A proposal to promote secure attachments establishment: Initial Education
Abstract
Attachment is an affective bond established during the first months of life towards the primary caregiver, usually the mother. Some characteristics of this bond depend on many factors, such as maternal sensitivity, availability, and synchrony. Multiple strategies enhance the strengthening of these affective and social bonds early in life. For this reason, the initial education could be a space of opportunity for the prevention, detection, and early intervention, hence enabling the possibility of having improved environments that provide the required conditions for the establishment of secure attachments which allow infants to fully develop.
