Document Summary

Attachment style: the close emotion bonds that a child develops with their primary caregiver (usually the mother, but not necessarily) Secure attachment: categorized by upset behaviour, and the child isn"t comforted by toys or a stranger, but only when the caregiver returns. Anxious-ambivalent: child protests when caregiver leaves, feel uncomfortable when stranger enters room instead of just assessing and would cling to the caregiver; when the child left, the child was inconsolable, and child couldn"t calm down when caregiver returns. Avoidant: seek little contact with caregiver, don"t notice or don"t get upset when caregiver leaves, don"t need as much comfort; independent, don"t need constant reassurance, don"t notice the stranger or surroundings; focused on what he/she is doing. Disorganized/disoriented: inconsistent behaviour, can show behaviours from all categories; only consistent factor is it"s unpredictable. German children are usually avoidant: daycare: detrimental to developmental health of children because they lack interaction with caregiver.
