Human Growth and Development / Unit 8   HGD 1079 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Rejected and Neglected Children

Captions available

The idea

Neglected children were once thought to be at risk, but recent research finds them much like average or popular children.

In practice

A quiet child with few nominations doing well in school and content with two friends.

Where people slip

The misconception is that neglected children are the most at risk. Rejected children carry the greater risk; inclusive schools reduce bias-based rejection.
