CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Children with a secure attachment may be distressed upon separation but warmly welcome the caregiver back through eye contact and hug-seeking. Anxious-resistant attachment describes a child who is frightened by separation and continues to display anxious behavior once the caregiver returns.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ambivalent Attachment Characteristics These children display considerable distress when separated from a parent or caregiver, but do not seem reassured or comforted by the return of the parent.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are four basic attachment styles displayed by children: Secure, avoidant, ambivalent, and disorganized.

Detailed explanation-4: -When distressed they are difficult to soothe and are not comforted by interaction with the attachment figure. This behavior results from an inconsistent level of response to their needs from the primary caregiver.

Detailed explanation-5: -To recap, children with ambivalent attachment tend to: Act out for attention, such as through temper tantrums or getting overly upset. Resist soothing, but also cling to the parent. Feel insecure about exploring their world. Be needy for adult attention (such as their teachers or supervisor)
