C
Feedback:
Parents who engage in anticipatory grief but the child does not die may have problems reversing the feelings. The parents begin to treat the child in a cold, unfeeling way. This child is a vulnerable child or a fragile child and may develop behavioral problems later such as shoplifting. It is unknown if this child's behavior is linked to the mother and father working outside of the home or if the behavior is because of the other children's needs.
