The Impact of Childhood Attachment on Faith and Parenting

A child needs to experience the unconditional love of their caregiver, for it is through this bond that they learn what it means to feel safe, valued, and seen. Healthy attachment between a child and their caregiver is foundational. It is in this space of security that a child’s nervous system can develop properly, learning to regulate emotions, manage stress, and form relationships built on trust and mutual respect.
