Reflect on the development of peer relationships. Include (but do not necessarily limit yourself to) the following:

Explain how secure attachment might build a bridge between infant relationships with caregivers and peer relationships in early adolescence. Provide specific examples.

Analyze friendships that occur in both middle childhood and preadolescence. Briefly explain how these relationships are developmentally different from each other. Provide specific examples.
