Lack of attention and love can cause children to have low self-esteem, anxiety, depression and problems bonding with other people!. Babies need plenty of love and support but they also need things to stimulate their minds and prevent boredom!. Scientific studies have shown that young animals in pretty empty, un-stimulating environments don't grow intellectually as much as those with normal environments!. Even better still are the young animals in environments with the most to do, puzzles to play with and colorful lights and sounds to investigate!. Children learn the same way, the more age-appropriate puzzles and toys that excite their minds the faster they grow intellectually!.

Babies and children need plenty of time interacting with one or preferably both parents as well!. Children whose mothers interacted with them the most are usually found to be the happiest and most secure!. So singing, talking and playing with your children is the best thing that you can do, but never forget the importance of an intellectually stimulating environment!. Oh yeah, books are really important as a child gets old enough to understand them, even if the child can't read them yet, just having experience with them is great!. I can actually still remember reading as a child, it seemed like I had more senses than I do now, everything was exciting!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

All manner of delinquency: drinking, smoking, doing drugs, having unprotected sex, or becoming a republican neocon!.

I think you've already mostly answered that for yourself!. Love, healthy attention, the right amount of discipline, and setting a good example!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You see examples of children having little love and attention everywhere!. Turn on the news and there is someone committing a crime that grew up without Dad, or maybe Mom was a crackhead!.

I make sure I talk to my kids, more than my Mom did with me!. I hug them every day, I listen when they talk!.

No one is perfect, and every parent will make a mistake!. Being a good parent is realizing you made a mistake and working to correct it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

well good question, and about that guy that gets best answers, he may have more accounts and grades himself!.!.!.i didnt have time to answer that because i focused on this question!.

its not good to feel they are missing something, yet there is alot more to this question than just saying 'low self esteme' become criminals and stuff!.
for me this helped me most=
i prayed, "Help me Jesus i am sorry for my lies, and sins, come into my heart, and be my best friend, amen!."but alot of kids dont even realize it!.!.!.and the ones that do, are usually just not happy with what they get when some parents dont care about their kids, but the children make the best of it, and get better not bitter!.
it would make the children feel unloved!. and most important only God can really fill that void in our life totally
what helped me most=i prayed, "Help me Jesus i am sorry for my lies, and sins, come into my heart, and be my best friend, amen!."
why not try that!? i guess i got a good mom and dad, it's hard to think what that would do!. well then again my dad is kinda into his own stuff, and they got divorced, but he got custody of us kids finally!.
