A2 bowlby's evolutionary basis of attachment
bowlby suggested that a child should be close to a care giver for the first few years of their life in order for them to survive. this is because the child is protected against danger due to the presence of the care giver. children have the innate tendency to attach in order to aid their survival. they use proximity promoting behavious to keep their caregiver close, these proximiting promoting behaviours could be clinging, smiling, crying etc. and the proximity promoting behaviours cis more critical in the sensitivity period.
