From the article – ‘broken homes damage brains of infant children’, the main thing which I was able to infer and gage from the text was that if parents neglected their infants from birth and fail to speak and read to them then they will be underdeveloped when they mature. Therefore this will impact the children severely when their brains will be undersized due to disregard and abandonment. This will create long term effects as they will have missed the crucial time period for development and once missed it’s not able to be rectified without extreme expenses. The children could normally grow up to become violent and drug users, due to normally what they witnessed at home when young and was never able to catch up with their education because of carelessness regarding parents. I do agree with what the article is saying as once the infant has missed the time period for development then they will never be able to properly prosper and thrive in life due to a smaller brain size.
