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.

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.

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).

CHAPTER 2 LITERATURE REVIEW INTRODUCTION This chapter will provide an overview of resilience and the factors that affect it will be discussed.
