separation, was quickly soothed by the mother's presence despite the mother's low affect.
