This is the strongest type of attachment according to experts. A child in this category feels he can depend on his parent or provider. He knows that person will be there when he needs support. He knows what to expect.
How do adults build secure attachment relationship? Adults are consistent when they responds to the child’ needs from diapers, milk, clothing, vitamins, walkers, shelter, carriers and many more. When a child cries, the adult responds in a lovingly or caring way. When a child is afraid, the adult is there to take care of him. When a child is excited about something, the adults are excited about it, too.
Over time, a securely attached child has learned that he can rely on special adults to be there for him. He knows that, if he ever needs of something, someone will be there to help. A child who believes this can then learn other things. He will use special adults as a secure base, will smile at the adult and come to him to get a hug. Then he will move out and explore his world.
