 NNCC Attachment
The adults who develop secure attachments with their very young infants respond to crying more quickly.
While the infant may have other caregivers as well, having a primary caregiver will provide the continuity that infants need to form strong attachments to the important adults around them.
Why do some infants form a secure attachment with adults, while others don't?

 Fonagy:Transgenerational Consistencies of Attachment: A New Theory
Attachment theorists have assumed that securely attached adults are more sensitive to their children’s needs thus fostering an expectation in the infant that dysregulation will be rapidly and effectively met (Belsky, Rosenberger, and Crnic, 1995; De Wolff and van IJzendoorn, 1997).
Secure attachment and reflective function are, I believe, overlapping constructs and the vulnerability associated with insecure attachment lies primarily in the child’s diffidence in conceiving of the world in terms of psychic rather than physical reality.
Secure attachment in its turn provides the psychosocial basis for acquiring an understanding of mind.

 A Brief Overview of Adult Attachment Theory and Research R. Chris Fraley
Research on adult attachment is guided by the assumption that the same motivational system that gives rise to the close emotional bond between parents and their children is responsible for the bond that develops between adults in emotionally intimate relationships.
Perhaps the most provocative and controversial implication of adult attachment theory is that a person's attachment style as an adult is shaped by his or her interactions with parental attachment figures.
The earliest research on adult attachment involved studying the association between individual differences in adult attachment and the way people think about their relationships and their memories for what their relationships with their parents are like.

In fact, the attachment continuum runs from securely attached through degrees of attachment issues all the way to those who suffer from severe attachment disorder as in my son's case.
With this in mind, we do not want people to become wary of adoption because of attachment disorder.

Some may be particularly alert to the earliest indications of intentionality, others may need stronger indications before perceiving the child’s mental state and modifying their behavior accordingly.Others, as we described in the context of early infancy, may systematically misperceive the child’s states of mind, with resulting deformation of the child’s sense of himself.

 Your Guide to Reactive Attachment Disorder
RAD occurs when attachment between a young child and his or her primary caregiver does not occur or is interrupted due to grossly negligent care.
Reactive attachment disorder (RAD) is a condition found in children who have received grossly negligent care and who do not form a healthy emotional attachment with their primary caregivers -- usually their mothers -- before age 5.
It is through attachment with a loving and protective caregiver that a young child learns to love and trust others, to become aware of others' feelings and needs, to regulate his or her emotions, and to develop healthy relationships and a positive self-image.

 Understanding Reactive Attachment Disorder: Understanding Reactive Attachment Disorder
Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is a psychological impairment formed in the earliest years of life, initiated when an infant does not bond with his primary caregiver (generally after learning or feeling that the caregiver cannot be trusted to provide for his needs).
Without a secure attachment to a caregiver in the first year of life, children may not successfully proceed through crucial developmental cycles in the second year.
Addressing and overcoming Reactive Attachment Disorder is a slow and difficult road, but it is possible to heal.

 Defend Marriage
Research on a broad range of problems in our society are underscoring the importance of stable families, with a father and mother present in the home, as the only reliable way to produce responsible and contributing adults.
However, the primary reason why homosexual activists are pushing to legalize same sex marriage is because it would constitute legal recognition of their sexual behavior and legitimize it as an acceptable alternative to normal heterosexual marriage, both to themselves and to society as a whole.
The causes of this disorder are complex and not completely understood, but there is substantial and credible evidence that the environment in which a child is reared is a significant contributor.

Resentment and mistrust, that result from spanking, sabotage the child’s feelings of attachment to the most important adults in his or her young life.
In fact, being spanked throws children into a state of powerful emotional confusion making it difficult for them to learn the lessons adults claim they are trying to teach.

It is a characteristic feature of education programmes within the adult education system that the work and life experience of the adults plays an important role in connection with the organisation of the education programmes as well as their content, profile and duration.
The organisation of the content and teaching methods of the continued education programmes within the adult education system is also to a high degree based on the life and work experience of the adults.

 Frenectomy
In adults receiving a frenectomy in the lower jaw to correct the fit of dentures, there is a risk of bruising the nerve that provides sensation to the lower lip and chin.
Adults receiving dentures may need a frenectomy if the position of a frenum (usually one between the cheek and gum in the back of the mouth, or in the middle of the upper or lower lip) will interfere with the proper fit of the denture.
The procedure to remove this is a called labial frenectomy and involves the removal of tissue attachment between the two front teeth as the gap between the teeth can again pushed apart by the frenum, even after it being initially corrected via a different procedure.

Adults have both a prohaptor (for feeding) and an opisthaptor (for attachment).
Some parasitologists divide Monogenea into two subclasses based on the complexity of their haptor: Monopisthocotylea have one main part to the haptor, often with hooks or a large attachment disc, whereasPolyopisthocotylea have multiple parts to the haptor, typically clamps.
These groups are also known as Polyonchoinea and Heteronchoinea, respectively.
