@MiraRoss I wonder which of Bowlby's attachment styles your kid has.

@quitwhendone what are you talking about?

@MiraRoss It's a theory in psychology developed by John Bowlby. Attachment styles describe how children form attachments to caregivers and how they react when the caregiver leaves and comes back. Attachment styles follow us unto adulthood.
