I want my child to be able to see things from others’ perspectives and feel empathy for others. Although the circumstances I faced when I was younger was not ideal and caused me to face many hardships, I should have been more understanding and empathetic during that time. I believe that I had a secure attachment to my mother and an avoidant attachment to my father in my early childhood. My mother was always emotionally attuned and available whenever I needed her and was extremely open and caring. As a result, I have developed the sense of caring for others and being confident in my independence. My attachment to my father would be considered avoidant because he was not emotionally available to me and constantly shut me down. I was not very close to him and his actions made me a more independent person that relied more on myself than on
