Episode 311: Understanding Attachment Styles with David Thomas and Sissy Goff
Attachment has become a buzzword in parenting circles—but what does it really mean for your kids and your family? In this episode, we unpack the history of attachment theory, clear up common misconceptions, and share practical ways to think about what your child truly needs.
We’ll cover:
Why “attachment” has resurfaced as such a hot topic.
How attachment impacts early development and later relationships.
The difference between holding information wisely vs. fearfully.
The four styles of attachment—starting with what a secure attachment looks like.
Real-life examples of how parents can unintentionally give fear too much power.
Whether you’ve ever worried about separation anxiety, or just wondered, “Am I doing enough for my child?”—this episode will help you breathe easier and focus on what matters most.
