The correlation between better well being and secure attachment can also be related due to the fact that there is a tendency for mothers from middle class backgrounds as well as higher class backgrounds allow their children to explore more freely. While the mothers from lower income levels tend to be afraid of their children failing and help them too much causing interference. This may lead to variations in attachment levels in the children, but also later in life due to better backgrounds the more secure children will receive better educations and have higher well-being.
