Presently there is a tsunami of information about attachment theory and healthy attachment coming to light in both the psychological and spiritual communities. As a result many parents are becoming over vigilant about attachment and this anxiety too can get translated to the child. Yes we live in the age of helicopter parenting. So it can be hard for todays parents to know what natural attachment is. Healthy attachment sets the stage for what is called object constancy so that the child can mature naturally. And sometimes our scientific notions of the mind of the child does not include the necessary ingredients for healthy attachment. I know, because I am part of a generation of people who were raised by parents persuaded by Dr. Benjamin Spock to touch their children only once a day. What lunacy. I am so, so lucky my own mother did what her heart wanted to do. So many other people were raised by wire monkeys. youtube/watch?v=apzXGEbZht0&feature=youtu.be
