Document Summary
Secure children- less dependent upon teachers in preschool, more cooperative and peaceful, responsive to friends requests. Insecure children- more dependent on others, aggressive with peers, withdrawn from friends. Can an infant form multiple attachments: mary ainsworth, they are highly selective in their choices of attachment figures, not all social relationships can be defined as attachments, not all attachment figures are equally important. Our brains are physically wired to develop in tandem with others through emotional communication before words. Brain science has provided empirical evidence that attachment is biologically based. Mother-child bond knits together neural filaments of the babies brain that regulates their emotions. Securely attached infants receive the kind of neural imprinting that helps babies to cope with and regulate emotions. Insecurely attached infants are more susceptible to uncontrollable waves of upsetting, unpleasant emotions because of a lack of emotional regulation: but, we can change this through reparative life experiences such as therapy.
