1.1 theories of attachment
John Bowlby 1907-1990 was a theorist who had a key idea for the attachment theory, were there is a unique emotional bond between mother and child. He believed that early experiences in childhood affected how the child may develop and behave in later life. Bowlby believed that attachment had a basis in evolution and attachments were biologically built into us. Characteristics of attachment are;
Proximity maintenance: the desire to be a near a person we know, we see this a lot in children when they are being dropped off at schools nursery and throughout the day asking for main carer ie nannie granddad mummy daddy.
Safe Haven: returning to the attachment figure when they feel that they are being threatened or at risk and become scared- we also see this is setting were a child may be being bullied wanting mum/dad or a teacher that they feel they can talk to.
Secure Base: the attachment figure ie mum dad nannie granddad act as the base for the child when they are going and exploring, for example going to a play group they will feel happy and be free to Rome were they wish but will always come back to see if you’re there, while they are exploring their own world of environment.
Separation Distress: Anxiety or nervousness that may occur when the parent or carer has left the room, you may see the child become upset if they are not used to their care figure having left them for the first time.
Long term effects of a child not having an attachment with their carer given figure could be;
-delinquency were they may copy what other people do IE Behaviour seeing that have attention from others, they may copy to then receive the same attention.
-reduced intelligence from not wanting to concentrate or having lack of concentration.
-increased aggression they may have a feeling of insecurity and neglect that could lead to depression.
