ATTACHMENT DISORDER SYMPTOMS IN CHILDREN

                             

Reactive attachment disorder can develop when a child fails to receive adequate comfort and nurturing from caregivers. It is grouped under " TRAUMA-AND-STRESSOR RELATED DISORDERS. "
                       

   An essential feature is that the child exhibits an absent or grossly underdeveloped level of attachment towards caregiving adults compared to what is normal or expected. For example, An infant or very young child would be observed as rarely or minimally turning to their adult caregivers for comfort, support, protection, or nurturance.
                     

    Children with reactive attachment disorder are believed to have the capacity to form selective attachments; that can explain child's failure to form a secure relationship with parents or other caregivers.
                     

    # They handle their emotions independently.
    # Do not look for or reach for caregivers for support, nurturance, or protection.
    # Lack a preferred attachment figure.
    # Lack an interest in playing interactive games.
    # Will not ask questions.
    # Will not respond reciprocally. For example; if a parent were to go to comfort their child when he/she is distressed, the child may appear confused, aloof, or fail to hug the adult back. The child may fail to reach out when picked up.
                           
Essentially, the child has not learned to accept or expect a comforting response. As such they may show absent expression of positive emotions during routine interactions with caregivers (e.g., fail to smile). They may have difficulty regulating distressing emotions, resulting in their displaying pervasive patterns of negative emotions, such as, fear, sadness, or irritability in instances in which it is uncalled for.
                   

A diagnosis of reactive attachment disorder should not be made in children who are developmentally unable to form selective attachments. For this reason, the child must have a developmental age of at least 9 months.

THE WAY TO ENCOURAGE SELF-MOTIVATION IN YOUR CHILD

                         

  Self-motivation is a trait that is often underrated. It's more than just getting out of bed in the morning; it can have a huge impact on how well your child does in school.
    Children are naturally motivated to learn until they're about 7 years old. After this time, they'll need the ability to motivate themselves, a vital skill if they are to succeed.
                         

HERE ARE SOME WAYS YOU CAN HELP :
                       

  Encourage Optimism : 
      Focus on SOLUTIONS to problems rather than dwelling on setbacks, combined with having a positive outlook on life. This will encourage your child to adopt the same approach.
                       

  Encourage Persistence :
      Reward effort rather than just success. You will help your child to develop the resilience ( the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties ) they'll need to face failure and to keep trying until they do succeed.
                     

  Deal with Failure :
      Teach your child to accept that sometimes they will failure. Showing them how to lose or win gracefully, will give them the ability to deal with, and move on from, setbacks later in life.

  Encourage Interests :
      Children who have a range of interests will be exposed to different opportunities. Combined with a good work-life balance, this will make the less-interesting task they face less demoralizing and easier to face.
                     

  Celebrate Achievement : 
      Knowing how to celebrate and enjoy success, both their own and other's, will give your child something positive to aim for.
                     

  Make Success Possible : 
      Successful and experience the positive emotions that go with it. Supporting and guiding them will help build the self-esteem that is vital to self-motivation.

  Foster Their Interest : 
     Encouraging a child to learn about things that interest them will allow them to better understand the concepts they learn at school, especially if you are creative about the way you link their interest to learning.
                     

  Adapt To Their Learning Style : 
      Some children will sit and listen to new information. Others want to pick things up and use them straight away. Adapting to their preferred way of learning will keep learning fun and not a chore.
                     
* Parents want to help improve their child's chance of success at school, and later, as adults. By starting early and encouraging your child in the right way, you can help them for the rest of their lives.*

MAKE YOUR CHILD SMARTER ( HOW TO IMPROVE THINKING SKILLS IN CHILDREN ?)

                           

Enhancing thinking skills is best performed in a systematic and well calibrated manner. Your kid will not be ready to think on many aspects of life. Your main goal should focus at motivating his or her inner level of consciousness. Questions that you ask should have simple and proper wordings. Questions should have an easy going manner.
                   

    Experts in human psychology grade thinking skills in humans into six categories. It is easy to develop and enhance thinking skills by using the following six categories :-
                           

  1- Developing knowledge skills : 
               You will need to use right words, phrases and sentences like ; when, how, what, how much, where, tell me, detect, etc. These wording are simple to understand and comprehend and they can help you kid to answer with a fair degree of certainty.
  2- Developing comprehensive skills : 
             Comprehension means grasping. Use these words and phrases ; explain, describe, guess, predict, detect, identify, etc.
      These sample words will help your child to translate, interpret, and guess all those things that are materialistic in nature.
  3- Developing application skills : 
             Use words that urge your kid to applying them to new situations. These words could be ; demonstrate, show, tell, solve, examine, apply, etc.
  4- Developing analysis skills : 
            You can use very simple and easy to understand words like ; what is the main difference, analyze, discuss, explain, compare, arrange, etc. He or she will start thinking about the questions by breaking the questions into many parts.
  5- Developing synthesis skills : 
            You may need to use simple words and phrases like; arrange, rearrange, combine, design, compose, create, make, etc.
      When you ask questions containing these simple words, your child will start thinking to combine all the clues to form a clear pattern.
  6- Developing evaluation skills : 
            You may need to use keywords like; assess, measure, quantify, explain, compare, etc. This skill involves judging, inferring, deciding.
