Safe Parenting Ep 5.30

from MegAnne is NOT a parent, but... · host MegAnne Ford

Inside this series exploring the four qualities of a secure attachment bond, we're discussing the dance between rupture and repair. Ruptures are mistakes, moments of dysregulation, outbursts, frustration, or anger. These moments are natural and human. In a secure relationship, we come back together and do the repair work, recovering from those ruptures. Therefore, when navigating attachment and building secure attachment, we become curious about the quality of our comfortability with rupture and repair. To remind everyone, attachment theory focuses on the quality of the attachment bond that affects your child's development – mentally, physically, intellectually, emotionally, and socially. Importantly, a caregiver's attachment to the child actually starts long before the child forms an attachment to the caregiver. These attachments develop differently for each person. In my work, platform, classes, and this podcast, we shift your perspective as the parent or caregiver. We elevate the child's perspective because in a secure relationship, we're looking at whether the child has a safe haven (or "safe face to land") to return to after a rupture.
