In our house at around 6 o’clock in the afternoon, I was observing Mrs. Padilla and her one year old daughter, Althea. Mrs. Padilla is playing with Althea. They are both laughing so hard. After playing with Althea, Mrs. Padilla placed her on a swing. Althea is reaching out for her mother. Mrs. Padilla, gave her a toy, a bottle, and then quickly left her. Her mother went back after 30 minutes and they started playing again. Mrs. Padilla left Althea again, but she is checking Althea every once in a while but she is not showing herself to Althea. When Mrs. Padilla has time, she will go back and play with Althea. Althea is crying really loud every time she sees her mother leave, but after 1-2 minutes, she will stop and will end up playing with the toy. Every time Mrs. Padilla hears Althea cry, she will just ignore it. Althea is not crawling or moving from one place to another. When nobody is around, she is very quiet and very still..
