Attachment Theory: Attachment Theory is that affection is a profound and lasting emotional connection connecting people and people in time and space. (McLeod, 2009) It is not necessarily mutual between people. Because it is only in children, such as being caught when they feel hungry or becoming anxious when feeling intimidation. Attachment theory was born from a psychoanalyst John Bowlby's study who thinks psychoanalysis and behavior problems are due to infancy (McLeod, 2007).

There are various opinions about attachment theory. The first and most famous view of attachment theory is J. Bowlby known as the father of attachment theory. He believes that attachment begins in infancy and lasts a lifetime, and there are several innate behavior control systems necessary for survival and fertility. The attachment and exploration system is at the center of his attachment theory (Elliot & Reis, 2003). The baby first establishes a strong relationship with their primary caregiver and they will be the foundation for exploration for the baby. It is the natural behavior of the baby to explore new things, but if the child explores and becomes dangerous or frightened, the primary caregiver becomes the basis of safety.
