        The most appealing attachment theory to parents would have to be undoubtedly hands down, the Secure attachment theory. This is the best most positive way to raise a child no matter what type of culture or background you are from. It provides the very best for your growing infant in so many aspects. It will help with them feeling comfortable when you provide a good environment to learn this huge place called the world. Infants need a nice secure place to live in that is quiet for when they are sleeping/napping. Environmental concerns become a factor also such as being bale to have heat for the winter to keep them warm and comfortable to the summer the house needs to be cool to keep from getting too hot, infants are still trying to get temperature regulation in check and can get cold when the parent is hot even and can go the opposite also.

The best advice to give parents is to start making a secure place to stay such as having a separate room for them to have a place for a crib and to make it a good safe place such as making sure that the electrical outlets have caps in them to even having a gate ready before they even start walking so you do not have to run around when you most need it.  Even making the rest of the house secure such as the doors and even windows having screens in them especially if the room is on a second floor or higher.

The most important thing for a baby is to make sure they are being fed and getting enough nutrition for all over growth when they most need it. Where it means the most is to provide the very best positive atmosphere starts with interacting and holding your baby as much as you can when they are awake. Even doing skin to skin contact makes the infant feel much more comfortable and will have a better feeling with being more attached when they need it most. Playtime with rattles and toys even having mobiles above their bed helps with soothing them to nice calm music for them to sleep or fall asleep to can mean so much also.
