Summary: | Current theory holds that if a child does not properly attach itself to a caregiver in the first three years, the implications for later life are profound. This can show up in the form of attachment disorders, overly aggressive behavior, serious learning problems, and delinquency. The film crew followed three children, ages ten months to three years, who are insecurely attached to their primary caregiver. All belong to middle class, low risk, intact families. When the Bough Breaks traces them through three months of Wait, Watch, and Wonder therapy at the Hincks-Dellcrest Centre of Toronto.
