CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Attachment is where the child uses the primary caregiver as a secure base from which to explore and, when necessary, as a haven of safety and a source of comfort (5). Attachment is not ‘bonding’.

Detailed explanation-2: -The attachment bond is the emotional connection formed by wordless communication between an infant and you, their parent or primary caretaker.

Detailed explanation-3: -Attachment refers to a relationship bond between a child or young person and their primary caregiver. This bond is formed in the early years and has a long-term impact on a child’s sense of self, development, growth and future relationships with others.

Detailed explanation-4: -Children who have a ‘secure’ attachment are generally able to be comforted by their caregivers when distressed and to use their caregiver as what is known as a ‘secure base’ from which to explore their environment when they are not distressed.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer: “Bonding” is not the same as “attachment.” Parents bond with children; children attach to parents. Most parents bond quickly with their children. A child forms an attachment with each parent over time.
