It could have been harmful for Kandi to have experienced so many disturbances during her early years. As mentioned, she spent a large portion of her infancy alone in her crib, which prevented her from developing a relationship with a caregiver. The child's inability to form close relationships may have resulted from being moved around a lot while in foster care. Bowlby called his theory of the need for all children to develop a closer bond with one person a "monotropic theory." Kandi had no one else because she was alone in her room, cut off from all other human contact, despite Bowlby's assertion that there can be a hierarchy and that there are always others under the order if the primary monotropic attachment fails. Not receiving constant care from the one most important attachment figure for the first two years of life can also cause disruptions, with irreversible long-term effects from this maternal deprivation. Not receiving constant care from the one most important attachment figure for the first two years of life can also cause disruptions, with irreversible long-term effects from this maternal deprivation. It is evident that Kandi has an insecure ambivalent/resistant attachment style when she cries for her foster mother when she leaves for the laundry room but acts indifferent and uninvolved when the foster mother is present. Inappropriate actions toward her teacher and other caregivers, as well as other people who pique her interest, are also a result of this behavior, and these actions may eventually result in other issues like drug abuse and abusive relationships. Kandi lost out on several relationships, including safe attachments, normalcy, and the chance to develop appropriate social skills. A lack of social skills makes it hard to form attachments with people and make friends. Kandi's development will be hindered by Erikson's stages of psychosocial development. She won't be able to balance the different aspects if her needs aren't met regularly throughout the cycle. She'll begin to lose her trustworthiness in both her and those around her. To maintain successful social and emotional health, I would counsel caregivers to strike a balance when attending to needs, as in Erikson's trust vs. mistrust theory. When a child learns to trust, they will feel comfortable and safe in their surroundings; when they do not, they will experience fear and come to believe that the world is unreliable and unpredictable. It is important to find a healthy attachment style for the child so that they feel safe and secure and can turn to the caregiver for support whenever they need it, without the caregiver coming across as uncaring or uninterested. A caregiver can also benefit from Bowlby's attachment theory by understanding what a child needs to develop appropriately, find a monotropy attachment, and establish a hierarchy to meet their needs. For the first few years of life, there is consistency with the one main monotropy, which allows the child to develop a healthy attachment style and prevents any long-term effects that could be detrimental to their development later.
