Course Overview
This course helps parents and caregivers understand how secure attachment forms, why it matters across the lifespan, and how everyday moments of responsive care shape a child’s emotional wellbeing, brain development, and sense of safety. The course translates research into clear, compassionate guidance you can use from pregnancy through childhood and beyond.
