You
What is the difference between secure and insecure attachment? How would I see this in a real-life daycare setting?
AI Tutor
A child with a secure attachment will typically explore the room but check back with their caregiver. They may be upset when the caregiver leaves but are easily soothed on their return. A child with an insecure attachment might either ignore the caregiver, be very clingy, or seem distressed and hard to comfort. It's about how they use their caregiver as a 'safe base'. Would you like me to explain the different types of insecure attachment?
