Relation of Child's Attachment with Proximity Relationships in Family

Attachment is valuable for a child for purposes of security and self-preservation, his future behavior and socialization. Our research, conducted in the framework of inter-generational transmission of individual's relations system, investigates the co- relation between indicators of attachment and affection of mothers and grandmothers and child's attachment to his mother. The study involved 30 triads (child – mother – grandmother). The results revealed that mothers’ and grandmothers’ confidence in significant person's responsiveness and reliability is connected with child's emotional sensitivity increase. The results indicate the joint behavior strategy in “mother/close adult–child” system which is necessary to consider in professional work.
