True. Children have the capacity to form healthy attachments with other adults, even if they have experienced attachment ruptures or wounds from their primary caregiver. While the quality of the initial attachment with a primary caregiver is important, it is not the sole determinant of a child's ability to form secure and healthy attachments in the future. Positive and supportive relationships with other caregivers, family members, or adults can contribute to a child's emotional well-being and their ability to form healthy relationships later in life.
