The Relationship Between Teachers and Young Children
In early childhood, children's attachment is directed towards parents and family members. As they grow, they naturally expand their attachment ties to other people, that is, the bond. In this process, teachers become dear to the little ones. This behavior is based on Attachment Theory, which describes how an individual's first bonds can shape their future expectations about themselves and the world.
When a child enjoys going to school, a bond is established. The bond allows the child to feel protected and comfortable, and teachers become affective mediators in the school environment, promoting a faster and happier adaptation.

in my toddler class i think it's important for every child to have trust and a relationship with their teacher to ensure a positive classroom and a safe space for a child to feel loved and comfortable.
