Children who have...It's just all so illogical. Children who haven't gotten a lot of attention will be more needy *because* they have been neglected. When my parents fostered, it was the children who had been neglected who were clingy and would do anything - good or bad - for attention. One doesn't get "used to" being ignored to the point of not needing loving attention! And children who haven't been able to eat enough will often eat everything they can get their hands on "because* they haven't been fed enough! When my brother and his wife brought their almost-2-year-old daughter home from China, they left her alone in the kitchen for a brief moment and when they came back noticed an apple was missing. They searched for the core, but could only find the stem. In that brief moment she had managed to wolf down a whole apple, core and all! She still watches people carefully while they eat in hopes they will give her something, and she is a healthy, well-fed 9-year-old now! That she obviously had to sneak & devour food when she had opportunities for the first 2 years of her life breaks my heart.

The worst part was that it turned into an actual debate, because apparently not everyone thinks that being there for your kids is important.Sean and Yuliyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13695541432889144082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2974979303562253211.post-45033690550318433762014-04-02T12:51:16.362-07:002014-04-02T12:51:16.362-07:00I've heard a lot of stupid comments and questi...I've heard a lot of stupid comments and questions and I try to give people grace knowing they are ignorant, but oh my goodness, that last one made me gasp aloud in shock.
