CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Infants with insecure/resistant attachment are extremely distressed by the separations and cannot be soothed at reunions, essentially displaying much distress and angry resistance to interactions with the caregiver, which occurs in 8% of the general population (9).

Detailed explanation-2: -Children with sensitive caregivers are associated with being securely attached, and those with inconsistent caregivers are often associated as having insecure ambivalent attachments.

Detailed explanation-3: -Some insecure resistant infants are oddly passive, crying but failing to actively seek contact; others seek contact, and then resist it with displays of anger. Among nonnormative groups, attachment patterns are seen that are themselves atypical and inconsistent with Ainsworth’s original classifications.

Detailed explanation-4: -Babies with an insecure-ambivalent/resistant attachment are clingy with their mother and don’t explore or play in her presence. They are distressed when the mother leaves, and when she returns, they vacillate between clinging and angry resistance.

Detailed explanation-5: -Disorganized attachment develops from a parent’s consistent failure to respond appropriately to their child’s distress, or by a parent’s inconsistent response to their child’s feelings of fear or distress. For example, a child might be distressed to be left with a new babysitter or unfamiliar caregiver.
