What behaviors do children with insecure-ambivialent attachment show?
Insecure-Ambivalent Attachment in the Second Year
Infants who have developed insecure-ambivalent attachment styles have a difficult time making sense of their relationship experiences because the experience has been inconsistent or disrupted. The infant cannot predict whether the care giver will meet his or her needs, be hostile or rejecting, or whether the care giver will disappear. These children tend to be angry or anxious much of the time and may exhibit clingy, whiny behavior, or throw tantrums a lot.
