Parenting and Attachment Style

Rejecting-Neglecting Parenting styles have a range of potentially lifelong psychological effects on the children who experience it. These effects range from development of attachment styles, their close interpersonal relationships, self-esteem, world perspectives and in some cases even neurological effects. These can be observed from an outsider perspective but largely dependent on the subjective experience of the child.  In extreme cases there can also be physiological and neurobiological manifestations like depression and predisposition to neurological conditions.
