According to Dr. Dan Siegel, clinical professor of psychiatry, secure attachment develops when children repeatedly experience being Seen, Safe, Soothed and Secure : the 4 "S's" of Secure Attachment.
These experiences help shape a child's developing brain and create the foundation for emotional resilience, healthy relationships and self-confidence.
In this video, Melanie Vigier de Latour-Berenger, psychosociologist, introduces the first "S": Seen.
To feel seen is more than being looked at.
It means feeling understood, accepted and valued for who we are. When parents are emotionally present, attentive and responsive to their child's feelings and needs, they send a powerful message:
"I see you. You matter. Your feelings make sense."
These everyday moments of connection help children develop a strong sense of self, emotional security and trust in their relationships.
