Attachments

[Mockingbird]

Hi all. I've hit a brick wall now... Any help appreciated, thankyou

Q. Other factors that affect the attachments children form..

So far, i have

A child's temperament (outgoing or shy)
Background history (traumatic experiences)
Children who have additional needs (Disability and learning difficulties)
Family environment (breakdown in families-separation, drug-use, alcohol-use, neglect)
A child's feelings/emotions (Anxiety, distress, fear)

There must be more... Help!!!! :-)

Hi
I recently have completed a communication course (lets get talking) and they said unless you ave a good attchment to your key child it will delay them communicating and all areas will then be delayed (which makes sense) but whether this is relevant i don't know. Have you looked up bowlby (attachment theory) might give you more ideas.

Hello

Elements that hinder the attachment process:
Unplanned pregnancy
Debt/Poverty
Relationship breakdown
Bereavement
Substance alcohol misuse
Illness during pregnancy
Heakth scares for baby during pregnancy
Previous infant death in family
Lack of extended family support
History of abuse/poor parenting
Difficult birth/complications
Ill or difficult baby
Inability to to satisfy child in relation to feeding.
Depression/isolation
Unrealistic expectations of pregnancy/birth/parenthood
Being pressured into having a baby.

This list is from attachment training, hope it helps, I have the elements that promote good attachments too if you need them!
