True words from @gabormatemd – BUT it is essential to interpret this insight without guilt or judgment, especially for any parents who must work full time or juggle multiple responsibilities. He is just emphasising how critical the early years are for a child’s emotional development, particularly in forming a strong attachment with caregivers.

The takeaway is not that you have to be with your child 24/7 or that it’s too late if circumstances have made this challenging. Instead, the focus is on the ‘quality’ of your interactions with your child, no matter how much time you have. Even small, consistent moments of connection – like playing together, sharing a laugh, or having undistracted conversations – can build a secure attachment.

I think for working parents, this might mean carving out intentional moments during a busy day, like bedtime routines, breakfast chats, or weekend activities. It’s not about being perfect or meeting an impossible standard but about prioritising connection in ways that are meaningful and manageable for your family.

This isn’t about perfection – it’s about presence, however that looks for your situation ❤️
