Document Summary
Child will be part of society, be raised successfully and ensure the maximum trust. Erik erikson- trust-physical comfort, predictability, minimum fear of the future that produces a social connection within individuals. Signalling behaviour- cry, smile, babbly to bring into close proximity. And can engage in approach behaviour- following, reaching, crawling and moms will respond because moms are adapted, prewired. Stage in development of attachment: 0-2 pre attachment-indiscriminate social behaviour. Child doesn"t have visual acuity, can"t tell difference between people as long as their physical needs are met: 2-7 attachment in the making-recognition of familiar people. They can distinguish and discriminate between familiar and non-familiar people. Deliberate behaviour ie/attachment seeking- clinging, temperate throwing: 24-goal-corrected partnership. A secure attachment develops and there is an internal mechanism present, goals are being set between child and parent in terms of how much proximity there is ie/24/7. they have to separate and how much ie/lots in five years.
