The way in which the child behaves during the strange situation is determined by the behaviour the care giver presents to the child. For example insecure children are associated with inconsistent mothers and absent child are associated with unresponsive mothers (Oates, 2005). The desired attachment categorise is secure attachment.secure children are confident that the attachment figure will meet their needs, that they will provide a safe base. The children are easily soothed and look to the figure during distress or upset, these attachments are formed if the figure responses to their needs and is sensitive to their signals (Oates, 2005). As described by winncot ‘ good enough mothers’.
A man whose mate was unfaithful risked investing in offspring who were not his own, while a woman with an unfaithful mate risked the diversion of resources away from her & her children. Sexual jealousy, therefore, may have evolved as a solution to these problems. Men are more jealous of the sexual act; to avoid cuckoldry while women are more
They might also become angry about losing a loved one which could make them unsettled and have bad behaviour. This may occur as depending on age, the child may find it hard or lack the maturity and experience to express how their feeling. This could make them frustrated which could then manifest itself into angry behaviour. 2) New sibling – When a new child is born into a family, this can make the existing child or children feel left out and abandoned as the attention shifts to the new baby. This can cause feelings of jealousy as they fight for the attention of their parents.
There are lots of reasons, for example a child or young person may have suffered abuse from their parents. This will have an effect on the child or young person and could then make it very difficult for them to have positive relationships with anyone else as they could feel that they are unable to trust anyone. Children and young people will have different relationships with friends. These too may be positive or negative. Children and young people will be encouraged to form positive relationships with their friends.
For example a child may not want to be friends with someone in their class any more, they may not enjoy being in their company and want to play with other children instead. We can support the child in ending this friendship by helping them explore their thoughts and feelings, talking to them about why they feel they should end it, what would be the pros and cons of ending it and how they plan to do so. By talking it through with a child care worker the child will be supported and informed so as they can make the best possible choice for themselves. When talking to the child we can show them support by ensuring they know that no matter their reasons for wanting to end the relationship that they will not be judged and that you are there for them no matter which decision they choose to make. There may come a time when we ourselves as child care workers need support in helping the child to end a relationship.
The Color of Water Early childhood experiences are what influence a person to be who they are when they grow up and become an adult. If someone was neglected in their childhood maybe they would grow up adopting a child, or if someone grew up being poor they would give money to charity. Ruchel Dwajra Zylska is faced with a similar predicament in the novel, The Color of Water, by James McBride. Rachael was brought up in an abusive and cruel relationship with her father, Fishel Shilsky, which ultimately affected her future experiences with men. A child and a parent’s relationship influences greatly on choosing a spouse in the future.
Bowlby proposed that an internal working model (IWM) developed in childhood will determine or affect later adult relationships and how successful they are. Ainsworth’s strange situation helped develop three main types of attachment: secure, resistant and avoidant. Secure children develop a positive model of themselves and relationships as their primary caregiver was sensitive, emotionally responsive and supportive. Resistant children have parents who were inconsistent in their care giving, resulting in the child having a negative image of themself - often seeking attention but not finding comfort when they receive it. Avoidant children often have rejecting parents, which leads to them developing an internal model which makes them think they are unacceptable and unworthy.
People with antisocial disorder will act instead of feel; they find it difficult to talk about their personal emotional experiences. The feelings of helpless and a scared victim during childhood stage makes them want to scare and victimize others when they grow up (Hansel & Damour, 2008). Furthermore, the psychodynamic aspect also delves into analyzing early childhood attachments of individuals with antisocial personality disorder. Gabbard (2000) stated that “normal parent-child attachment paves the way for the internalization of a morally guiding superego and the ability to empathize with others. People with antisocial personality disorder show abnormal superego functioning and a lack of empathic ability to imagine how others feel, presumably due to disrupted parent-child relationships” (Hansel & Damour, 2008, p.
Breaking confidentiality can result in police involvement and court proceedings. Active support should be provided to the child; children need someone who can provide necessary support and are proactive in a practical way. A person should try their upmost to increase the child’s self confidence and raise their self esteem so that they are resilient and empowered. Children who know they are wanted and loved and who are used to making decisions are more likely to decline unwanted advances and therefore less likely to be drawn into exploitative situations. Children should be given the correct information according to their ages, needs and abilities.
If a child is afraid to go home that could be a strong sign that the child will be abused there. Neglect can also be somewhat easier to identify, if a child's attire is dirty, or does not fit properly can be signs the parents are not paying attention to the way they dress. If the child is constantly displaying poor hygiene, or appears to be experiencing malnutrition, these could also be signs of neglect. Children that are displaying a knowledge of sexual information that is beyond the age of the child can possibly have experience with sexual abuse. A child that has trouble sitting or walking may have just recently experience sexual abuse as
