What are the steps in the attachment process?

Steps of Attachment

Some attachment theorists suggest that attachment develops through a series of steps in which the infant:
1. Shows indiscriminating responsiveness (0-3 months of age)
2. Focuses on one or more figures (3-6 months)
3. Develops a secure base behavior (6-24 months)
4. Develops a goal-corrected partnership with the adult caregiver(s)(24-30 months)
