PSYC FPX 2700 Assessment 3:John Bowlby’s Attachment Theory

John Bowlby’s attachment theory illustrates the attachment of a child to cautiousness, emphasizing the behavior that is evident in the absence of their carers of children. This law traverses a series of attachment stages, which are sketched by age and development signs. A lot of research has found and proved this theory (Feldman, 2021).

Bolby’s stages start by explaining parents’ relationship with children and progressing to firm connections:

• 0-6 weeks: Intrinsic rest cue.
• 6 weeks to 4 months: Distinction between familiar and unfamiliar faces.
• 4 months to two years: Movement upon separation from parents.
• 2 years and above: Seeking secure attachment from parents, awareness of parents and children, and playing with peers (Feldman, 2021).

Jeremy’s Attachment to Toys & Caregivers

Jereme’s attachment to his toy demonstrates the concept of numerous connections to Bolby, which is external to his main caregivers. Their attachment represents a strong emotional connection and serves as a source of comfort. Besides that, Jeremy also exhibits an extensive connection with both her mother and father.

Jeremy’s Development Markers

Jereme’s development milestones entail a natural discovery of freedom, which is unique to their age. Nonetheless, his toilet training delay attracted attention when attention was diverted by certain development patterns.
