Let's say that a mother leaves her baby in a playpen all day long with no stimulation or attention, and that this has been going on daily until the child was 2 years old. (And has only breast-fed for a week). Assuming that the baby had all his basic needs fulfilled (food, blankets, adequate conditions), but was NEVER socialized, and left in a playpen with a rattle and maybe a stuffed animal. And once the child was 3, was left at a nursery school all day, where they did not provide much stimulation/learning opportunities for the child. How would the child be affected socially & mentally? Other than the obvious effect of boredom and loneliness.
