Healthy Attachment Behavior

One of the discussions that was held in class was about healthy attachment behavior. We watched a clip from the movie Air Force One about how the daughter of Harrison Ford showed acceptable affection towards her character. We also talked about how Harrison Ford showed his affection towards his daughter. I'm a huge Sex and the City fan and I have just recently started watching every season. I noticed in season 4 episode 9 Charlotte is desperately trying to conceive a baby with her husband, Trey, who is 40 years old. Trey has a very unusual relationship with his mother for his age.

*Charlotte begins ovulating and walks into the bathroom to snatch her husband and walks in on Trey taking a bath while his mother is sitting on the side of the tub talking to him. Charlotte freaks out and Trey things nothing of it.


Charlotte: "What were you doing up there?"
Trey: "Up where? What do you mean?"
Charlotte: "What do you mean, what do I mean? You're mother was watching you bathe"
Trey: "She was not watching me bathe we were having a conversation while I was in the bath"
Charlotte: "Well I don 't know how you were brought up but that is not acceptable parent-child bath time behavior pass the age of 5, even 4 in some cases. And if you think that I'm bringing a child into that, that I will be that kind of mother then you better think again, she may have raised you like that but I am not your mother."

If it wasn't for that discussion that was held in class that day I would have just watched the episode and let the scene fly by. But the scene triggered a lightbulb and I was able to relate it to a situation outside of the classroom.
