A playgroup leader is discussing the behaviour of three new children with a volunteer helper at the end of their first session.
‘How did the three new children manage today?’ asked the playgroup leader.
‘They all reacted quite differently,’ replied the helper. ‘Amara cried when her father left, but she was absolutely delighted to see him and ran for a hug when he returned.’
‘Leo was incredibly clingy from the start and cried hysterically when his father walked out. Even when his father returned, Leo seemed angry and couldn't be easily comforted.’
‘Chloe didn't seem to care when her father left, and she didn't even look up or greet him when he came back at home time.’
