What does a secure attachment look like in the second year?

Secure Attachment in Second Year

By the time an infant turns one year of age, the child has developed behavioral patterns that become internal and that are based on the relationship the infant had with the primary care giver. If the attachment experience has been positive, the infant is more likely to develop attachment behaviors that include feeling good about him or herself, feeling lovable, and worthwhile. The infant will generally look at the world as a safe and joyous place and will be eager to explore the environment. The infant will also show beginnings of being able to regulate his or her own emotions.
