Attachments to both mother and father are related to later development Children can develop different kinds of attachment relationships with their mothers and fathers. In one study, researchers classified 1-year-olds according to whether they were securely attached to both parents, securely attached to their mother but not their father, securely attached to their father but not their mother, or securely attached to neither parent (Main & Weston, 1981). They then observed the infants' reactions to a friendly clown. The infants who were securely attached to both parents were more responsive to the clown than those who were securely attached to only one parent, and the infants who were securely attached to neither parent were the least responsive of all. These results suggest that if you want to know about an infant's emotional security, it is important to view the child as part of a family system and assess attachment relationships with both parents (Cowan et al., 2005; Parke & Buriel, 2006). If other adults-grandparents, nannies, childcare providers-are also a significant part of the child's world, they should be included in assessments of attachment in order to get the most complete and accurate prediction of children's development (Howes & Spieker, 2016; Mesman et al., 2016).
