Document Summary
Chapter5 establishment of intimate relationships and their implications for future development. Attachment (termed by bowlby): a close emotional relationship between two persons, characterised by mutual affection and a desire to maintain proximity. The likelihood that a mother and their infant will become securely attached is just as high (or higher) in adaptive families as in nonadoptive ones. Secure attachments between infants and caregivers are not formed in the first few hours (or days) after birth; they build gradually from social interactions that take place over a period of months. Even very young infants expect synchrony between their own gestures and those of caregivers, and these expectancies are one reason that face-to-face play interactions with regular companions become increasingly coordinated and complex over the first several months. Synchronized routines: generally harmonious interactions between two persons in which participants adjust their behavior in response to the partner"s actions and emotions.
