Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to developmental psychology, separation anxiety typically peaks around 12-15 months of age, so it is likely that Dawn, who is 13 months old, will show more distress than Tammi. Four-month-olds are typically not as aware of their surroundings and do not yet have a strong attachment to their caregivers, so Tammi may not show as much distress as Dawn.
