Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A secure base is a term used to describe the primary attachment figure (usually a parent or caregiver) who provides a sense of security, comfort, and protection to the child. This secure base allows the child to explore and learn about their environment, knowing they can always return to their attachment figure for support and reassurance. While primary attachment figures may also provide nutrition, entertainment, and education, their primary role is to serve as a secure base for the child's emotional needs.
