As parents, we worry and wonder if we are doing the right thing to support our children’s development from infant to adulthood. The Circle of Security Programme looks at attachment and building positive relationships. John Bowlby explained that “Intimate attachments to other human beings are the hub around which a person’s life revolves, not only as an infant or a toddler or a schoolchild but throughout adolescence and years of maturity as well, and on into old age. From these intimate attachments a person draws strength and enjoyment of life and, through what he contributes, gives strength and enjoyment to others. These are matters about which current science and traditional wisdom are at one.”(Bowlby, J. (1980) Attachment and Loss: Volume 1. Attachment. Basic Books: New York.)
