Synopsis

As a parent, have you ever wondered:
“Why is my child so clingy and fearful?” 
“Why won’t my child open up to me?” 
“Why is my child emotional one day and withdrawn the next?”

You may have also felt like this sometimes:
“I’m so busy and stressed. It’s hard to be the parent I know I can be.”
“It’s uncomfortable to praise or express my love to my child.”
“The world is a dangerous place. I need to protect my child.”

Attachment styles are formed when we are around 12 to 20 months old. While there is a genetic component, the behaviour of our caregivers plays a significant part in determining whether we have a secure, anxious, avoidant or disorganised attachment style. Our attachment styles then shape the way we think of ourselves and other people, and our relationships with them. Understanding your own attachment style and the conditions that create secure attachment will help you to be conscious about the way you parent your child.

In this webinar, psychotherapist Eunice Tan will cover:
- An overview of attachment theory 
- The five primary conditions that create secure attachment in children: safety, attunement, comfort, expressing delight and encouraging exploration 
- The three insecure attachment patterns and the caregiving behaviours that contribute to them 
- How your attachment style influences your own caregiving behaviour 
- How to heal your own insecure attachment 
- The Ideal Parent Figure protocol – a powerful method for directly creating secure attachment in adults 
- How to parent in a way that creates securely attached children
