Frequently asked questions
Stopping child neglect begins with creating safe, stable, nurturing environments where caregivers are supported emotionally and financially. Community awareness, early intervention, and access to parenting resources are key to prevention.
Support starts with building trust through consistent care and emotional availability. Providing therapy, safe relationships, and a structured environment helps the child feel secure and begin healing.
Healing involves recognising the neglect, cultivating self-compassion, and seeking therapy or support groups. Rebuilding emotional awareness and forming healthy relationships are essential steps toward recovery.
Neglect can disrupt brain development, especially in areas tied to emotion regulation, memory, and stress response. It may lead to reduced brain volume and altered function in the amygdala, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex.
Neglect-related symptoms often stem from damage to the right parietal lobe, which affects attention and spatial awareness. This can result in hemispatial neglect, where individuals ignore one side of their environment
Neglectful parenting can lead to low self-esteem, poor emotional regulation, and difficulty forming relationships. Children may struggle academically and socially, and are at higher risk for mental health issues later in life.
