Discuss and critically evaluate the evidence on attachment types

 Discuss and critically evaluate the evidence on attachment types as a risk factor for later internalising/emotional and externalising/behavioural problems.

Babies and young children who have attachment issues may be more likely to develop behavioural problems such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or conduct disorder (Fearon et al, 2010)14. Children who have attachment issues can have difficulty forming healthy relationships when they grow up.
