Episode 134: Parenting Through Attachment with Michelle Charriere

Ever wondered what attachment parenting is and how it impacts your child? Believe it or not, you are already your child’s primary attachment and have been teaching them about healthy, or unhealthy, attachment since they were born. Because your child requires attachments to learn, grow, and thrive. 

Here to chat about parenting through attachment is Michelle Charriere. Michelle has her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Masters in Infant Family Practice and she is a trained Circle of Security Parenting Facilitator. She specializes in Birth-5 mental health which includes an emphasis on the attachment relationship. She is also the founder of Babies and Braines. 

Listen as we discuss what child attachment is and why it is so crucial for a child’s development and growth. We also go into how attachments can change and why a good foundation of attachment and boundaries will help foster independence as your child grows. 

In this episode, we discuss: 

What attachment is
When children form an attachment relationship
How many attachments a child can have
Whether or not attachments change
Assessing your child’s attachment style
