Attachment and bonding with your children are very important, especially in early childhood. Attachment and Bonding directly impact the way a child interacts with the world around them. A parent and child’s relationship strengthens as the parents respond to the child’s needs through affection, sensitivity and providing a soothing response when they are unhappy.

Bonding is about the strong surge of feelings mothers feel, during the pregnancy or after the birth, towards their baby. Attachment is about the baby feeling safe and secure.
