The Attachment Theory

The child is unable to predict the carer’s behaviour as they tend to display behaviour that is inconsistent (Howe, 2005). The final insecure behaviour type is disorganised, here the child shows no attachment style behaviour, can appear confused and even blank in the carers presence. A carer displaying this style of attachment can show behaviour that is scary for the child, can be abusive and even neglectful (Howe, 2005). When looking an attachment theory and how it relates to development I will be relating this to all areas of development. Areas that relate to childhood development include, physical both fine and gross motor, social, emotional, communication, language and cognitive development.

In “The Favorite Child” by Ellen Weber Libby, the author shows how favoritism can have a negative effect on the favored child as well as the unfavored child. Throughout the essay, Libby explains how parents favoring one child over another can result in both the favored and unfavored child experiencing depression in their life. There are many ways that favoritism can impact the unfavored child in a negative way. First off, the unfavored children have never received affirmation from their parents so they often live their lives looking for validation. They grow up insecure and don't feel that they are lovable.

These children require strong connections to their teachers/carers and they are ill equipped to form appropriate relationships in the early stages of intervention. The children come to new relationships with multi-faceted problems. On the one hand they are extremely needy yet they are extremely suspicious of those who offer friendship. They will be reluctant to trust anyone because of their history of being let down or rejected.

These children yarn for attention from their PCG’s and is often given the cold shoulder. The child may lash out due to lack of emotion from their PCG’s. These children are emotionally affected and tend to develop avoidance from others subsequently from previous

Christopher becomes quite irritated when experiencing sensory stimulation whether it be physical touch, visual overload, or a hypersensitivity to sounds. Because Christopher is negatively affected by physical stimuli, it is difficult for him to develop relationships with his family when they want to connect with him, or people in society when they unintentionally touch him without being aware of his condition. Haddon shapes the reader’s understanding of Christopher by providing information about Christopher that would not be available if it were not coming directly from Christopher’s thoughts. Excessive visual and auditory stimulus also causes Christopher to enter a state of distress where he is unable to communicate effectively with those around him; thus, making it difficult for him to remain in highly stimulating, social environments such as the grocery store for even short periods of time. This has a negative effect on his ability to socialize or make relationships in unfamiliar

Once the foster parents feel that they can not control the child's emotional outbursts, or misbehaving, they become disconnected. “Other child welfare authors have documented the intrapsychic conflict that many foster care children experience as a result of traumatic separation from biological parents. This conflict is often manifest by expressed or observed feeling of guilt, rejection, abandonment and shame” (Gonzales). The foster parents begin to feel helpless, which can lead them to stop caring for the child, causing more emotional detachment for the

equipment may last the nursery just as long as more expensive equipment and resources would. To move on to psychological barriers, they are more related to parents rather than children, this barrier can consist of parent’s phobia of not being able to trust the staff with their child and there for thinking that there child is in danger. A psychological barrier cans latter impact the child as they may also pick up negative feelings towards the nursery causing them to have a lack of enthusiasm when attending nursery, the child may also appear to be clingy and unhappy at the thought of being away from parents in addition to this shyness and a lack of confidence may be more persistent in the child’s behaviour which will lead to the child being more dependent on their carer. Parents will also be affected by psychological barriers as it may result in their behaviour to turn antisocial and in many cases they will often be prone to interfering and phoning up the nursery multiple times just to double check.

Many relation problems start with lack of communication. Assuming that you know what your partner or spouse is thinking is dangerous to your relationship. Misunderstandings and arguments are often the result of not communicating with your spouse or partner.

To start with, it is harmful to self-esteem and academic achievement of children. A severe and demanding parenting would result in parental pressure, children often feel despairing (Masayo, Ayuko, Keiichiro,Toshinori 2013 ; Shek 1999) . Since children lack the personal experience, they are difficult to find a method to express feeling and notion.

Although Wuornos life was filled with abandonment, abuse, and neglect, Bowlby (1969) asserted that the inability to bond or form attachments and, therefore, to develop empathy for others is often a result of inconsistent or lack of caring, especially during the person’s childhood. According to attachment theory, it is critical for the child to develop trust and security from the primary caregivers. Without this development, the child begins to form an internal working model of others as unreliable, untrustworthy, and unresponsive to the childs needs. Throughout Wuornos childhood, she developed secondary conditional strategies, such as hyper-vigilance and detachment, to cope with her exposure to abuse and the failure to have her needs met.

One of the well-known psychologists in the whole world, John Bowlby has researched and concluded how important it is for every human being to create social attachment. Important Bowlby’s theory is the theory about attachments that says how every child that is born has an urge to create attachments, because these attachments are necessary for our surviving skills. He said that if a baby that is six months old is separated from his mother, he will suffer as a grown-up person in a way where his responses to situations where he has to separate from his company, will result in a destructive behavior. Bowlby emphasized how important mother-figure is in an infant’s life by stating that without that first connection, it will be hard for that person
