“Secure attachment” describes the relationship between a child and a parent/caregiver seen by that child as a source of stability and comfort. The Miller twins display secure attachment by crying when their parents/caregivers leave them at daycare. When their parents/caregivers return, the twins will seek out physical contact and comfort.

The twins’ crying indicates healthy attachments, not irritable temperaments. The question indicates that, in fact, the twins have calm temperaments. Their shared easy temperament may be due to similar genetics, though fraternal twins show less similarity in temperament than identical twins.
