Parent-child Connection – Emotional Synchronization and Playing; a Possible Model to Combat the Child's Unsafe Attachment

Abstract

Attachment is a universal principle in nature, especially in men – the superior social beings -, building the basis for his adaptation to environment. The attachment matrix is shaped in childhood, in the primary child- parent/caretaker relationship. Safe attachment, generated by parents offering stimulation, care and affection, secures and supports children in conquering the environment through firm explorations, ensures their mental balance and, in the long term, the emotional wellness of the future adults. Experience has consolidated our idea that parents, through lifelong education, may be supported to know the importance of attachment. Our study presents some modalities to train parents for tackling attachment problems.
