Question

Why do you think the WIC program is important for child development?

Answer 1

its a great helping hand for a child to get a good start, formula, milk, healthy cereal, cheese, fruit juice.

Answer 2

I think its crucial. In countries where children don't get enough food in infancy those kids die or grow up with severe developmental problems and the cycle of poverty is hopeless. So long as the parents can't abuse it or use the benefits for something else its very important.

Answer 3

I think it's great for child development because it helps provide healthy, nutritious foods for babies and children whose families sometimes can not afford these items. I participated in this program at one time and felt it was very beneficial. I'm very fortunate to have gotten the much needed help during that rough period in my life.

I'm happy knowing that there are programs out there to help people in need although I do wish people would not take advantage of them. I hate seeing people in nice, new clothing, wearing expensive jewelery and talking on their cell phones while their kids are standing beside them looking scruffy as they're standing in line waiting for any type of hand-out or government assistance. It's a shame these people abuse the system as they do.

They'll surely be responsible should these resources run out and no longer be available for those in need.
