Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Skye's behavior of drinking from baby bottles and wetting the bed reflect regression, which is a defense mechanism that involves reverting to an earlier stage of development in the face of stress or anxiety. Skye may be feeling anxious or insecure about the arrival of her new sibling, and so she is seeking comfort and security in behaviors that she engaged in when she was a baby.
