The main contribution of this study rests in its theoretical contribution. As mentioned in chapter two of this study, students require a safe base while navigating the challenges and opportunities presented to them as they grow and develop. This safe base is best provided at home by parents providing warmth in addition to stability in schools. However, with unpredictable changes occurring in life, students ‘safe havens’ are constantly shaken leaving students wallowing in confusion. The outbreak of the COVID19 for example has left most students in the international schools wondering for their safety in foreign countries. Hearing how some of the alumni students got stuck alone in their host institutions while the locals left for their homes not only formed as a wakeup call to students but to parents as well. International institutions should aim at coming up with comprehensive online programs to cater for students at the comfort of their homes. This will ensure stable attachments among students which have been found to buffer students from current and future disruptive behaviors.
