[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The frequent change of primary caregivers (during a child's first three years, for example) can't result in attatchment disorder?

The issue of your being "offended" is certainly worthy of discussion, in my opinion.

No, the simple change, even frequent change, of nannies during a child's first three years doesn't not result in attachment disorder in the absence of extreme trauma.

The issue of my being offended is pretty simple. My clinical work involves work in attachment disorders. I see the effects every day. To denigrate the challenges faced by families with a member with this diagnosis is insulting. Your ignorance is appalling.[/quote]
After how many primary caregivers, during the first three years, would you be concerned?[/quote]

Seeing as nannies are not most children's primary caregivers (even the 40/50 hour week ones) they are not really even a factor here. These disorders are seen in cases of extreme abuse and neglect and in children who have spent their earliest years in orphanages.  Attachment disorders are severe and require major cognitive, emotional, and behavioral therapy. It is appalling that one poster keeps using this term to try to bolster the grossly inflated opinion she has of her significance in a child's life. [/quote]
