Children of separated couples may also perform worse at school and have poorer future employment prospects. Some children are less likely to have successful relationships themselves as adults. However, it is not inevitable that all children will suffer long term harm from the break up of a parent’s relationship.

When the mother returns, the infant gives mixed signals. Some people believe that the infants should not have been put under that stress just for an observation. It is both distressing for the caregiver and child. Also, this standardized procedure is repeated many times causing more infants to
Competency Goal 3 To support social and emotional development and to provide positive guidance In my program I help children achieve a positive sense of self by providing an anti-bias environment where everyone feels accepted. This is done by placing several photos around the room. There is a family photo poster on the wall, as well as an abstract collage of the children’s faces. I also put pictures up from special events such as field trips and parties. Artwork is always displayed around my room, dangling from the ceiling, or taped to the wall at their eye level.
Separation anxiety 3.Reunion behaviour 4.Stranger Anxiety. One of the biggest weaknesses of Ainsworth’s experiment was that it may not just measure the attachment types of the infant but more so the quality of the relationship between the infant and caregiver. Second of all an experiment by Main and Weston found that infants behave differently depending on the parent that they are with. Therefore this could mean that SS doesn’t actually fully measure what it is meant to which automatically decreases the validity of the strange situation as a measurement of attachment type. On the other hand some may argue that the only relationship that is of relevance is your primary caregiver, which is the

When an infant has had an attachment and it has been broken. There is research done into deprivation by Bowlby. This is his Maternal deprivation hypothesis, which stated the belief that if an infant was unable to build a "warm, intimate, continuous relationship with its mother", it would then result in having difficulties building relationships with other people and also the risk of behavioural disorders. This hypothesis says that relationships that are discontinuous or where there are separations becomes unstable which causes the development of the relationship to be disrupted. It focuses on how important an relationship between a mother and child is.
After I had completed my activity with them they were asking me many different questions for example, ‘how did you make the jigsaw’ and ‘can I have ago at using the finger puppets’, so by that they were also developing their communication skills. By doing this nursery rhyme it was also good for the children who didn’t have very good communication because by learning the song they were learning new words and actions in a fun way. I really felt like the children enjoyed my activity and I felt it was a really good way for me to communicate with the children, even the shy ones. 2. I had three different examples of incidents I had to deal with or report in placement.
It can affect the child in many ways as they can become nervous and anxious resulting in them becoming withdrawn and have a lack of confidence at the thought of a new school, they may be leaving close friendship groups making them upset and feeling alone. Most children will experience a new baby in the family. Younger children may find this difficult as they will still be used to having all of the attention and not understand why the family set up has changed, this could lead them to reverting back to baby ways themselves, have tantrums, be unkind to the new baby or become clingy. An older child may feel left out and become withdrawn and feel in the way, which could result in them not feeling a part of the new family. They may endure sleepless nights and loose sleep making them tired and unable to concentrate when at school.
Attachment Difficulties Bowlby’s theory of Maternal Depravation held the importance of attachment issues in a child’s development and how this may impact in later life. Bowlby’s studies in the 1940’s with emotionally disturbed juveniles showed that a number of the juveniles had been separated from their mothers for a long period as a child, some of the youngsters showed no affection or care for others, this Bowlby termed as “affectionless psychopathy”. Bowlby argued that anti-social behaviour was due to separation between the mother and child. He also tried to reason that a bad home life was better for a child as the attachment between mother and child would continue. Bowlby believed that through this research working mothers should think about the child’s needs and stay at home.
