I agree with the views of the authors as they demonstrate the factors which influence attachment among parents and children. Meins suggests that the attachment among parents and children can be maintained only through goal-corrected partnership, the children can signify and act in response to someone's standpoint at a very young age (Meins, Bureau, & Fernyhough, 2018). According to the research of Ainsworth and Bell showed the presence of mother inspired the exploratory actions in children while absence suppressed such behavior. While the mother was not in sight of a child, crying and searching by the child was observed (Ainsworth & Bell, 1970). There are typically two types of family patterns. One of them is the nuclear family, which consists of parents and their children. The second type is extended family, where other relatives like grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins live with the nuclear family. Both family types differ in the extent of freedom, responsibility, and other advantages or disadvantages. The attachment among parents and children is stronger as compared to attachment with relatives. However, the attachment between parents and children is based upon the parenting style. More attachment of children with family is observed in the extended family as compared to the nuclear family. When children interact with another relative than the parent, they avail more opportunities to grow attachment. In this way, communication and understanding among family members improve ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"Hp8f0J0C","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Berk, 2017)","plainCitation":"(Berk, 2017)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":757,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/YgsdZK9k/items/K6IJTFA8"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/YgsdZK9k/items/K6IJTFA8"],"itemData":{"id":757,"type":"book","abstract":"For courses in Human Development Unparalleled Among Human Development Texts — In a Class by Itself With its seamless integration of up-to-date research, strong multicultural and cross-cultural focus, and clear, engaging narrative, Development Through the Lifespan has established itself as the market’s leading text.

The children learn that other than parents, in difficult times, they can rely on their family members too. The strong attachment between children and relatives can strengthen or, in some cases, weaken the attachment of children with parents.
The children are inexperienced due to which they lose confidence or get terrified easily. To develop secure attachment, consistent and affectionate boundaries setting is vital. Through this intervention, the child will understand the expectation of caregiver or parent and also be aware of penalties resulting from undesired behavior. It is important to develop realistic expectations from children and not impose an additional burden. Support of a child with attachment issues and development of secure attachment, both processes are extensive and require great effort. So, it is important to consider only manageable targets, while every phase requires focus. Celebrating every achievement or improvement also plays a significant role.
