    1. Phase 1. Birth to 2-3 months - pays attention to people Phase 2 3-6 months - more responsive to mother figure Phase 3 - 6 months to 2 yrs - follows mother, withdraws from strangers, less friendly to others Phase 4 - 2 plus - develops insight into mothers feelings, motives and plans
Secure and insecure attachments - research by Mary Ainsworth key collaborator with Bowlby
1. Secure realtionships - highly enjoyable mutally satisfying relationships - more sensitive to babies signals
2. Insecure relationships - muted and insecure
Attachment - Not just Mothers a scure attachment can be realised with the primary care giver.
1. different attachment figures are used by children in different ways - normally one or two dominate.
  1. an attachment figure is a secure base
    1. Secure base from which to explore the world - Humans need to adapt to ever change world and situations , we need to interpret responces and what will happen next - Models in our minds - our first Model constructed in the mind is of his or her mother - enables the child to understand thier own self and the world around them and their place within it.
      1. Humans have an natural instint to explore the world around them, having a secure base in a good attachment enables the child to do this successfully with confidence to develop rather than feeling vulnerable.
