Expert Solution
Step 1

Attachment here refers to a psycho-emotional bond that a child shares with his/her caregiver, that usually develops during the early years of childhood (critical period). Initially, the style of attachment describes how and whether the primary needs of the child (such as hunger, safety and care) are met, and gradually, it becomes an influencing factor in the cognitive, social and psychological development of the child into an adult.
