= Definition: = Insecure/Avoidant Attachment- A pattern of attachment in which an infant avoids contact with the parent, and shows no preference for the parent over other people. HGD, Chapter 6, p. 136

= Examples: = When a child gets upset, or actively avoids contact with parents. The child could be picked up by a complete stranger and be just as content as they would be if being held by the parent. If a complete stranger were to pick up a random child they had never been introduced to, the child would not scream, cry, or call to his or her parent.
