Su niño pequeño quiere ser independiente, pero el mundo puede ser un lugar aterrador. Solo tenerte cerca le da la confianza para saber que puede volver cuando lo necesite. Este sentimiento de seguridad no ocurre de la noche a la mañana. Es un proceso llamado apego y comienza cuando su hijo es un bebé y continúa fortaleciéndose a medida que crece.
