Researchers do know the effect that poor bonding can have on the developing child. These children may appear as angry, ambivalent to the parent or resistant to relating to the parent. When separated from their mothers, they may kick or cling anxiously to the mother. or, they may be indifferent. However, if the child is upset, the mother's efforts to comfort the child do not work, and they remain distressed (Hartman, David). Such children easily feel threatened. Without that maternal bonding, the world is not as safe as it should be for them.

In addition, insecure infants' reaction to poor bonding interferes with how they relate to the world in important ways, because they are reluctant to explore their world. They don't feel safe, and mother's attentions don't make them feel better.
