What Are The Symptoms Of Reactive Attachment Disorder?

Not Seeking Support

A child with reactive attachment disorder might not seek support even in situations where they need it. Preschool teachers and parents might notice children with this condition don't reach out for assistance or help even when it's needed, such as to get objects down from high places or help with homework. This can be attributed to an early failure to meet all of the child's emotional and support needs. If a child is not receiving the nurturing and support they need in their environment, they will learn not to seek it out. Failing to ask for assistance can make it more difficult for children to learn important life skills. It can also cause them not to ask for help in situations where they're experiencing serious distress.
