Children form a connection, or an attachment, with their caregiver in the early stages of life. Attachments are critical for children to have growing up in order for them to form trust and regulate emotions.

Like duct tape, children are meant to stick to one place, or with their caregiver, for their entire childhood. But what happens when that attachment is broken?

In this video, foster parent Wendy discusses how children shuffled around in foster care can gradually stop attaching. However, children are different from duct tape in that they have the ability to learn to reattach. It takes hard work from both the parent and child to build that trust back up over time.
