Relationships are very important when it comes to children. From relationships children learn the importance of many things, such as sharing, empathy, curiosity, and of course social skills. However, in order for them to get the most out of their relationships, they need to establish healthy relationships.

How child trauma effects a relationship attachment Children that form attachment bond relationships can possibly start to trust others, control their emotions, and relate to the world. They can sense the world as safe and gain an understanding of their importance as individuals.

In a scenario where a guardian abuses a child, the child then may see the world as a bad place. Most children that
Mother and Child, the nature of relationship portrayed between a mother and child is very tender and personal. The title of this poem directly suggests a connection between a mother and child. The very first line elaborates on this idea, as seen in the metaphor; “No Madonna and child could touch, that picture of a mother's tenderness...” Here the sustained sacred love between the mother and child surpasses the iconography of Mother Mary and Jesus. This signifies that the refugee mother and child shared
The current relationship between the United States government and the American citizens is a “parent-child” relationship; where the government are the parents and the citizens are the children.

“It is a wise father that knows his own child” stated by William Shakespeare, a poet, which suggests that a good parent must have a connection with their child.

That Rises Must Converge At some point in every parent-child relationship, the child gets to a point where he no longer wants to feel dependent upon his parent. In some cases, the child will emotionally detach himself from his parent in order to achieve this feeling of independence.
