Question

Around the age of ten is when i want to know the effects on. Beyond psychosomatic dwarfism, unless there is some information about that. Mostly I'd like to know about the learning effects or others around school age.

Answer 2

The human condition is so diverse that there is not REAL answer to this question. There would be way too many varibles to accurately predict any outcome. Even twins (same age, same house, some genetic blueprint) can have vastly differernt outcomes to the same environment.

Determining factors include, our genetic heritage, our societies value system, the religion we adhere to, our biological make up, and a myriad of other things.

Whilst the first SEVEN years of our life are the foundation stones on which the rest is built and what happens in our formative years plays a solid part in our outcomes, it is not EVERYTHING by any means.

It also depends on our predispositions, and any trigger events along the way.

That is why each person is assessed as an indiviual on their own story and version of events.

Answer 3

Maslow's Heirarchy will help with this question. An infant neglected often dies, this was found to be true during the old wars when infants were placed in huge rooms alone. If a parent does not bond with the infant this too causes a lack of trust. When I was 10 I was lost and alone with no one to talk to. My mom was mentally ill and gone half of the year in treatment, we never bonded because she was hospitalized 10 days after I was born, if a surrogate can be found the infant has a better chance, my grandmother was that for me.

Answer 4

Consequences of neglect are generally cumulative, and often negatively affect the child's development. For example, poor nutrition has negative consequences on the child's physical and psychological development. If proper nutrients are not available at critical growth periods, the child's development will not follow the normal and usual pattern. Common physical and psychological reactions to neglect include stunted growth, chronic medical problems, inadequate bone and muscle growth, and lack of neurological development that negatively affects normal brain functioning and information processing. Processing problems may often make it difficult for children to understand directions, may negatively impact the child's ability to understand social relationships, or may make completion of some academic tasks impossible without assistance or intervention from others. Lack of adequate medical care may result in long-term health problems or impairments such as hearing loss from untreated ear infections.

Long-term mental health effects of neglect are inconsistent. Effects of neglect can range from chronic depression to difficulty with relationships; however, not all adults neglected as children will suffer from these results. Some individuals are more resilient than others and are able to move beyond the emotional neglect they may have experienced. Characteristics of resilient individuals include an optimistic or hopeful outlook on life, and feeling challenged rather than defeated by problems.
