attachment and biobehavioral catch-up

Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-up (ABC) is a therapy aimed at helping caregivers build strong, nurturing relationships with children who have experienced neglect or inconsistent care. The approach encourages caregivers to respond promptly and warmly to their child's needs, promoting a sense of safety and trust. This positive interaction supports healthy brain development and emotional regulation in children, especially those who have faced early hardships. ABC focuses on fostering secure attachments, which are crucial for a child's long-term emotional well-being and ability to form healthy relationships later in life.
