Answer to Question #91287 in English for Khutso

Question

1. What does the caregiver do to develop attachment behaviour between himself/ herself and the babies/toddlers in his/her care?

Answer 1

Caregivers develop attachment behavior with the babies/toddlers by physical care. That is, the caregiver ensures that the toddler is protected from any physical harm; thus, the toddler continuously develops a positive attitude towards the caregiver thus developing the attachment. Also, they develop emotional attachment when the toddler is not feeling well or is crying, and the caregiver is there to offer the baby/toddler full support at any particular time.
