Africa-Press – Cape verde. <\/strong><\/span>Imagine a sudden rustle in the tall grass. A ripple of alarm passes through the group of early humans who live together amid ancient, rugged terrain. In the center of the encampment, a 3-year-old child \u2013 let’s call her Raina \u2013 stumbles and falls, her eyes wide with fear.<\/p>\n

Without hesitation, her mother sweeps her up into her protective arms, while her grandmother quickly gathers herbs and leaves to create a pungent smokescreen to deter lurking predators. Simultaneously, Raina\u2019s father and uncles move swiftly to the outskirts of the camp, their vigilant eyes scanning for signs of danger.<\/p>\n

In this heart-pounding moment, Raina was enveloped in a web of care. Multiple caregivers worked seamlessly together, their collective efforts serving as a shield against the unknown threat that lurked beyond the safety of their campfire’s glow. It took a village to ensure Raina’s safety.<\/p>\n

For at least 200,000 years, children grew up in a similar setting to Raina’s: a social environment with multiple caregivers. But 20th-century child psychologists placed almost exclusive importance on the mother-child bond. Research on children\u2019s attachment relationships \u2013 the emotional ties they develop with their caregivers \u2013 and how they influence child development has had a mother-centric focus. Academic psychology’s emphasis on the child-mother relationship can be at least partly attributed to social norms about the appropriate roles of mothers and fathers. Whereas fathers have been characterised as the breadwinners, mothers have been thought of as more involved in the daily care of children.<\/p>\n
