Helping Children Form Healthy Attachments

Building the Foundation for Strong Lifelong Relationships

Helping Children Form Healthy Attachments is a practical guide for parents, caregivers, and early childhood educators who want to understand how secure attachment develops during the first six years of life.

Children need safety, trust, belonging, self-confidence, and the freedom to explore the world. These qualities grow through healthy relationships—with themselves, their caregivers, other people, animals, and the natural world.

Drawing on her experience as an educator, Loïs Eijgenraam explains how attachment develops in young children, what helps children feel securely connected, and how adults can support this process in everyday life. Practical guidance and real-life examples make the book especially useful for families, preschools, childcare settings, and Waldorf-inspired early childhood environments.
