General Concepts Related to

Development

Infancy - AttachmentIn the early stages of development, infants develop a sense of

attachment. Attachment is the positive emotional bond that develops between a child and a particular individual. Infants seek physical contact with this individual, and see

them as a source of comfort and safety.

In 1959, Harry Harlow

conducted a famous

experiment about attachment using

monkeys.

ChildhoodSocial relationships with people other than parents become increasingly important in childhood years. Children become

more independent, and culture begins to impact their behavior and beliefs. The parenting style employed has a

great impact on the behavior the child learns.
