"Sensitivity is twofold: determining when a child needs protection and comfort and responding to the child's needs accordingly. A caregiver's correct interpretations of their child's signals and, subsequently, responding appropriately are at the core of providing psychological security."
"There is a range of behavioral responses caregivers can choose based on what they determine their child needs at any given moment. On one end, a parental response can be too reactive and on the other, a parent can be not responsive enough."
