Attachment Styles

The concept I found interesting in Chapter 2 is the patterns of caregiving that teach us who we and others are, also known as attachment styles. I truly believe that we learn most of the attachment styles from our parents and other family members. Since we spend all the time living with our family members in our earlier life, we basically absorb all the things that they have told us. As a little child, we would not disagree with their theories, because we do not have that much thinking yet, and we always truly trust them. In addition, the first bond of attachment styles is really important since that is what we have first learnt and according to the text, it also forms the child’s foundation for later relationship. Just like mathematics, we need to have a good foundation of algebra 1 in order to go on to algebra 2, otherwise, you can hardly pass algebra 2. Therefore, parents need to make sure they communicate through attachment styles really well before their child go on to later relationship.
