UNIT A4 SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT ACROSS LIFE STAGES
WHY ATTACHMENT MIGHT NOT GO SMOOTHLY
PREMATURITY
A baby born too early, before 37 weeks of pregnancy is considered to be premature. Prematurity can cause long term effects with cognitive abilities due to how the brain works, so this can cause something such as reactive attachment disorder that can impair a child's ability to function in normal social situations
POSTNATAL DEPRESSION
This is a common occurrence in women who have just recently given birth. It can prevent attachment from going smoothly because those who suffer with depression may find it difficult to deal with and interact with others properly. It can cause you to become withdrawn from your own baby.
SEPERATION
Separation between parents may cause distress for a child if they are deprived of one of their attachments. Visiting between the two may also make it hard to adjust being away from one of the attachments for certain periods of time.
FOSTER CARE
Having multiple caregivers or being placed in multiple homes can make it difficult for an infant to form attachment, or cause them distress when being away from an already existent attachment.
EMOTIONAL UNAVAILABILITY
If an infant does not have a caregiver that is sensitive and responsive to their needs, they are unlikely to receive the proper care and love they need to form an attachment and develop healthily. It could lead to ambivalent attachment or insecure attachment.
DISABILITY
If a child is being focused on by one specific caregiver to respond to their needs, this could develop into clinginess, or a child being unwilling to form attachments with others.
