In Graham Music's book, Nurturing Natures: Attachment and Children's Emotional, Sociocultural, and Brain Development, Music explains to the reader how poverty, neglect and trauma can be associated with PTSD, post-traumatic stress disorder, and how PTSD can turn into long-term psychiatric and even physical medical problems. Neglect of a child can affect them later in life and affect their daily learning, social, mobile and regular functions and activities. The music also shows the reader how early childhood experiences can impact the attachment between mother and child. Additionally, although neglect can occur at any time during development, children are the most vulnerable due to their dependence on adults for survival. It shows the reader that often neglected and traumatized children are difficult to identify because they are afraid to come forward. From birth, children depend on their parents for their survival and safety. Infants need this attachment to survive. Basic needs like shelter and food are things that all human beings need; but for infants and children, especially, they cannot survive independently without parents and guidance. Additionally, as children grow, parent-child attachment is not only physical, but also psychological. Adults who care for children with unconditional love and acceptance, provide a positive living environment and self-confidence that help the child grow into an independent adult. The failure of this child-parent relationship in the form of neglect or long-term trauma can have consequences for a child's physical and psychological development. The parent-child relationship is essential to a child's physical and brain development. In its most literal sense, "trauma" means middle of paper......o growing up in a home where there is neglect, abuse, and trauma often misses out on normal development with attachment and trust. . Without this attachment and trust, neglected children are at risk and vulnerable to experiencing physical, emotional, psychological, educational and interpersonal consequences and risks that can have a detrimental effect on the child's life and development and may progress to PTSD. However, in certain circumstances, if given the opportunity to attach positively to healthy adults, children can overcome even brutal childhood and injury. Finally, it shows how an adult or parent willing to attach, trust, help and work with a child, can radically change the course of that child's life by acting as an advisor, detecting and resolving problems, and being present even in the middle of a conflict and eventually helping the child succeed in life.
