Just a quick post to add to the recent conversation here. I know I’ve been beating this drum a lot lately, but only because these different studies and reports have been popping up and coming to my attention. Here is the latest: Poverty May Impair Growth Of Brain - by Lex Alexander - News & Record - Greensboro, NC
”Poverty can have negative effects on child and adolescent brain development, a report out today concludes.Those effects, in turn, can lead to learning disabilities, behavior problems and other psychological and emotional problems, the report says.”
Yeah, I know, this is not totally new information, but some haven’t gotten this message. Part of this research comes out of Harvard and maybe that will get more people to listen. (?) This is a short piece, so follow the link to learn more.
