Describe The Relationship Between Bowlby And Anisworth

A. The message the authors, Bowlby and Anisworth, are trying to relate are, the impacts of stress on the biology body and minds, that disrupts the relationships on children’s social and emotional development. Healthy relationship is critical to children’s prosocial development, and attachment theory explains how the parent-child bond typically provides the building blocks for all future relationships by helping children master skills they will need to engage with others in positive and productive ways, to manage emotions and regulate stress. Bowlby was interested in understanding the separation anxiety and distress that children experience when separated from their primary caregivers. (J. Bart Klika, 2018)
Life course theory offers and another perspective that emphasizes the ways in which early adversity shapes an individual’s developmental trajectory and how transitions and turning points influence out comes that are shown at various life stages. The antisocial behavior varies, but usually they include some form of family problems, harsh or inconsistent disciplinary practices or actual child abuse, frequent changes in primary caregiver or in housing, learning or cognitive disabilities, or health problems.

Ainsworth observation, Secure attachment.
is marked by distress when separated from caregivers and joy when the caregivers returns. Remember, these children feel secure and able to depend on their adult caregivers. When the adult leaves, the child may be upset but he or she feels assured that the parent or caregiver will return. When frightened, securely attached children will seek comfort from caregivers.
Ambivalently attached: Ambivalently attached children usually become very distressed when a parent leaves; ambivalent attachment is a result of poor maternal availability. These children cannot depend on their mother, or caregiver. to be there when the child is in
need.
Avoidant attachment: Children with an avoidant attachment tend to avoid parents or caregivers. When offered a choice, these children will show no preference between a caregiver and a stranger; this attachment style might be a result of abusive or neglectful caregivers.
B. Example, of how the perspective of attachment theory can be considered maltreatment. Maltreatment can take place with a mother who suffers from depression. A depressed mother can have problems bonding and connecting with her child, eye contact when feeding her infant, less inclined to play with her child, due to the mother is consumed with her own pain of depression; she may not be responsive to her infant. Failure to form secure attachments early in life can have a negative impact on behaviors in later childhood and throughout life.
