The two images in front of you are not just simple images of the brain, but two different stories, two different worlds. Both of these children are three years old, as this research was published by Dr. Bruce Perry, a psychologist at the University of Texas. The brain of the child on the left is completely healthy because he/she grew up in an environment where he/she received love, attention, and a sense of security. While the child on the right was emotionally and psychologically neglected, he/she did not get the warmth of parents' lap, love, or a sense of importance. The result is that his/her brain is not only smaller, but there is also a severe lack of brain cells in it. This difference will not only be in the size of the brain but also in their future; it will have an impact on their mental abilities, their psychological health, and their entire life. Childhood is not just a time that passes away, but childhood is the foundation upon which the building of the entire life stands. A loving sentence, the feeling of a lap, a safe environment—all these things develop a child's brain properly and lay the foundation of a healthy human being. Therefore, do not just take care of your children's food and drink, but also take care of their hearts. Give them love, hug them, talk to them, because a child does not grow only by body, but also by heart. The touch of childhood determines the direction of the entire life. A child does not hunger for food alone, but also for love. The child who is deprived of love, His/her brain also takes on the imprint of deprivation.
