Attachment essentially can establish a positive or negative path for childhood development that will impact the way children form bonds and interact with others into adulthood. Outside the foster system, caregiver drug use, mental or physical health issues or lack of understanding can also impede the attachment formed.

The psychological theory of attachment was first described by John Bowlby, a psychoanalyst who researched the effects of separation between infants and their parents (Fraley, 2010).

Bowlby hypothesized that the extreme behaviors infants engage in to avoid separation from a parent or when reconnecting with a physically separated parent—like crying, screaming, and clinging—were evolutionary mechanisms. Bowlby thought these behaviors had possibly been reinforced through natural selection and enhanced the child’s chances of survival.

These attachment behaviors are instinctive responses to the perceived threat of losing the survival advantages that accompany being cared for and attended to by the primary caregiver(s). Since the infants who engaged in these behaviors were more likely to survive, the instincts were naturally selected and reinforced over generations.

These behaviors make up what Bowlby termed an “attachment behavioral system,” the system that guides us in our patterns and habits of forming and maintaining relationships (Fraley, 2010).

Research on Bowlby’s theory of attachment showed that infants placed in an unfamiliar situation and separated from their parents will generally react in one of three ways upon reunion with the parents:

Secure attachment: These infants showed distress upon separation but sought comfort and were easily comforted when the parents returned;
Anxious-resistant attachment: A smaller portion of infants experienced greater levels of distress and, upon reuniting with the parents, seemed both to seek comfort and to attempt to “punish” the parents for leaving.
Avoidant attachment: Infants in the third category showed no stress or minimal stress upon separation from the parents and either ignored the parents upon reuniting or actively avoided the parents (Fraley, 2010).

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

Well if you miss someone then tell them you miss them, even if its an ex boyfriend or an ex bestfriend. But the one thing you dont want to do is go through the pictures you have with someone or the person you miss because that will hurt like s***. And hun the world is not against you, I felt this was once before and i looked through pictures and it really hurt so dont do that and I know youre strong enough to get through this even if i dont know you I know you can get through this. Just take your time with things and surround yourself with people you love and that makes you feel happy and do the things that make you happy with the people that make you happy. If you need to talk I'm here it will be okay, trust me.

A clear understanding of how treating others with dignity and respect can help keep us safe by?
stepladder [879]

Answer:

Explanation:

Treating others with dignity and respect helps keep everyone safe. For example, if someone starts a conversation with you and you don't really like them, instead of walking away or saying something rude, don't say anything, just keep the conversation going and then eventually end it. If you were to say something rude then who knows when they will come back for revenge. Especially if you don't know them that well, you have no idea what they are capable of, so if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all.
