A daycare teacher knows that research has demonstrated that infants who are securely attached are more likely to be social preschoolers. However, she has noticed that some of the infants in her daycare do not demonstrate the classic signs of secure attachment. Which of the following would NOT be good advice for this teacher?
◦ The teacher should be aware that the attachment literature, like many psychological literatures, is primarily based on samples of white, middle-class children and that the results might not apply to more diverse groups of children.
◦ The teacher should meet with the parents and caution them that their parenting practices are not sufficiently preparing their children for the future.
◦ The teacher should observe all of the children carefully while keeping in mind that behaviors might differ as a result of diverse family environments and parenting styles.
◦ The teacher should learn more about the children's families and create opportunities for dialog with parents.
