Attachment Theory outlines four attachment styles formed during the first 18 months of life: one secure and three insecure—anxious, avoidant, and disorganized (fearful/avoidant). Each style, deeply rooted in childhood experiences, continues to influence our adult relationships and parenting behaviors.
