June has a 16-year-old daughter, Mabel, who just got her driver's license. June and Mabel have an open and communicative relationship where Mabel listens and respects her mother. On a Saturday night, Mabel told her mother that she would be home at 10 p.m., but is five minutes late. Which would be a sign of an abnormal fear response, indicating that June may be prone to an anxiety disorder?

1- While watching a movie, June texts her daughter to check in every hour until she comes home.

2- While watching a movie, June pauses when her 10 p.m. alarm goes off on her phone. She checks her daughter's location and then calls her at 10:02 p.m. to check-in.

Next, you have clear-cut attachment, and here, babies are looking for hidden projects. To continue, there is separation anxiety, and this happens when the baby gets upset when their caregiver leaves. Separation anxiety happens around 7 and 8 months old. Following, stranger anxiety occurs. The child starts to get distressed when an unfamiliar person picks them up. Lastly, a baby starts to check-back behavior. This means that the baby will start to ask if it is okay to do something, or if something is unsafe or safe.
