The behavior described in the question is typical of children with a disorganized-disoriented attachment. These children display a range of contradictory behaviors in the presence of their caregiver, including freezing and appearing dazed, outbursts of anger, and fearful or apprehensive behavior when the caregiver returns. Secure attachment (A) is characterized by a child who is comfortable with the caregiver, upset when they leave but quickly soothed upon their return. In insecure-avoidant attachment (B), the child avoids or ignores the caregiver, while in insecure-resistant attachment (C), the child may cling to the caregiver and be difficult to soothe, but also show anger towards the caregiver.
