Description: Research shows that depriving children of a loving family environment causes lasting damage to their intelligence, emotional wellbeing and even their physical stature.
"The report shows that emotional and cognitive impairments caused by a poor social environment can be substantially improved if living conditions are improved early enough, according to Professor Nathan Fox of the University of Maryland."
"Charles Nelson, a paediatrics specialist at Harvard University, used measurements of brain activity to assess whether a lack of social interaction and attention might harm children's neural development. Using EEG (electroencephaolograms), Dr Nelson looked at the strength of brain activity relative to children who had never been institutionalised. The measurements showed children in the orphanage had less powerful activity in all parts of their brains. In this case, placing the children into foster homes failed to bring about significant improvement."
