How does a child with an attachment disorder act?

Attachment Disorder

Some children with attachment disorders perceive threat and hostility in others even though there may be no reason to do so. This most often is the result of the child being on the defense for long periods of time, as in the case of abuse or multiple transisions beween caregivers. These defense patterns become set over time, with the child using aggressive, hostile, and manipulative behaviors even in situations that do not call for such behaviors.
