Attachment Lab..


I think a factor that affects a childs tragectory is whether or not the family moved around a lot or not. Moving is something that a child must adjust to. Some children may not be willing to move because of attachments to their surroundings. If the child is not willing to move they may speak out towards the parents and become rebellious when they were previously not.

I think this is an interesting dimension to add to the issue at hand. Adding on to how moving is something that a child must adjust to, moving a lot may influence how a child establishes attachments in the future since it could allow the child to form attachments easily with each new home or hold back the child from forming new attachments to each place due to the expectation of having to move again soon or due to the lingering attachment to the first home. As for moving towards a higher well-being later in life, moving a lot can allow the child to acquire lots of knowledge and experience about the various places the he or she gets to live in, but at the same time, it might also lead to not giving the child enough time to not only assimilate into each new community but also learn about the "truth" of each new environment.
