What will be an ideal response?
The study was strongly influenced by attachment theory, which emphasizes the unique importance of the caregiver–infant relationship. They found that both physical and emotional neglect in early childhood were associated with long-term adjustment problems. For example, children that experienced physical neglect had height rates of anxious attachment, low levels of enthusiasm during toddler years. In elementary school they had pervasive adjustment problems, high rates of internalizing and externalizing behaviors. They also had high rates of alcohol use, delinquency, and school drop-out. In terms of emotional neglect, consequences may be even more profound. At 18 months, all emotionally neglected children were anxiously attached. During toddlerhood, emotionally neglected children displayed more anger and noncompliance. Neglected children have fewer positive peer relationships, more social problems, delinquency, suicidality, and mental health disorders.
