Present at birth = the five senses (sight, smell, sound, taste, touch) and reflexes (grasping, rooting, sucking) Attachment: strong, emotional connection that persists over time and across circumstances.

Secure attachment: child is upset when caregiver leaves, but easily comforted upon their return. Insecure-avoidant: little distress when caregiver leaves, avoids the caregiver upon their return. Insecure-resistant: clings to caregiver, gets upset, but resists comfort. Authoritative: most effective, rules and structure, but also highly responsive to child.
