Types of attachment
Secure Attachments
Secure attachments with a primary caregiver have positive impacts on a number of factors in a young person’s life. Most importantly, young people who rated positive attachments with mum also reported a lower amount of violence. Therefore, focusing on attachment can build a protective factor against future violence within the home.
More specifically, secure attachments have been linked to:
- Positive future relationships
- Increased performance at school
- Positive peer relationships
- Increased self-esteem
- Positive future parenting
- Increased emotional regulation, which is important with trauma
