Abstract
This literature review first examined the concept of attachment by examining studies on its neuroscience and the role of mindfulness in the psyche of individuals with attachment-like tendencies. More specifically, emphasis was placed on attachment between mother and infant, particularly the concept of prenatal and postnatal attachment. The aim of the present study is to establish the existence of attachment between mother and preschool children. A suitably designed questionnaire was used to conduct the study which will consist of questions answered by mothers of infants. From the results obtained, conclusions were drawn regarding the existence of attachment between the mother and the toddler. The collected data were entered into the SPSS program to test the statistical significance of the variables under consideration. Subsequently, the main objective was to inform teachers about the results and to adopt appropriate treatments to address and avoid attachment. According to the data collected it was shown that boys show ,greater attachment to mothers than girls According to the data collected it was shown that boys have a greater attachment to mothers than girls. This finding needs to be taken into consideration in order to have a more direct intervention for boys. Additionally, it was found that mothers were able to influence the infant in a stressful situation as they were able to calm and comfort the infant by returning to the same room with him. Furthermore, it was found that the mother's mental state directly influenced the infants who showed agitation and anxiety by observing their mother in this particular psychological state.
