Fostering Secure Attachment

With our Pediatric Sleep Consultant, Postpartum Doula, and New Parent Educator, Jaquie Dason



At Frame Fidelity Family, we understand how important it is for new parents to create a nurturing environment for their little ones. A fundamental aspect of this journey is fostering secure attachment between parents and their children. But what does secure attachment really mean, and why is it so essential?


Secure attachment is the positive and enduring bond between caregivers and children, characterized by love, warmth, and responsiveness. This bond lays the groundwork for children to develop trust, feel safe, regulate their emotions, build confident social relationships, and ultimately explore the world independently.


As a Pediatric Sleep Consultant, Postpartum Doula, and New Parent Educator, my role is to help you understand the significance of secure attachment and provide you with the tools to cultivate it. One effective way we can achieve this is by learning to interpret your baby’s cues, movements, and behaviors and responding with empathy and understanding. When your baby cries, they are communicating a need, and your compassionate response nurtures that secure attachment.


Through responsive caregiving, you will deepen your understanding of your baby’s needs, leading to more appropriate and timely responses. This positive cycle fosters trust, helping your baby learn that their caregivers will consistently meet their needs and strengthen the parent-child connection.


You can further enhance this secure attachment by engaging in simple yet meaningful interactions with your baby. Touch, eye contact, singing, rocking, and speaking warmly are all powerful ways to deepen your bond. These everyday actions not only help your baby feel loved and secure but also promote healthy development and emotional well-being.


By following your instincts and forming secure attachments with your children, you will enhance your early parenting experience and contribute to the development of happier, more confident children. Together, let’s empower you to cultivate secure attachments that will benefit your family for a lifetime.
