During a developmental observation at a local clinic, Dr. Laurent noted that several toddlers immediately began playing with some puzzles, showing no tendency to check back with their mothers or seek proximity. When the mothers left the room, the toddlers did not appear distressed, and when the mothers returned, the toddlers actively looked away and avoided physical contact.
