Helping Children Form Healthy Attachments - Building the Foundation for Strong Lifelong Relationships

Safety, feeling at home, trust, self-confidence, creativity and comfort in exploring the world are things all children should have.

From an early age, children form attachments that become the foundation for their future relationships. Strong bonds with their world (parents, educators, plants, and animals) must begin with a healthy connection to themselves.

With practical tips and real-life examples from an experienced educator, this insightful book explores how the process of healthy attachment develops in young children (until six years old), what conditions are needed for becoming well bonded, and how care providers and educators can help in this important process.
