Explanation / Answer

Accoording to Erik Erikson adoloscents are in search for identity leading to adulthood.Healthy resolution of earlier conflicts can serve as a foundation for search of an identity. If the child overcomes earlier conflicts they search for identity.The transition from childhood to adulthood is important.Two identities are involved,sexual and occupational.This is the stage where they feel uncomfortable till they accept and grow.Role confusion is often experienced as they are unsure about themselves.Adolscent in this period have identity crisis and begin to experiment roles.Important aspect at this stage is peer relationships.

Attatchment is one of the important aspect of relationship between a child and a parent.This makes the child safe feel secure and safe.Attatchment is not same as disciplining or teaching a child.It is the bonding that a child has with the parent.

When we discuss nature- nurture ,our environment plays a vital role.For example the way we look,or other physical characteristics are gentic. The environment plays an important role as we grow up. We may have inherited the best genes from our parents but if the environment we grow up does not motivate us to bring out the best in us , we continue to remain stagnant.

Attatchment theory is concerning relationships between humans.The most important being mother-child bonding.Infant behaviour is associated with attatchment to the caregiver in immediate situation. quality of time spent is more valuable than the amount of time spent.
