Secure base in childhood

A secure base in childhood—a person or place where a child knows they are safe, seen, and will be returned to—allows them to venture out into the world, explore, take risks, and learn. Without it, so much energy goes into anxiety that learning itself becomes impossible; with it, everything becomes possible.
