Answer
**Answer: Attachment issues.** Bowlby's attachment theory suggests that a strong, secure bond between a child and their primary caregiver (usually the mother) is crucial for healthy emotional and psychological development. Separation from this caregiver, especially during the early years of life, can lead to attachment issues, characterized by difficulties forming close relationships, emotional insecurity, and a tendency to withdraw or become overly dependent on others.
