Attachment Assignment Deborah Fadase School Of Community Studies, Fanshawe College PSYC 1117: Child Development Attachment Activity Professor: Chelsey Boyse February 14, 2022

Attachment Assignment 1. In your own words what is attachment? (2 marks) Attachment can be defined as the personal connection developed between human beings and their community. It can also mean having emotional bonds with another person. 2. What are 5 factors that need to be present for good/secure attachment? (10 marks) They include. - Trusting one another: To create a secure attachment, trust is a foundational step. The parents and child build this trusting relationship right from birth and aids in their attachment with one another - High self-esteem: It makes a child and parent feel confident and capable. The parent will have a strong sense of feeling they are building a good emotional attachment with their child. Indirectly, this will build the child’s self-esteem securing the attachment. - Engaging in child play: To create a secure attachment, the parents need to involve the child in child play. This will allow the child to develop cognitively and aid in better communication - Sharing feelings together: The parents and the child need to express their opinions, likes and fears together. This will enable them to bond and grow together. - Empathy: Empathy and communication skills between the parents and child is an important factor. The parent needs to be able to reason according to the child’s cognitive and physical development. This will help in forming a good attachment. 3. What are 3 signs that perhaps there is an insecure or unhealthy attachment between an infant and a caregiver? (3 marks) They include.

- Avoidant: When a caregiver starts to miss or avoid certain cues that the infant is showing, this leads to an insecure attachment. - Disorganized: If a parent starts to show constant disorganization while raising the child, this could affect their growing relationship leading to an unhealthy attachment as the child develops - Unbalanced relationship: A relationship is unbalanced if the infant tries to connect with the parent and the parent is unable to reciprocate such emotional bonds. Eventually, the child will dissociate from the parent causing an unhealthy attachment. 4. What appears to be happening in regards to attachment with your virtual baby? (5 marks) A secure attachment occurred when my baby started smiling at me when he was about 4 weeks. I noticed that anytime I am around him, he knows that I am his mother because of the sense of smell. As a mother, I also understand my child anytime he is hungry or fussy. This shows the emotional connection between my child and I, which can be described as wordless communication. My baby also has been showing signs of curiosity and desire to explore. For example, crawling around the playpen and getting fascinated with play objects. 5. What have you done to create this attachment (5 marks) Some of the things I have done to create a positive attachment. - Always present when my child needs me. - Speaking in a warm and cool tone. - Comforting my baby anytime he cries. - Hold and cuddle my baby. - Watch and listen for my baby’s demands.
