Infancy - AttachmentIn the early stages of development, infants develop a sense of
attachment. Attachment is the positive emotional bond that develops between a child and a particular individual. Infants seek physical contact with this individual, and see
them as a source of comfort and safety.
In 1959, Harry Harlow
conducted a famous
experiment about attachment using
monkeys.
ChildhoodSocial relationships with people other than parents become increasingly important in childhood years. Children become
more independent, and culture begins to impact their behavior and beliefs. The parenting style employed has a
great impact on the behavior the child learns.
