Can there be “too much” or “too little” when it comes to attachment? What are the warning signs that parents should take note of before “too much” or “too little” attachment becomes an issue in their child’s future?

of course, well-meaning parents may also overdo it, believing they need to meet the child’s every request, which can be exhausting and counterproductive. A secure attachment also involves your child feeling secure enough to explore the world, essential to growth and development. So allow them to explore, and give them the room to fail. When they do, they trust that they can come back to you for support.
