Attachment and the Primary Caregiver

The idea
Attachment is the emotional bond between an infant and the primary caregiver, the person who spends the most time with the infant.
In practice
An adoptive father, a grandmother or a mother each serving as the primary attachment figure.
Where people slip
Any stable, consistent caregiver can be the attachment figure, and infants can form attachments to several people.
