Correct Answer:

"Attachment to caregivers is the foundation of security, self-esteem, and self-regulation for the infant

❤️ Separation anxiety can manifest as a psychological response but is often paired with physical signs such as crying.

❤️ Separation anxiety does not determine future attachment disorders but can be an early sign of the child's growing attachment.

❤️ Separation anxiety is a normal developmental stage that should be addressed through reassurance rather than medical intervention.
