Depending on the types of interactions we have as infants and children with our caregivers, we can form various attachments that have specific characteristics. In some cases, when that bonding process gets interrupted or a child isn’t able to receive the highest quality care, attachment issues can occur. These are often characterized by problematic behavior that occurs during childhood.
