Attachment bonds(as a psychological concept): The deep emotional connections and feelings of security that develop between a child and the person who cares for them, like the bond between a child and a parent.
Children's rights to safety and flourishing(as a competing value in child welfare debates): The idea that children have fundamental needs—protection from harm and the ability to grow healthy and happy—that should be prioritized in legal and family decisions.
Goldstein, Freud, and Solnit(as authors of a legal/psychological doctrine): Three influential thinkers who developed ideas about psychology and human relationships. Sigmund Freud was a famous psychologist who studied how our minds work; Joseph Goldstein and Dorothy Solnit built on these ideas to create theories about how children bond with parents.
