The role of parents is crucial in this. The child with the parents (or parent) who are loving and tolerant, however, able to establish and implement clear and reasonable limits likely to develop high self-esteem and a secure attachment to parents who provide a secure attachment model of others in later life. The theory of “attachment” was first described by John Bowlby in the 1950s. It stems from his study of young children separated from their mothers in the hospital. attachment behavior begins about 7 months and is clinging and unwillingness to separate from the primary caregiver, usually the mother. Serves to strengthen the bond between mother and son and has a role in the evolution of the protection of children against predators. A child is secured in position to use the mother as a secure base from which to explore the outside world can begin, and will also be able to react well to short-term separations. If the attachment is poor because the father does not meet the needs of children for care or detention, or is inconsistent, the child will be challenged to explore and separation.
This pattern of insecure attachment may persist throughout life, affecting adult relationships.
