Childhood Attachment

All children and young people need strong attachments, this is said by the theorist John Bowlby. John Bowbly said that children and young people will need consistency, trust and a good bonding weather it is their key worker or the parent of the child. If the child or young person has someone which can they can trust, the transitions will be more easier for the child. Children who have positive relationships on transitions can have long term impacts which is having the ability to cope and be more strong. Children and young are likely to be more successful academically and socially they will feel cared for, valued and respected their learning development will continue instead of dip. Also, they will feel more confident to explore and have self

Bowlby’s theory is an evolutionary theory because, in his view attachment is a behavioural system that has evolved because of its survival value and, ultimately, its reproductive value. According to Bowlby, children have an innate drive to become attached to a caregiver because attachment has long-term benefits. Both attachment and imprinting ensure that a young animal stays close to a caregiver who will feed and protect the young animal. Thus attachment and imprinting are adaptive behaviours. Infants who do not become attached are less likely to survive and reproduce. Attachment ‘genes’ are perpetuated, and infants are born with an innate drive to become attached.

those around him; his relationship with God would be a negative one, promoting a negative image of God.

Attachment is something many children are bound to go through and it is something totally normal. As a phycologist running a childcare I would advise that many of the children will go through secure attachment. Secure attachment tends to happen a lot, in the article I studied it stated "Children who experience sensitive and responsive care will develop trust in others, comfort with closeness and adaptive ways of dealing with stress" (Goldner pg 2407). This basically means experiencing things with the parent or guardian such as being with them 24/7 or doing things for the child will increase the trust of the child. Doing so more often will develop that secure attachment from the child to the guardian or vice versa. Secure attachment is a positive

Different types of love plays a huge impact on today’s society. There are unhealthy types of love typically found in teenagers, but that is also found in Mother to children love. Stated By Hazan, Cindy, Shaver and Phillip, “The possibility that romantic love is an attachment process—a biosocial process by which affectional bonds are formed between adult lovers, just as affectional bonds are formed earlier in life between human infants and their parents. Key components of attachment theory, developed by Bowlby, Ainsworth, and others to explain the development of affectional bonds in infancy, were translated into terms appropriate to adult romantic love. The translation centered on the three major styles of attachment in infancy—secure, avoidant,

Attachment theory examines the mannerisms of the infant and caregiver, how they relate to each other, and how they reinforce each others’ behaviors. Touching, tickling, holding, picking up, vocalizing, looking, and both proto-imperative and proto-declarative pointing are all part of those behaviors. A safe haven is generally the physical location about the caregiver where the infant feels safe while a safe harbor is the area around the caregiver where the infant feels comfortable to explore their world. Through the Strange Situation test, Ainsworth and Mains determined four categories or styles of attachment, which have been both praised and criticized through the years but remain generally consistent, even when performed in multiple cultures:

“Attachment is a deep and enduring emotional bond that connects one person to another across time and space’’

Every culture has taboos, a cultural standard of shared values and appropriate practices. They can cover behavior, clothing choice, food, sexual activity, even social perception. These cultural rules ensure a cohesive environment where nobody feels uneasy about the actions of others. Yet, some taboos get challenged through individuals rebelling or using the breaking of a taboo to establish dominance, or another social group disregarding another cultures taboo even though it could lead to social punishment.

The enduring impact of early security of attachment has later challenges of adaptation and adjustment.

According to the research done by Mario Mikulincer, there is a correlation between attachment style and the mental representation of the self. Six studies were done in order to determine the association between attachment style and multiple aspects of the mental representation of the self in adolescents. “Results indicated that secure and avoidant persons had a more positive view of themselves than anxious-ambivalent persons,” (Mikulincer 1995). Additionally, secure people were found to have a more balanced, complex, and organized self-structure than insecure people, either avoidant or anxious-ambivalent.

Throughout this report I will focus on Tracy and her mother Susie. I will discuss the importance of a child’s form of attachment and the effects it can have on their development. I will also look in depth at Uri Bronfenbrenner’s work on the Ecological systems of human development to gain insight into how social and cultural influences can impact behaviour. Furthermore I will look at a range of behaviours that Tracy has shown, as a result of her family upbringing and how Susie’s drug misuse may have had an impact on their attachment and led to Tracy showing signs of resilience. I will discuss the resilience matrix, which is a part of Getting It Right For Every Child (GIRFEC), 2008 approach and will use it as suggested way of supporting Tracy. I will also discuss how societies perception of young mothers can impact the way people feel they need to behave and how this leads to this group of individuals being discriminated against. I plan to look closely at how we use theory to work along side individuals or families without taking over and empower them to make positive life changes. A form of intervention that allows for this is Task Centred Practice, which I will look at. I suggest that this paper will allow me to gain insight into the ways in which people react to different events in their life and how theory helps us to support them as an individual.

Good evening America. This is your FOX News' reporter, Sydney Salomon tuning you into tonight's worldwide special, Journey to Mars.

Mars is a rich destination for scientific discovery and robotic and human exploration as we expand our presence into the solar system.

According to Strong et al. (2013), attachment can be defined as a person who has a bond with another person; this type of relationship can be formed during infancy and develop over time. Attachment involves having relations with two people that includes a desire for regular contact and expresses a certain amount of anguish whenever separated.
