articles The Amazing Power of Baby Love and A Year to Cheer (written by Dr. Stanley
             Greenspan and Emily Abedon, respectively) advocate intense coexistence between the
             child and the caregiver. These articles (taken from parenting magazine) are, in essence,
             guidelines to be used by the parents or caregiver to ensure proper development of their
             child up to the second year. The article also educates the reader that every child develops

             2 months through 7 months- discriminate social response- "During the second
             phase, infants become more interested in the caregiver and

             next stage. Once the child is in the second stage of Ainsworth's theory Greenspan
             insinuates that the child is intelligent enough to distinguish differences between people:
             "your child seems to be more intensely involved with you. She may look longingly
