As he became integrated into ours, he changed to reflect the cheeky, unhelpful kids we seem to bring up in our society, so I suspect culture and attitudes are the complete difference in attachment and not.<br /><br />The nature v nurture debate comes in here too and although I do think there is an argument for nurture, it is hard to leave behind some of the family traits that can affect children. <br /><br />Lesleyhttp://scottishmum.comnoreply@blogger.com
