Understanding Attachment - Paula Sacks [276]

What is attachment theory? How can I help my child develop secure attachment? What if I don’t have a secure attachment style, myself? Today, I talk to Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Attachment Specialist, Paula Sacks. We discuss the importance of secure attachment and how the attachment a child develops with their primary caregiver sets the foundation for all future relationships.
