Attachment book – recommended for parents

Fixation of attachment is necessary when there has been a breakdown in the mother’s instinctive behavior, this can be observed with postpartum depression. And such a wonderful book as “Always Together” by Beth Shoshen is a good assistant in a long therapeutic robot to restore the child’s perception. What is deeply analyzed in the attachment theories of Ainsworth and Bowlby. Parents can do more good, argue Ainsworth and Bowlby, if they give children the opportunity to follow their own interests. Often parents can do this simply by being available to the child, providing him with a reliable starting point in his research. For example, when a little girl wants to climb a big rock or take a dip in the surf, the presence of a parent is necessary for the safety of the child and for assistance if needed. But the child does not need the supervision and instructions of the parent. All he needs is the availability of a patient parent. This alone gives him the necessary confidence to boldly master new activities and explore the world himself.
As children mature, they can successfully spend longer and longer periods of time completely separated from their primary caregivers. Five-year-olds can go to school for half a day or more, and teenagers can spend weeks or even months away from home. However, we all navigate life’s challenges with the greatest confidence when we know that we have a home, kept by our family or companions, to which we can return. “All of us, from cradle to grave, are happiest when life is organized as a series of excursions, long or short, from some secure starting point provided by our object(s) of attachment” (Bowlby, 1988, p, 62 ).
