A Child from Birth to 4 Years
Cognitive

age, and also answer simple questions.

is less likely to be attached to their mothers.
There are also instances of insecurely attached-anxious, which

4. and are not distressed by their absence.
Developmental Strategy
According to Shewark & Blandon (2014), unresponsive
behavior by parents can easily result in a negative attitude on
child development. Therefore, parents have to engage their
children to develop their emotions. (typical).
Timers can help a child develop patience and self-regulation in
different situations. For example, it can help in enhancing
patience since they have to wait for a time in a given situation.
