ADVICE

Changing Insecure Attachment

  • Focus less on changing attachment and more on understanding how it formed.
  • Consider what needs were unmet when insecure patterns developed.
INSIGHT

Unmet Needs and Insecure Attachment

  • Insecure attachment develops when needs like being seen, safe, soothed, and secure go unmet.
  • This leads to short-term tactics that hinder long-term growth.
ADVICE

Developing X-Ray Vision

  • Parents should develop "x-ray vision" to see the needs behind children's behaviors.
