Understanding Attachment in Children and Its Impact on Relationships

Abstract

Author(s):

Attachment, a fundamental aspect of human development, shapes the way children perceive, interpret, and engage in relationships throughout their lives. Formed in the early years of infancy, attachment influences emotional regulation, social interactions, and the ability to form secure and meaningful connections with others. In this article, we explore the concept of attachment in children, its various forms, and its profound impact on their relationships in childhood and beyond.
