Literature Review
This first part of this assignment discusses about how non-parental care leads to behavioral problems in preschool children that continues on through their middle school years. The importance of the bond of a mother and child in molding a well-behaved child socially and emotionally, and how non-parental care and failure in attachment is associated with behavior problems.
Also, the process of how different styles of attachments are formed with the important people in a child’s life- primary caregiver. In this section, I will be referring to two psychologist attachment theories, which are John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth- ethological theory and the strange situation respectively.
In the last part of this research, I will be identifying the behavior problems children face in preschool due to the long hours of non-parental care and rejection from caregiver at an early age and suggesting ways to help children and parents overcome this problem.
1.0 Introduction
1. Non Parental Care
“Parental care is the process of promoting and supporting the physical, emotional, social and intellectual development of a child from infancy to adulthood.” (Parenting, Wikipedia, 2013)
Non-parental care is defined as “care of a child aging from 0 to 5 being cared for inside or outside the child’s home by someone other than their father or mother for half a day and more.” This can include registered and unregistered childcare centers or care in the child’s home by nannies, grandparents or relatives.
