In 1970 Bernhard Hassenstein, a biologist and behaviorist, coined the phrase, parent clinger to describe the human young. Unlike other youngsters, a baby is neither a atricial (staying in the nest) or nidifugous (leaving the nest immediately) species, hence the perfect term, parent clinger. To build a secure base, as the great psychologist and attachment expert Mary Ainsworth called it, a baby needs: -To be in close physical contact with caregiver at all times -Comfort when feeling distressed -Reassurance when frightened -Immediate nourishment when hungry From this secure base of attachment a child can move off, develop, explore and become self-reliant.
