Thanks for reading, Judy. I love finding a new addition for my writing toolbox, too. I'm grateful you found the series helpful.

You are too kind, Lani. As a teacher, I'm always so happy to find out when parents are actively learning ways to help their children in any area. Just today someone told me that it was always so easy to be around me, even when I wasn't at my best. I have my parents to thank for my secure attachment. Unfortunately, as a writer, that's put me at some disadvantage with what other people have gone through and have to deal with in their adult lives. After the first day of the attachment styles workshop I knew I'd found a powerful writing tool that would let me use science to build real, believable relationships between my characters.

Thanks for reading. I'll be back!

I wrote last time, that I found Attachment Theory quite awhile ago, and practice not only on my characters but with my family. Attachment Theory for children is all about ensuring that secure feeling in our kids, and it's been raising a lot of debate these last few years about breast feeding and co-sleeping, etc. I think there are some issues that I don't quite agree with as far as this kind of caring, but the majority of Attachment Theory I think not only is scientifically sound, unlike some other psychological fields of study, but just works. It's amazing to see my son play with other children, and how they are just drawn to him. He makes everyone happy and content. I think a large part of that is because I just happen to have the world's best kid, but some of it is me practicing the Attachment Theory, and always striving for him to be secure.

And when practicing this on my characters it is always more interesting to me when I throw in not secure characters together, but their wills to make things more secure--safe, trust, affection, welcoming, and love--for each other conquers all. However, I always have to make sure that when not secure characters are thrown in together they don't set each other off, and make each other worse for their time together. It's a balancing act, but so good!

I'm looking forward to your next installment!

Can we say "SOLD OUT" and could have sold MORE. 🙂 I loved it!!!
