What Is Reactive Attachment Disorder?
8. Prevention
The risk of reactive attachment disorder may be reduced by ensuring a nurturing and loving environment where a healthy bond is developed between the child and caregivers. Physical care needs to be paired with emotional support and loving interactions.
Be consistent in meeting the child’s emotional and physical needs. Talk, play, touch, eye contact and smiling are all important behaviors that support the child in developing a trusting bond. Those who feel like they lack the skills for good parenting may benefit from parenting classes.
