Attachment Lab


I think that the amount of peer interaction a person has can be an alternative explanation.  While a lot can be told about a young child by their interaction with their parents, similar can be said about the influence of how much and what type of interaction they have with their peers.

I agree with this statement because children often listen and follow other adults and chidren in ther surrounding which can influence them unconsciously/consciously in our class. For example if you ever see freinds with the same attribute becuase if that happens, most likely, they process and have the same mannerisms.

I'm not sure that peer interaction is a cause of secure attachment to the caregiver. A child most usually interacts with caregivers almost exclusively early on. Peer interaction only occurs much later in life. Thus, while it may reinforce certain notions the child already has, I don't think peer interaction is responsible for the child's attachment style (which is formed long before significant peer interaction).
