Extremes of caregiving deficiencies—such as social and/or instrumental neglect, institutional rearing, or frequent changes in foster parents—increase the risk for a number of conditions such as reactive attachment disorder, disinhibited attachment disorder, rumination disorder of infancy, nonorganic failure to thrive, and psychosocial dwarfism. These conditions appear in infancy or early childhood and often are associated with cognitive, language, and social delays or deviancies and later functional impairment. Sleep problems usually appear in the first 2 years of life. Pica and elimination disorders are usually first diagnosed between 2 and 5 years of age.
