Attachment forms the foundation of all human relationships, beginning with our earliest bonds to caregivers and shaping how we connect with others throughout our lives. The quality of care we receive in our first three years creates a template through which we view all future relationships, determining whether we see the world as safe and trustworthy or dangerous and unpredictable.
• Attachment is the primary relationship we have with our caregiver and shapes all future relationships
• Secure attachment forms when caregivers consistently respond to a baby's needs with attunement
• Quality of interactions matters—soft tones, loving eyes, and gentle rocking create a "somatosensory bath"
• Modern parenting challenges include technology distractions, reduced family support, and increased caregiver-to-child ratios
• Children with secure attachment typically experience 30+ positive adult interactions daily versus only 6 for insecurely attached children
• How we perceive the world influences how we move through it—we elicit from others what we expect from them
• Helping traumatized children heal requires respect for boundaries, appropriate proximity, and patient relationship-building
• Faith formation tends to mirror attachment patterns, with securely attached children more likely to develop secure spiritual connections
Join us next week as we dive deeper into secure attachment and continue our series on the science of human connection.
