Attachment and Authenticity - The Child's Two Great Needs
Attachment is...
Attachment is the connection the child forms with her Mum – or whoever stands in for her if it can't be the the Mum – immediately after birth. From the emotional safety of this connection, the child begins to get to know others AND themselves over the next weeks, months and years.
Authenticity is...
Authenticity is the child's connection with their true self, with their inner self. If your child has to put your needs before hers to 'keep you happy' she automatically - but not consciously - makes the decision to suppress her own gut feelings, and then she loses authentic self. - unknown
