In children, symptoms of attachment disorder can appear as defiant behaviors, a willingness to follow strangers, and even threats of violence toward parents or caregivers. These children also tend to struggle with peer relations, which can make childhood a challenging time. A wide range of attachment disorder symptoms can develop during this time.
