...its about the people around them......how they act depends on how they see it from others.....emotionally,it would really affect them...it would lead them to tragedy and misery.......

I totally agree with 'Mama said it wasnt EZ'..... a person's nature develops in their childhood.... children are like sponges, they keep absorbing stuff so parents ought to keep a healthy environment for their child......

Answer 4

it has something to do with the person that is around them..

Answer 5

Well, if you are concentrating on children in orphanages, you can try and help them by maybe collecting some money from your friends to donate to that orphanage. You could organize a class activity where to whole class goes to visit the orphanage and liven things up. I am sure those children will be glad to have someone to talk to and play with. Because they are born in an environment where there are no parents, they need all the love and attention and caring they can get. In a orphanage, it's like one teacher to a whole bunch of kids, so these kids seldom get the parental love which they deserve.

Their living environment can affect them dearly. If your class visits them more often, or some of you make an effort to visit them perhaps once a week, or give them a call, you might be able to help them become less lonely.

Answer 6

I think you'll find that the child development books will say that especially during the early years (say 0-5) an interesting and complex environment stimulates the growth of synapses in the brain that result in better information handling later.  Children raised in jejune environments-- blank walls, no colors, no music, non-interactive-- show learning deficits that remain long after they are grown.
