Parental Deprivation in Under-5s

The willingness to devote adequate resources to the care of children is the hallmark of a civilized society as well as an investment in its future. With regard to physical development, we have gone quite a long way towards doing so, at least in the western world. However, in relation to emotional and intellectual development only a limited, indeed tentative, start has been made so far. Some argue that we do not yet know enough while others object that child rearing is essentially a personal, private matter. Granted that more needs to be found out about how best to promote children's emotional and intellectual development, enough is known already to take action. If even half of what we now know were accepted with feeling and applied with understanding by all who have the care of children, then the revolution brought about in children's physical health in the past forty years might well be matched by a similar change in their psychological wellbeing. By strengthening their emotional resilience and increasing their capacity for learning, they would be better prepared to adapt to a rapidly changing world.
