Bowlby proposed that an internal working model (IWM) developed in childhood will determine or affect later adult relationships and how successful they are. Ainsworth’s strange situation helped develop three main types of attachment: secure, resistant and avoidant. Secure children develop a positive model of themselves and relationships as their primary caregiver was sensitive, emotionally responsive and supportive. Resistant children have parents who were inconsistent in their care giving, resulting in the child having a negative image of themself - often seeking attention but not finding comfort when they receive it. Avoidant children often have rejecting parents, which leads to them developing an internal model which makes them think they are unacceptable and unworthy.

After this occurs, the best plan of actions is to treat the child to correct the damage so the child can live a normal emotional life.

Proximity maintenance; when the child strives to stay near the caregiver, thus keeping the child safe.

Ainsworth in short reinforced the same concepts that Bowlby had for attachment and introduced a few new concepts of her own. Ainsworth explored her “Strange Situation” study.
The stages are what a person should experience to become a healthy and well rounded human being, but if one person is not able to experience one stage or misses out then later in life the stage missed may become a problem. The first stage of Erickson’s stages of psychosocial development is Basic Trust vs. Basic Mistrust. This stage starts with infants and their needs that they need from their parents. An infant needs to be feed, have nourishment and comfort.
Do not tell off a child, as it is far better to explain to them the reason of the problem. They will learn from that and also they will feel respected and valued. Always set good example as children tend to copy adults.

Summary: In “Justice: Childhood Love Lessons”, bell hooks notes that grownups, with their ways of discipline; often confuse children about the concept of love. (27).
