Attachment Theory (von Wiki, ToDo!)

The attachment relationship is one of the main drivers of human development and learning [1]. In the first instance, this security is generated through the attachment relationship between children and their primary caregivers, usually their parents. Children develop secure attachments when primary caregivers are a secure base for exploration and a haven of safety in the face of danger and emotional distress [2]. Those children who establish a secure attachment also develop better social, cognitive, and emotional competencies and better school achievement than those who show an insecure attachment ([3], [4]). In addition, children with an insecure attachment are more likely to develop behavioral problems, emotional or personality disorders, school underachievement, or early school dropout (i.e., [5], [3], [6]).
