What’s Your Attachment Style?

Attachment is the notion that interactions with primary caregivers in early childhood create internal working models in our brains that later impact how we view ourselves, view others, and view relationships in adulthood. Attachment causes us to communicate and react to the communication of others in certain ways. Understanding attachment can help individuals better understand the people in their lives and better cultivate the relationships they have with these people.

• Background of attachment theory

• Science behind attachment

• Importance of attachment

• How to cultivate attachment as a parent based on your child’s age

• How attachment impacts your behaviors and communication in relationships throughout life

• How attachment develops and changes throughout the lifespan

Learning about the science of attachment can help you better understand yourself, the people in your life, and the relationships that you have with those people. In fact, developing a secure attachment bond with your child has been argued by experts as one of the most important things you can do as a parent. Further, research has shown that a secure attachment is the best possible foundation for healthy physical, emotional, intellectual, and social development throughout life. Even if you’re not a parent, understanding the science of attachment can improve your communication, your outlook on life, and your growth as a person.
