Attachment
Disorder
"Attachment
disorder is based on the psychological theories that 1) normal
mother-child attachment forms in the first two years of life
and 2) if a normal attachment is not formed during the first
two years, attachment can be induced later. This theory is
used, for example, to explain the behavioral difficulties of
adopted children.." Source:

Attachment theory
is primarily an
evolutionary and
ethological theory. In relation to infants, it primarily
consists of proximity seeking to an attachment
figure in the face of threat, for the purpose of
survival.Although an attachment is a "tie" it is not
synonymous with love and affection although they often go
together and a healthy attachment is considered to be an
important foundation of all subsequent relationships.
Infants become attached to adults who are sensitive and
responsive in
social interactions with the infant, and who remain as
consistent caregivers for some time. Parental responses lead
to the development of patterns of attachment which in turn
lead to 'internal working models' which will guide the
individual's feelings, thoughts and expectations in later
relationships." Source:

Teaching
Strategies
"Consequences for inappropriate
behaviors must be given with NO anger. Lectures,
warnings, bribes, second chances and reminders
are all ineffective techniques that will not
help this child" Source:
