Decades of research confirm the most important aspect of parenting is attachment.
What is “Secure Attachment”?
Secure attachment is a deep emotional bond between a child and their primary caregiver that fosters trust and resilience in children as they grow.
When parents are safe havens for their children, with clear boundaries and unconditional emotional support, their kids are better equipped to handle adolescence and adulthood from a confident, caring place.
Research shows children who have secure attachment with their primary caregivers are able to:
- Calm down easier
- Handle stress
- Navigate friendships
- Bounce back from setbacks
- Experience fewer mental health issues
- Believe in themselves
- Perform well in school
- Form loving relationships later

Creating secure attachment starts with belief in yourself
As parents, when we feel competent in our roles as caregivers, we’re more likely to provide the supportive connection, consistent boundaries, and nurtured autonomy our kids need. This doesn’t just make logical sense. Studies into Parental Self-Efficacy (PSE) — or belief in one’s abilities as a parent — have shown the stronger this belief in yourself, the better the outcomes for your children.
When you feel competent as a parent:
- Stress & anxiety decrease
- Communication skills improve
- Challenges become more manageable
- Parent-child bonds grow stronger
- Generational wellness becomes possible
“The moment you begin to actively discover the amazing personhood of your child, parenting starts to feel like less of a burden and more like an adventure.”
