Parental Attachment and Its Impacts on Development - A Cultural Perspective

Introduction

In past decade, issues related to parenting and child developments have been highlighted to great extent. Parental input is the chief element that influences us during embryonic stages of our life. It is a wide-spread theory that no social bond is more vital than the first bond between parent and baby. Human baby is born with natural drives and instincts. An attachment is a tough love knot that binds an individual to a close companion. Nearly every one of us forms our first attachment with our parents.

The most important aspect of child development is the growth of child's mentality, attitude and approaches with respect to its cultural orientation (Cotterell, 1992). With the increase in globalization, cultural diversity is also increasing. World has become a global village and thus parenting styles, traditional approaches and thinking dimensions are changing radically. Attachment is associated with self-image, core beliefs, self-esteem, academic achievement, well-being, empathy, psychological health and relational development (Ogawa, Gudykunst & Nishida, 2004). The attachment varies across cultures and so does the development of children. This contributes to the variety of attitudes, beliefs, approaches, psychology and diversity of outlooks and perceptions (Daly, 2000).

The research paper would examine perception of attachment among culturally diverse society. It explores how parental attachment differs in different cultures and how it impacts the development of the children. The content is designed to explore the consequences of child development in multi cultural society in relation with the parental attachment. The study will also examine and analyze perceptions of parent and children attachment under the light of multiculturalism. Next, the study is aimed to review the insights of attachment and diverse cultures.
