(2) Attachment in the making (6-8 weeks to 6-8 months) is characterized by babies gradually identifying the primary caregiver as the person they can depend on when they're anxious or distressed.
(3)True attachment (6-8 months to 18 months) occurs when there is an attachment figure who is the infant's stable socioemotional base.
(4) Reciprocal relationships (18 months on) occur when infants become true partners in the attachment relationship.
