I think the importance of attachment is much greater than anybody can think of. The attachment starts from the strong relationship between the mother and the child. If this fails, the child is cannot learn the right relationship that he or she needs to build when he becomes a parent. They do not know how to love or give love to their children. Secondly, the family is the microscopic idea of society. Therefore, whatever you learn from your family will be applied to the macroscopic society that we are living in. If you do not learn it properly within the family, the child is not going to deal with the society in a right way when they grew. When going through teenage years, teenagers revel against their parents and the society. They have lots of angers and fluctuations in emotion. All children will face this period of time in their life. However, the magnitude will vary from child to child depend on how much attachment they have built with their parents. Attachment is the fundamental trust with the family. Therefore, even if the child might go into the wrong direction during their teeange year, the child with a strong attachment is likely to come back, while the less attached child have less probability to come back on a right track.
