Attachment is a deep and long-lasting relationship that develops between an infant and primary caregiver, usually a mother, in the early years.
Without an infant's needs for nurturing and comfort met, infants will not thrive.
Join Dr. Jill Franks, Ph.D., and Special Guest speaker, Annette Kussin, Author, Certified Social Worker, and Certified Marriage and Family Therapist as they discuss how over time, infants form attachments while interacting with their caregivers and how these experiences will hold expectations of relationships, beliefs about oneself and perceptions of others.
