Why children feel safer with their mother
Children instinctively seek their mothers for comfort due to early patterns of care, sensory familiarity, and consistent emotional responsiveness. This creates a "secure base" where vulnerability is accepted. While mothers are often the primary caregiver, research shows children can form secure attachments with other consistent caregivers as well.
