I Am Close With Damon - 971 Words

Since the age of fifteen, I have been dating my boyfriend, Damon, whose family has accepted me as their own. Last year, Damon’s step-brother Elijah had a wonderful little girl named Korra. She is now 11 months old and beginning to exhibit signs of development that we have been exploring in our class work.

I have noticed that Korra is showing Secure Attachment when with her mother, Jessica. When Korra is with her, she is a very happy baby who is willing to be around others that she recognizes and is not afraid to play with her toys; but when her mother leaves she begins to panic and cry out for Jessica to come back.
