Contrary to a common assumption, neglect is not less damaging than abuse. Research shows neglect victims have lifelong problems because they miss developmental milestones around language, self-control, and bonding with others. A constant dilemma in neglect cases is whether to traumatize children by removing them from their families, or leave them in situations where their brains aren’t developing normally. Quality Early Childhood Education (ECE) programs can make it possible to leave children at home while helping their parents improve parenting skills. ECE can help many children avoid foster care and still obtain the baseline skills they need to thrive.
