Thanks to everybody who replied to this thread, everything was well said. A child needs to move, with proper guidance, though. He/she needs to feel that he/she can accomplish something. This is in contrary to mothers' usual overprotectiveness. We should not keep on restricting the movement of our children just because we are afraid that something bad might happen to them. We have to let them know that they can do it, but of course, be there to guide them. If the Mom shows the baby her fears of her baby's trying to learn a new movement, the fear is instilled in the child and so, the effect is, when they are older, they are afraid to try and to risk, which is detrimental to their personal growth. Encouragement is very important to attachment. Show them you are happy when they are able to walk, when they are able to say something, when they climb, hold them but don't let them know you're afraid they will fall. In so doing, attachment between mother and child is achieved.
