them. The development of those capabilities also rely partly on parenting and their
actions around expressiveness scope.
On the other hand, there are some individual differences that can provoke distinctions
among children in their reactions. One of the causes could be the temperament that is
explained with reactivity and self-regulation concepts. According to some studies that
measure it there are three types of children regarding their facility to adjust themselves
in the future.
The other part that the reading was focused on is the attachment development. It is
believed by Freud that the first bond that a baby establishes with their caregivers is due
to survival functions since they satisfy their needs. However, contemporary researchers
think that involves more, they say that later relationships are influenced not just by the
first attachment but also by the continuing quality of parent-childs relationship. In my
opinion, I think that this continuity is really important. Children need to have a real
referent of a secure base that prepares them for real life. It is also explained that children
out of the different phases of attachment that a child undergoes from birth to 2 years
and on, they construct the Internal Working Model that they can use as a secure base in
the parents absence. Later on, it talks about really interesting factor that can differ in
the outcomes. For example the culture. I agree with the fact of having a loving, secure
attachment with sensitive parents who encourage emotions expressiveness and so, but
however, some cultures do not foster the same values to their children due to their
society might give more importance to others. Furthermore, are plenty the factors that
can intervene in the attachment security, from the infant characteristics or availability
of a consistent caregiver to the parents internal working models. Nonetheless, the true
is that the attachment children establish with their caregivers will marked them for their
future relationships and for their own personality. It has been proved that a secure
attached baby grow up with good self-esteem, developed social skills and capabilities
like empathy, for instance.
To sum up, I would like to emphasize on the many things that contributes in our way of
being nowadays. So many things that we are not aware of and could explain somehow
how we act and why there can be so much differences among us. Emotional education
should be compulsory in all schools in order to cope some difficulties since earlies ages
when we are constructing ourselves. Also, it should be taught for adults to let them
know the process of emotional development and once they are conscious, they can
modify their parenting.
