Description

Join Aniesa as she explores and explains the four parenting attachment styles and how attachment theory can impact parenting and the development of your child into adult life. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• As a parent, your presence is designed to make your child feel loved, safe, secure and protected and this leads to attachment. Attachment theory is how parents respond to their child's needs. 
• Attachment styles are working models of how our relationships function and how they are formed early on in our lives. If we can understand our relationships better, we stand a better chance of changing any negative aspects and just increasing the positive by accentuating the positive.
• There are four types of attachment styles secure, anxious-ambivalent, disorganised and avoidant.
• What we should all aim for is to be able to provide a really secure childhood attachment so that our kids can move on, feel secure and have really successful, fulfilling and intimate reciprocal relationships as adults. 

BEST MOMENTS 

“When you think about connecting with your child, it's not always as simple as an instant bond.”

“We learn through our experiences through our mistakes and our achievements.”

“High-risk psychosocial groups tend to develop disorganized, insecure attachment styles that display atypical behaviour.”

“Avoidant, dismissive and insecure attachments lead to a child becoming self-reliant and they want to figure out by themselves.”

ABOUT THE HOST

Aniesa completed her degree in Occupational Therapy at the University of Stellenbosch, in South Africa. She has since been focusing on paediatrics and sensory processing and integration. She has worked across a range of paediatric fields and has extensive experience in autism, specific learning difficulties, as well as anxiety and emotional regulation. 

Aniesa has one teenage son with autism, and one with sensory difficulties. She herself was diagnosed at a late age as having ADHD and has found that understanding her neurodivergence has led to a greater connection with children and their parents.
