whats an example of a possible negative effect for a child that has
been ignored?example a child who is ignored due to lack of attention at
home.
In our fast paced
society, more and more parents are admitting that they simply do not have enough time to
spend with their children. A child needs that one-on-one, undivided attention from its
parents. Frequently ignoring a child could have a serious negative impact on several
aspects of that child's development. One area that could suffer is the child's self
esteem. The child might grow up feeling forgotten and unimportant. Some children will
shrink under this type of stress. They become detached and withdrawn. Others seem to
explode outward. They seek the attention they are missing from others. Sometimes this
attention seeking behavior takes very negative forms. For instance, a child might start
acting out in school to receive attention from teachers. This type of child will find
even negative attention appealing. Other children might grow into adults who seek
inappropriate relationships to fill the void of missed attention in childhood. Children
who are ignored will typically have low self esteems and have difficulty building
healthy relationships.
