When the bough breaks

Current theory holds that if a child does not properly attach itself to a caregiver in the first three years, the implications for later life are profound. This can show up in the form of overly aggressive behavior, serious learning problems, and delinquency. This program followed three sets of parents and their problem children, ages 10 months to 3 years. Two of the children had never slept through the entire night and one had a serious eating disorder. The behaviors pushed the families to the edge of despair in trying to manage them. For this program, cameras were placed in the homes of the families and tapes were made of 3 months of therapy sessions at the C.M. Hincks Treatment Centre in Toronto. The program illustrates that children give out signals of disturbance even before they can speak and if there is not proper intervention, the entire family can be thrown into turmoil.
