impact of secure relationships on children’s well-being The impact of attachment: Bowlby’s theory suggests that all children are biologically pre-programmed to form relationships and attachments with others before they are even born for survival and that the fear of strangers in babies and young children represents an important survival mechanism, built in by nature. Bowlby used part of Lorenz’s (1935) study that shows that attachment is innate in young ducklings and therefore has survival…

The formation of secure and healthy friendships is a very important milestone in adolescence (Johnson, 2004). It is especially important to the mental health of adults, as friends are the main support system they have at this time (Kessler et al., 2003).

As well as to our client Patrick, we are able to relate to young adulthood because he is in the young adulthood stage and is…
