Early Neglect and Later Agressive Behavior

Science Daily has an article that summarizes a University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill study that asserts that early neglect may lead to aggressive behavior in children. The study involved 1,300 children and monitored the children from birth to age 8.

A few days ago I mentioned a CNN report that indicated that a signiicant number of young children are abused and neglected. Therefore, the foundation for later agressive behavior starts early indeed.
