IGoal-corrected partnership is a term used in Bowlby's Attachment theory which refers to the capacity that emerges in toddlerhood and early school age in which children begin to find more flexible and adaptive ways to maintain proximity with the object of attachment and to seek reassurance under stressful situations. Children are able to manage negotiated separations more easily, as a result.
