Describe Two Reunion Episodes
1. What behaviors did you see in each pair?
Five-year-olds children A and children B reunite with their parent’s at departure time. Parent A majority of the time comes early to pick up children A. When we are making the transition from music and movement to departure is when children A sees mom and gets her backpack as her mom signs the departure form. Then children A starts playing with her younger sister and gives mom a hug before they exit the school. Children A is attached to parent A, but does not necessary need to maintain constant proximity with parent A. Children A is able to play with younger sister as she has a secure attachment even if parent A is not close by. On the other hand I am usually reading a book to children B when parent B shows up. The moment children B sees her parent B walk in she runs and gives parent B a hug and a kiss. Children B gets her backpack and holds parent B hand as they exit the preschool.

Physical contact and eye contact could be a form of communication for the children to communicate with their parents.
3. According to attachment theory, why is contact between the child and adult
