Although the attachment of the child depends on its parents, the outcome of this attachment and the future well being of the child may be highly influenced by the parents economic status, and the childs relationship with other family members such as siblings. Having a healthy economic environment will reduce the stress in the childs home, which will help with the babys relationship with its parents. Having a healthy relationship with family members will encourage and teach the child how to relate to other people in friendly ways.
I largely in part agree with your response, however it is possible that a child with too wealthy of an economic environment could suffer from social issues. Let's say for example that you gave your child everything he/she ever wanted, often times the child would be simply playing by his/herself with all of its own toys. Sharing and other important social behaviors may not be reienforced and this could lead to the child isolating him/herself whenever other children are around.
I agree to disagree with your statement. I agree that in some cases that economic stability reduces some stress, which can ultimately have a better relationship with your kid. But on the flip side, if the parents are very wealthy and have jobs that require a lot of their time and focus, that in turn can lead a disconnect between the relationship they have with their. Since they will not be around as much, the baby would begin to feel lonely and develop the anxious/avoidant type of behavior in the presence of their mother. I do also agree that having a strong relationship with other family memebers like a sibling or even cousins can also help develop the child
I agree with this point but at the same time disagree. The book pointed out that "the proportion of children showing "secure" attatchment is lower in lower income families". It is true that economic status matters for the future of the children, but it is not that healty economic children have reduced stress. I think higher income families's children also carries equivalent amount of stress. Later in life, the higher income child might not be able to adjust to the society for he was always given what he wanted and he always got what he wanted. They could easily be "spoiled". Amount of income does matter, but the amount of stress? i don't know.
I agree that economic standing is a major influence on attachment. Too many take fo rgranted the difficulties associated with an unstable economic situation and having financial issues creates a displadcement in anyone's mind. Nomatter how optomisic, a lack of security, which must somehow come across in one's interactions with children and babies, therefore results in a not-so-secure feeling of attachment during their upbringing.
