Professionals draw on various theories from different disciplines to inform their work with children and families. These include biology, psychology, sociology, and theology. An ecological perspective considers a child within their family, community, and broader societal context. However, ecology can be framed by different disciplines like psychology, which some have used to blame poverty and issues on culture being passed down generations. Attachment theory is also important to social care, as secure attachment leads to benefits for children's confidence, social skills, education, and behavior.
