AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Attachment is the first way that babies learn to organize their feelings and their actions, by looking to the person who provides them with care and comfort. Attachment is essential to long-term emotional health.

Detailed explanation-2: -Things like smiling and responding to you, making eye contact or calming down when held by a familiar adult are all social and emotional milestones that most babies express and explore by a certain age.

Detailed explanation-3: -Parents and caregivers play the biggest role in social/emotional development because they offer the most consistent relationships for their child. Consistent experiences with family members, teachers and other adults help children learn about relationships and explore emotions in predictable interactions.

Detailed explanation-4: -Babies express their emotions through their posture, voice and facial expressions from birth. These attitudes help their carers adapt their behaviour to the baby’s emotional state. A baby’s tears, for example, may be an expression of his or her distress and primary needs (to be fed or changed or to lie down).
