Answer to Question 1

Infants typically recognize familiar people at about 3 months of age; babble and
respond to others with facial expressions at about 6 months of age; exhibit strong
attachment to caregivers at about 12 months of age; recognize self in a mirror at
about 18 months of age; and exhibit strong interest in both new experiences and
new children at about 24 months of age.

Answer to Question 2

Stress, mistreatment, mental illness, controlling behavior, and alcoholism are among
parent behaviors that may lead to an insecure attachment. An infant with a difficult
or slow-to-warm-up temperament may develop an insecure attachment. Getting help
with parental behaviors and understanding and guiding the infant patiently and
positively could improve the conditions.
