The development of attachment is a process that children go through, which families and early care educators can have a positive impact on. Chapter 2 of the text and Nancy Balaban’s article, “Easing the Separation Process for Infants, Toddlers, and Families” explain the four types of attachment:
- Secure attachment
- Insecure/avoidant attachment
- Insecure/resistant/ambivalent attachment
- Disoriented/disorganized attachment.

Include your choice of attachment type in the Subject line of your
discussion post. Be sure your discussion post also includes a reference
