Do you ever worry about whether your child feels secure with you—or with your coparent? You're not alone. While there isn’t a simple questionnaire to measure a child's sense of security, attachment theory provides valuable insights into how children form relationships with their caregivers.

In this episode, we discuss the Strange Situation—a groundbreaking assessment developed by Mary Ainsworth to evaluate a child's attachment style. We break down what different attachment styles reveal about the parent-child relationship and their long-term effects on emotional well-being.

Key Takeaways:
🔹 Secure Attachment: Indicates a responsive, emotionally available caregiver. Leads to healthy relationships and emotional regulation.
🔹 Insecure-Avoidant Attachment: Suggests emotional distance from the caregiver. Can result in difficulty with intimacy and emotional expression.
🔹 Insecure-Resistant/Ambivalent Attachment: Reflects inconsistency in caregiving, leading to anxiety and excessive clinginess.
🔹 Disorganized Attachment: Often linked to fear, neglect, or trauma, creating confusion and emotional struggles in the child.
