Ok I've had a go am I on the right track?

Babies need love and attention from the day they are born, it is essential for the development of good mental health, the ability to form good relationships and to learn to develop in the best possible way. Carers must provide love and comfort e.g. being warm and giving physical affectation and reassurance and respond to the baby’s physical needs. Babies who have these loving and caring early relationships will have confidence in their carer’s availability and responsiveness and therefore feel safe and secure. This helps them feel more confident to explore the environment around them because they know have a safe person to return to when they need to. Attachment theory shows that children need good attachments with their main carers to be able to develop into individuals who feel safe, secure and loved, and can then develop and learn at a faster rate than a child who is anxious, fearful and lacking in confidence. Children learn a lot through observation so by watching and feeling how their carer response to them, they begin to learn important skills needed to make friendships and control their emotions. This leads to them being more confident, well rounded adults who are able to cope better with stress and changes in their lives.

You've made a start. You need to talk more about attachment theory and credit it!! Explain means give examples. Key person eyes etc. What do you do?
