Piper's lack of response when her mother leaves or returns suggests that she is avoidant. This type of attachment style is characterized by a child who shows little distress when separated from their caregiver and does not seek comfort from them upon their return. The lack of response to a stranger is also indicative of an avoidant attachment style.
