Originally there was three attachment classifications, secure, avoidant, and ambivalent (Ainsworth, Blehar, Waters, & Wall, 1978).

Internal working models, in turn, guide autonomous regulation of negative arousal as the child develops. Although the process of attachment-driven emotion regulation is certainly occurring for Chris, tangible evidence of self-regulation…

After doing the questionnaire, My Virtual Life assigned me a baby boy who I ended up naming him after me, Usman Jr. I tried to provide a soothing environment, and added the latest baby toys such as rattles, and toys so that he would be more active and curious about his environment. While raising Usman Jr. I tried not to be overly attached nor try to ignore his cries. For instance, when he would…

The Chosen written by American-Jewish author and rabbi, Chaim Potok, emphasises the importance of parent child relationships, specifically between Fathers and sons, within adolescent years. Between the ages of 10-19 children are moulded through the environment they’re raised in and the elements of relationship that are present. During this time, they acquire much of their character traits that build individual perspective and provide a structure for the development of one’s own values.…
