This week the topic I found to be most interesting is attachment. Between the reading and listening to guest speakers talk about Harlow and his monkey experiment, i found the subject to be enjoyable. It was cool to see the different stages of attachment and how children are automatically attached to their parents from such a young age. In this video, the strong attachment from mother to child is shown. The child is only comfortable playing with her toys while her mother is present and it is just the two of them. As soon as a stranger enters the room, the child is no longer at ease. The child does not interact well and is frightened. I always knew children had a certain attachment to parents I just never knew it was this strong.
