Child and parent's ability to foster attachment

  Imagine you are working with a single parent of a young child, who works long hours in a precarious job. They discuss that when they get home, they are often too tired to play with their child, something they feel guilty about. Their child, who spends much of their day being babysat by their neighbour, has begun to come across as distant when interacting with their parent. What structural factors might be impacting this child and parent's ability to foster attachment? What strategies could you employ to help illuminate and mitigate the impacts of these structural determinants? How might you use both attachment and strength-based approaches to work with this parent, to connect with their child more effectively and enhance their sense of attachment?
