Sociologists say that childhood socially constructed (which means that it is created and defined by society). They say that the position children have in society is not permanently fixed, it changes over time. This is obvious by looking at how childhood is seen in other cultures and the past. It is accepted in our society now that childhood should be a special time of life, children are seen as being different from adults so should be treated differently because they are physically and psychologically immature and are not able to be dependent. So they are seen to need a lengthy period of time where they are nurtured and socialised before they are seen as responsible adults in society.

Firstly if you start with the absence of any father then this leaves child A without one of the primary care givers and the role that he would’ve filled. This rejection from the father has caused a massive blow to child A’s self-esteem and has left feelings of low self worth, anger and confusion. The absence of the father also meant there was no positive male role model for child A and this may be at

Elizavette is his secure base and when she left the only way he knew how to handle the loss was to act out. When she would return he would cling to her because he needed that feeling of security but would hit or yell at her because he was also showing her that her leaving made him upset. I do not think there is any true answer to children who go through resistant attachment. I feel that everyone reacts to things in different ways and especially at a young age it is hard to reason or explain to them what is going on. I think that if you have two very patient and loving parents the child will learn to cope with it as he or she grows up, like in the case with Noah.

Some children refuse to search for their biological parents and say that their adoptive parents are their "real" parents. The general research demonstrates that while there are some biological components to behavior, that children are usually said to grow in similarity to their adoptive parents. Yet, this present study reveals an inexplicable possible connection to the biological parent as the lack of the relationship may prove significant. Just as identical twins that are separated for some reason feel as if something is missing when they are apart, there may be some sense of loss--either biological or psychological--by the adopted child. Another explanation can be simply that there is a psychological component in the knowledge that one is adopted on the part of the parents and the child.
