Francis takes his six-month-old daughter to daycare. A substitute provider is there, and his daughter begins crying. She clings to her father and hides her face. What does this exemplify?

This exemplifies stranger anxiety.

Explanation:

From 6 until around 24 months of age, children can show signs of stranger anxiety. They react to the presence of strangers by, for instance, bursting into tears or shrieking. Stranger anxiety is, however, normal in a child's development process. It begins to happen when they are able to differentiate between their parents/caregivers and others. Francis's daughter has shown signs of stranger anxiety by crying upon seeing the substitute provider at the daycare. She clings to her father, the person she knows and trusts.
