What will be an ideal response?


An insecure attachment between child and parent can be overcome by changing maladaptive interaction patterns, increasing sensitivity on the part of the parent, and fostering consistent and developmentally appropriate responses to children's behaviors. Pediatricians, counselors, and social workers can help parents identify and change ineffective parenting behaviors to improve parent-child interaction patterns.
