Discuss the importance of attachment and how it affects a child's internal working model of relationships

What will be an ideal response?


Accordingly, attachment serves an important stress-reduction function. The infant is motivated to maintain a balance between the desire to preserve the familiar and the desire to seek and explore new information. Self-reliance develops when the attachment figure provides a secure base for exploration (Bretherton & Munholland, 2008). Moreover, a child's internal working model of relationships—what he or she expects from others and how he or she relates to others—emerges from this first crucial relationship and is carried forward into later relationships.
