This is so important to so many aspects of our society! ~ As I continue to say, "We ALL benefit when ALL children have well developed brains!"

Reminded me of stories of the Romanian orphans from years ago and the power of a hug.

There is is the possibility that poverty may prevent the stimulation needed for children to develop their curiosity which leads to learning. Poverty could be confining in terms of not sufficient nutrients in order to help develop the neural network. Also poverty seems to isolate children from social interactions which is critical for development; audrey@homeschoolsource.co.uk.
