in early childhood tend to continue throughout life and that as human beings we are wired to connect and seek healthy social engagement and connectedness with others. Early bonds with our parents/caregivers sets the tone in patterns for how we pursue future relationships with others, and, more importantly how we see our place in the world (Berzoff, Flanagan, & Hertz, 2011).

Mommy Issues Parenting styles influence children in their present and future decisions. Children have the ability to absorb all of the teachings their parents have to offer, but it is the most important lessons that are prudent in a child’s development. Paul, the young son in “The Rocking-Horse Winner,” attempts to appease his mother by anonymously donating money to her. Maggie, the youngest daughter in “Everyday Use,” acts submissively in order to outcompete Dee, the eldest daughter whom is the
bodies and minds develop very quickly. Because these developments are made in the areas of motor, language, and cognition, it is easiest to understand them through the medical model. I will use Ainsworth’s styles of attachment, Chess and Thomas’ temperament styles, and caregiving styles to explain my development through this early stage of life. Ainsworth Mary Ainsworth uses four different types of attachment to discuss relationships between caregiver and infant: secure, insecure avoidant, insecure
reported frequencies for ASD are most likely due to a combination of factors including broader diagnostic criteria and increased awareness as well as a true increase in the number of people with ASD (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Autism it self does not effect life expectancy and, in general, people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) can expect to live as long as the non-cognitively impaired population (National Autism Association,

He emphasizes on caregiving relationships to reinforce positive behavior, it is dependent on the ability of the care giver to correctly analyze
The Application of the Theory of Attachment Many psychologists have come and gone, and many different theoretical orientations have been developed. With each orientation has come a new perspective on development, behaviour and mental processes. Some are similar, yet others could not be more contradictory. Attachment is one such theoretical orientation, developed by John Bowlby out of his dissatisfaction with other existing theories. Although Bowlby rejected psychoanalytical
Introduction Attachment is one of the developmental milestones that begins during conception and remains throughout one’s life. It is defined as the “strong affectionate tie we have for special people in our lives that lead us to experience pleasure and joy when we interact with them and to be comforted by their nearness in times of stress” (Berk, 2011, p. 264).

Health concerns remain a stressor for parents of children with Down syndrome throughout the ages. Solomon (2012) found that as adults most children with Down syndrome still lived at home with their parents as caretakers or lived in a group home.

One of the problems with Down syndrome is that if affects cognition, which influences language
CHAPTER 2 LITERATURE REVIEW INTRODUCTION This chapter will provide an overview of resilience and the factors that affect it will be discussed.
