Secure attachment is a healthy emotional bond formed between a child and their primary caregiver, often a parent. This type of attachment develops when caregivers are consistently responsive, nurturing, and available, allowing the child to feel safe and understood. As a result, children with secure attachments are more likely to explore their environment confidently and develop strong social skills. In adulthood, individuals with secure attachment styles tend to have healthier relationships. They are comfortable with intimacy, can communicate their needs effectively, and are generally more resilient in the face of stress. This positive foundation often leads to better emotional regulation and overall well-being throughout life.
