Early infant attachment is an important aspect that lays the foundation for a healthy child development. It is a basis for relating with others intimately‚ in addition to children and spouses. Infant’s temperament‚ refers to the activity level‚ adaptability‚ persistence‚ mood‚ withdrawal/ approach‚ intensity‚ and sensory threshold including distractibility (Gallitto, 2015).

Those who give the needed attachment also have a great responsibility; this is because they help in setting points for social interactions with new people‚ and partners. These have consequences that last long‚ and they also shape ones disposition‚ develop close relations and organizing behavior. However‚ the same theory illustrates that‚ there may be more conflicting models of attachment relationship, which are internal‚ apart from one, gained through experience.
