Many adopted and fostered children experience high levels of shame (http://www.pafca.co.uk/theory-article/the-impact-of-shame/). Shame is a complex emotion that feels desperately uncomfortable for children and usually children will learn to limit behaviours which cause shame. This usually develops within the parent-child interaction.
