The key thing with this area is to make sure you know the difference between type A (insecure avoidance) and type C (insecure resistant). The insecure-avoidance category is characterised by children who tend to avoid social interaction and intimacy with others.

These children respond to separation from their caregiver with immediate and intense distress, but may resist being picked up on reunion whilst still trying to maintain proximity.
