The right of the child to have his or her best interest taken as a primary consideration 2013, para. 72
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Emotional care is a basic need of children; if parents or other primary caregivers do not fulfil the child's emotional needs, action must be taken so that the child develops a secure attachment. Children need to form an attachment to a caregiver at a very early age, and such attachment, if adequate, must be sustained over time in order to provide the child with a stable environment.
