Early attachment, Natural selection - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Relationships need attachment, communication, trust, and care for the other person.
        
        These are based on the internal working model that is generated during infancy.
  - - - But is is called a 'working' model as it is not solidified during this time.
        
        The model will change and develop over time as the infant has ned relationships (siblings, friends, grandparents, other caregiver, teachers, etc.)
        
        The IWM can give three different scenarios: secure attachment, insecure-avoidant attachment and insecure-resistant attachment.
- - - - Attachment is important for survival. A human infant cannot survive on their own. So attachment to a primary caregiver is crucial for survival.
    - - Monotropic attachments are when humans form one primary attachment to a caregiver.
        
        This monotropic attachment is usually with the biological mother.
        
        Again, this attachment is crucial for the infant's survival during infancy because the mother will provide milk and protection against harm.
        
        Later, this attachment will allow the growing child to have confidence to explore their environment and develop socially and cognitively.
        
        The attachment is a safe base.
