1.f Parent-Child Relationship:

Secure Relationship
A child in this category feels he can depend on his parent or provider.
He knows that person will be there when he needs support. He knows
what to expect.
Avoidant Relationship
Avoidant children have learned that depending on parents wont get
them that secure feeling they want, so they learn to take care of
themselves.
Ambivalent Relationship
Children who are ambivalent have learned that sometimes their needs
are met, and sometimes they are not. They notice what behavior got
their parents attention in the past and use it over and over. They are
always looking for that feeling of security that they sometimes get.
Disorganized Relationship
Children with relationships in the other categories have organized
attachments. This means that they have all learned ways to get what
they need, even if it is not the best way. This happens because a child
learns to predict how his parent will react, whether it is positive or
negative. They also learn that doing certain things will make their
parents do certain things.
