In terms of similarities they noted that proximity-seeking and contact maintaining behaviour intensified during separation and when the stranger appeared whereas resisting and avoiding behaviours occurred rarely towards the caregiver prior to separation. In terms of differences they found and categorized it into three different types of attachment; secure attachment, insecure-avoidant attachment and insecure-resistant attachment. Secure attachment is when an infant has a strong contended bond with their caregiver. They show distress at separation but are easily comforted when reunited with their caregiver. They found that it was the most popular form of attachment and is related to healthy development as the infants use the caregiver as a secure base form to explore and to function independently in the future.
Babies between the age of 6 and 18 months could show less eye contact and start to lose interest in toys. And have delays in sitting or crawling. Stage II, Children between 1 and 4 slowly lose their ability to speak or use their hands. During this stage they will have repetitive with purposeless hand movements.

Age Characteristics Up to 9 months By nine months babies are still shy with strangers but will show their affection to carers. They will enjoy being with others and playing simple games like peek-a-boo. 1 – 2 years At this age children may show separation anxiety from adults close to them. They may choose a particular object such as a teddy or blanket to comfort them and play becomes more fun with other children and they will mostly be cooperative. Children can now be easily distracted to avoid unwanted behaviour.
Children’s friendship with others help them develop their emotional understanding, interaction, empathy and social skills. Children who lack friends tend to feel isolated, suffer insecurities and usually withdraw themselves more. They may struggle to communicate, share and understand the needs and feelings of others. As they grow older the insecurities may lead to self-hate and self-harm. They will also lack people to confide in or go to for advice Child neglect, often overlooked, is the most common form of child maltreatment.
Between 2 and 3 years, the confidence of the child will increase resulting in them playing happily alongside other children adults. However, they become more impulsive and demanding, prone to temper tantrums when demands aren’t met instantly. Between 3 and 4 years, their independence develops more and more and they are more comfortable in unfamiliar places and with unfamiliar people. They become more sociable, playing with others, sharing during games, and showing concern and comfort for those around them. Between 4 and 7 years, they are more interactive with other children but still struggle with rules in games and fairness.
