When I think about secure attachment in a child, I think about the steady emotional foundation that helps them feel safe, supported, and understood.
I see that kind of security show up in everyday ways: a child who feels confident exploring, resilient when things get hard, and emotionally intelligent enough to express big feelings with trust and connection.
