The Science of Neglect: Serve and Return (Wanling, Clara, Sarisa, Kesha)
-
- A case study on the consequences of severe deprivation or neglect
-
-
-
-
Background information
-
Consequences (adult responses are unreliable, inappropriate, or absent)
Developing brain circuits disrupted, and subsequent learning, behaviour, and health can be impaired
-
- Responsive relationships are expected and essential, their absence is a serious threat to a child's development and well-being
-
Consequences
-
If the lack of responsiveness persists, adverse effects of toxic stress may lead to the lost of opportunities for development.
-
- The reversible steps and interventions to reduce and tackle the negative consequences of deprivation and neglect
Does not guarantee positive outcomes even if they are removed from an insufficient responsive environment
-
Also shows that children need highly supportive care to mitigate the adverse effects and facilitate recovery.
- Chronic neglect receives less attention in policies and practices even though it causes a higher range of damage than active abuse.
Science Behind
young children who experience limited caregiver responsiveness may sustain a variety of detrimental physical and mental health consequences that produce more developmental impairments than physical abuse.
-
Data
Despite these compelling findings, child neglect receives far less public attention than either physical abuse or sexual exploitation and a lower proportion of mental health services.
more than a half million documented cases in the U.S. in 2010 alone, neglect accounts for 78% of all child maltreatment cases nationwide, far more than physical abuse (17%), sexual abuse (9%), and psychological abuse (8%) combined.
