Disorganized

(15 percent). This catchall category includes all children whose emotions and behaviors toward their parents are difficult to classify, including those who exhibit elements of both secure and insecure attachment.

Insecure

(20 percent). Insecure attachment takes two forms. Avoidant children do not seem to react when parents return and even avoid them, suggesting that they are trying to minimize their reactions in order to keep their parents close. This pattern helps maintain relationships with parents, but it can mess up their working model of relationships. Resistant children tend to react with resistance, anger, and distress. This pattern is more of a rejection of the relationship, and it also disrupts the development of a positive working model.

Secure

(roughly 65 percent of cases). In the most stable form of attachment, children use parents as a secure base from which to explore their surroundings. Securely attached children expect sensitivity from parents and act accordingly.
