Bowlby key insights about the death of a primary caregiver


Problem:

How can I make notes with bullet points in this paragraph?

As emphasized by Fraley and Shaver (2016), one of Bowlby's key insights about the death of a primary caregiver is that " ... seemingly irrational or "immature" reactions to loss, such as disbelief, anger, searching, and sensing the continued presence of a lost attachment figure, are understandable when viewed from an ethological or evolutionary perspective." We have learned much in the ensuing decades about both children's understanding of death (Talwar, Harris, & Schleifer, 2015) as well as the personal implications of parental loss for children. Not surprisingly, the death of a parent is a significant risk factor for children across many important domains of adjustment. For example, children who experience the death of a primary caregiver may suffer withdrawal or in older children depression and are more likely to have academic and behavioral problems at school. However, what seems to matter a lot for children in terms of their adjustment after such a loss is the toll the death of a spouse has on the quality of caregiving the surviving parent is able to provide a grieving child in the wake of the loss. For that reason, researchers such as Irwin Sandler and his colleagues have developed interventions for parental loss that specifically target both parentally-bereaved children and adolescents as well as their remaining caregivers, an approach that appears to be effective (Ayers et al., 2013, 2014).
