Attachment theory, developed by John Bowlby, emphasizes the importance of emotional bonds in a child’s development. When children form secure relationships with their caregivers, they gain the confidence needed to explore their surroundings and develop independence.

In an educational context, secure attachment is linked to better concentration, greater resilience in the face of challenges, and improved social skills. Teachers and parents play a crucial role by providing a supportive environment and responding to children’s emotional needs.

Promoting a school environment based on listening, empathy, and understanding fosters self-confidence and academic success. Recognizing emotions and encouraging positive relationships also strengthen students’ sense of belonging.

By incorporating attachment theory into educational practices, we support not only children’s cognitive growth but also their emotional well-being, preparing them to face life’s challenges.
