| The Problem and the Solution with ATTACHMENT Difficulties |
The Problem:
Some children fail to form healthy attachments with their parents. This can
happen when children live with biological, adoptive, or foster parents. It may not
be the fault of the parents. Most of the children who fail to make strong
attachments have trauma(s) in their histories. Trauma can come from any of the
following sources:

biological parents when reunification is an option).

- Childhood neglect and abuse
- Loss of primary caregiver (perhaps several changes of caregivers occurred in
the formative years) - Hospitalizations or other separation from primary caregivers
- Illness or pain that cannot be alleviated by the caregiver

Developmental Psychotherapy and narrative therapy techniques to:
- teach parents to see their children in a positive light and communicate that
view to their children with empathy - help children feel understood as the therapist and the parent(s) communicate
knowledge of the child's inner world with empathy - help children feel safe enough to look to their parents for safety, support and
unconditional love - teach parents and children how to have a special, close relationship
Children with ATTACHMENT difficulties are unable to trust or form healthy
relationships with their parents and others. Attachment is an emotional connection
which impacts all other areas of development (such as physical, neurological,
cognitive, social, etc.)
Children with attachment difficulties develop disturbing behaviors which keep their
caregivers at a distance and reinforce these children's' belief that they are unlovable.
They engage in negative behaviors which can threaten the whole family's well-being.
