Anxious-Avoidant
Anxious-avoidant attachment patterns in children and adolescents are characterised by a tendency to avoid close relationships due to fear of rejection or abandonment. These patterns often develop as a result of inconsistent or unresponsive caregiving in early childhood. Children with anxious-avoidant attachment may struggle with emotional regulation, social relationships, and self-esteem, highlighting the importance of early intervention and attachment-focused therapies.
