Problem
Attachment security is on a continuum. Children's attachment behavior can be more secure or less secure. Their behavior depends on the caregiving they receive. A child is more likely to form a secure attachment when her caregiver provides consistent and sensitive care. Thread prompt: In the U.S., caregivers often encourage independence in their children from a young age. But this is not always typical in other countries. Think of cultural differences in childcare or child rearing that you know. How might those differences affect attachment relationships? How might you use this knowledge when caring for a child from a different culture? When responding about culture, it is important to approach your response kindness. You are okay to have strong beliefs about your own culture but strong beliefs must be loosely held if you want to make the most of your learning. There are many approaches that can lead to the same result.
