Description

Parenting can feel like a rollercoaster — equal parts joy and chaos.


We often second-guess ourselves: Am I doing this right? Am I messing my kid up forever?


Trust us, you are not alone.


And maybe you’ve heard the term “attachment” thrown around in parenting circles — the deep emotional bond that can form between a child and their primary caregivers.


But what does it really mean? And how does it shape a child’s development?


MPR News guest host Kelly Gordon and early childhood education reporter Kyra Miles talk with a developmental psychologist about how to create parent-child attachment and how to know if we’re getting it right.
