primary caregiver mother, primary caregiver father and
secondary caregiver fathers.

suggested also that father has different role from
mother, one related more with stimulation and play.

- Strengths:
- Real world application. Can be used to offer advice to parents,
reducing parental anxiety.

- Real world application. Can be used to offer advice to parents,
reducing parental anxiety.
- Weaknesses:
- Conflicting evidence. Longitudinal studies suggested
that fathers as secondary attachments have a distinct
role, however doesnt account for single parent families,
or same sex parents,
- Confusion due to lack of clarity.
Difficult to offer a simple answer as to

- Conflicting evidence. Longitudinal studies suggested
that fathers as secondary attachments have a distinct
role, however doesnt account for single parent families,
or same sex parents,
- Strengths:
- Possible explanations suggest that the father is less psychologically equipped to form close bonds,

argued was more important than the amount of time spent with a child.
