    Correct Answer(s)
    Positive emotional bond that develops between a child and a specific individual
    Explanation
    Attachment refers to the positive emotional bond that forms between a child and a specific individual, usually a caregiver. This bond is crucial for a child's emotional and social development, as it provides them with a sense of security, comfort, and trust. Through attachment, children learn to regulate their emotions, explore their environment, and form healthy relationships with others. It is a fundamental aspect of human development and plays a significant role in shaping a child's overall well-being and future relationships.

Reflexes can be observed in various parts of the body, such as the nervous system, muscles, and organs, and they play a crucial role in protecting the body from harm and maintaining homeostasis.
