Answer:

It is extremely important for the parent or caregiver's response to a baby's temperament.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The relationships and patterns of interactions that is formed at the initial stages of life serves as a working prototype for most of interactions later in life and also have life-long effects.
  • John Bowlby's theory on same subject suggest that a child is strongly affected or attached to the one when he/she is toppled to seek proximity and contact with a specified figure and to do so in certain situations, mostly when he or she is frightened, tired or ill.
