Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When infants begin to crawl, they typically experience separation anxiety and show signs of distress when separated from their caregivers. This is because they are becoming more aware of their environment and are developing a sense of object permanence, which means they understand that objects (including their caregivers) still exist even when they cannot see them. Therefore, they become anxious when their caregivers are not present. Infants do not lose interest in their caregivers, nor do they necessarily display signs of being more interested in age peers than in caregivers. They may still play happily, but their distress when separated from caregivers indicates a strong attachment to them.
