Although the existing research suggests diverse outcomes, scholars have documented that young
children exposed to trauma (for example, maltreatment and other forms of violence) are more likely than
children who have not been exposed to trauma to experience physiologic changes at the neurotransmitter and hormonal levels (and perhaps even at the level of brain structure) that render them susceptible to heightened arousal and an incapacity to adapt
emotions to an appropriate level.21 This emotional state increases their sensitivity to
subsequent experiences of trauma and impairs their capacity to focus, remember, learn, and engage in self - control.22
Subsequent research suggested that
children who are securely attached in their early years: to better recognize, judge and understand

Previous MCS studies have related broad composite measures of father engagement in caring activities to
subsequent child behavioural outcomes using subscales of total difficulties (
emotion, conduct, attention or peer problems)[38 — 40]: most effects were very small and not statistically significant, but (among the large number of analyses performed), inverse associations were reported for (a) engagement at 9 months with emotional problems at 3 years [38], (b) engagement at 3 years with attention problems at 5 years [39] and (c) engagement at 5 years with peer problems at 7 years [40].
