Safety, nurturance, access to nutritious foods and clean water, exploration of social and physical environment. Social resources: relationships, parenting skills, education, and cultural practice.

Factors that impact mother and child to develop secure attachments: maternal depression, low birth weight, malnutrition, infection, war, domestic violence, poverty, physical and mental disability. Mental and physical health: addiction, violence, depression, chronic illness, physical handicap, acute stress, and hiv. The role of the father in nurturing the child.
