AB Human  infants  are  born  with  the  propensity  to  attach  to  their  parents  and  to  elicit  care  from  them.  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.
