Unit 7 – Attachment Through the Life Course
Personal Reflections
Reflection 1 – Childhood Attachment
I learned that early relationships with caregivers can affect how children feel safe and supported. This made me think about how important parenting is.
Reflection 2 – Secure Attachment
Secure attachment helped me understand why some people feel comfortable trusting others and forming healthy relationships.
Reflection 3 – Adult Relationships
I was surprised that attachment styles continue into adulthood and can affect dating and friendships.
Reflection 4 – Attachment Can Change
I liked learning that attachment is not permanent. People can still develop healthy relationships later in life.
