"The secure base persists as an internal presence throughout the life span."
"The secure base persists as an internal presence throughout the life span."
"The infant's first relationship - the attachment to the mother - is the template for all of the infant's subsequent relationships and thus a model of all future relationships."
"Attachment is not spoiling; it is the foundation of secure and independent growth."
"A secure attachment in infancy is the greatest gift a parent can give a child."
"The quality of infant-parent attachment determines the quality of the child's later relationships."
