Attachment theory is getting a lot of consideration today because it speaks to our deepest fears that we are not paying enough attention to our infants and children. Children need caring adults to hold, watch, and interact with them on a daily basis, in order for them to learn how to develop healthy, enjoyable relationships. Mary Ainsworth, a Canadian/American developmental psychologist, demonstrated through her research, that children develop attachment “styles” and these attachment “styles” become a template for all our intimate relationships. Subsequent research has confirmed that the attachment styles developed in the first two years of life, powerfully affect a child’s confidence, self-esteem, and quality of intimate relationships, and that these attachment styles are resistant to change.
