Answer: disorganized attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

- disorganized attachment is rooted in unpredictable and inconsistent behavior from caregivers during a child's formative years

- this is an insecure style of attachment that develops when kids are raised in an environment that elicits fear, often involving abuse or a lack of reliability

signs of disorganized attachment in children can include:

- attention seeking

- avoidant

- inability to communicate needs

- lack of self-soothing skills

- hyper-focusing

- push-pull dynamic with caregivers

- confusion and ambivalence

hope this helps :)
