"Whether people generally have easy, close, and loving attachments or needy, clingy, complicated ones, or whether they find it hard to attach at all or kid themselves that they are better off alone, is, according to attachment theory, rooted in how they were related to as babies. The four main styles of forming bonds are: secure attachment style, insecure/ambivalent attachment style, avoidant attachment style, and dismissive attachment style. What you want to foster in your baby is a secure attachment style." - Philippa Perry
