“The attachment figure is intended to be the source of joy, connection, and emotional soothing,” according to Daniel Siegel (2017). “Instead, the experience of the child who develops a disorganized attachment is such that the caregiver is actually the source of alarm, fear, and terror, so the child cannot turn to the attachment figure to be soothed.” Because attachment is linked to attunement and being adequately cared for as a child, attachment without attunement is not enough for optimal development. Proper development and the process of attunement have very little to do with having the right clothes, enough food, or adequate shelter. Instead, attunement is the ability of a caregiver to adequately and consistently respond to the child’s nonverbal cues for attention and regulation. It means that our nonverbal responses and distress cues are met appropriately. It is something that occurs between a caregiver and a child that has to be consistent and positive and constant.”
