How do attachment styles affect parenting?
The “working model” of relationships that a securely attached child forms is that they can trust others to be there for them when they need them. Children who form a secure attachment grow up better able to maintain their unique sense of identity, while still being able to connect with others.
Parents who form a secure attachment see their child as a separate person and tend to be able to attune to the child’s needs. They’re able to empathize with the child’s experience and remain present or “be there” for the child. This doesn’t mean the parent has to be perfect. No one is attuned to their child 24/7.
