1 Describe the conflicting emotions the parent may have that contribute to this fear. In your response, include two negative emotions and a real desire.
Parental conflicts happen due to the disputes that are precedent to greater or lesser interaction of parents and their children. These may imply positive and negative emotions that the parents may have against other people. The intensity, substance, period, and resolution are the most important features of parental conflicts (Barthassat, 2014).
The two classifications of conflicts are constructive, which incites more positive emotional responses, and destructive, which is incites more negative emotional responses. Constructive conflicts include those that involve resolutions, while destructive conflicts include hostility and violence (Barthassat, 2014).
A concrete example involves competition, insecurity, and guilt. Sometimes, a parent becomes competitive when shown a threat, even when the threat to the parent does well to the child. This builds up insecurities toward the other provider that may hold back that other provider from giving attachment to the child. Due to this, the parent becomes consumed by guilt for disallowing other providers to give love and affection to his or her child (Karen, 1998).
2 What does research show about the child's relationship with the primary parental figure when the child has additional attachments to other people?
The quality of the infant-parent attachment is a powerful predictor of a child's later social and emotional outcome.
The quality of the connection between a child and a primary or secondary parental figure is a powerful prognosticating factor of a child's future social and emotional outcomes (Benoit, 2004).
Generally, a child develops an attachment to anyone who shows physical or emotional attention heedlessly of the quality of care. This is true for all children, even with the most negligent and obnoxious caregivers. Hence, the question always lies to the extent of the attachment between a parent and a child (Benoit, 2004).
A child's relationship to the primary parental figure depends mainly on the primary parental figure's attachment style and less to the secondary figure's attachment style. This leads to the child's attachment security or insecurity, which is the key to understanding the child's behavior toward the primary parental figure (National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health UK, 2015).
Research shows that attachment security is highly associated with parental sensitivity, which signifies the parent's inclination to understand a child's behavior. When a parent causes communication distress toward the child, the child tends to be less cooperative and have more withdrawn behavior toward the primary parental figure. This creates a wall between the parent and the child (National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health UK, 2015).
There is a hierarchy of attachments that the child develops with different caregivers. A concrete example is when a child is injured or emotionally hurt. The ways that the caregiver responds to the situation allows the child to have a full grasp and develops the rightful kind of attachment th...
