The damaging effects that Justin suffered due to emotional neglect were certainly extreme. You provided insightful information on the ways this type of neglect affected Justin’s well being physically, emotionally, psychologically, and socially. It is astounding just how important physical stimulation is for a child and the damaging effects that are possible when it is not provided. Certainly, physical contact with a child is necessary for healthy growth, but I was unaware of the severe and negative effects when they are deprived of it. Justin’s case was quite sad. The emotional neglect took such a physical toll on his little body. The little boy’s lack of physical growth was indeed related to Arthur’s inability to provide any emotional support …show more content…
Perry had not taken the time to inquire about Justin’s family history, it may have never been revealed just how devastating Justin’s living conditions were in respect to his psychological well-being. This kind of concern should certainly be a constructive policy change when evaluating children in hospitals. I also do not feel that Arthur is completely to blame. He reached out to Child Protective Services and they failed to protect Justin. Arthur had no idea of what he was doing. He knew how to care for dogs, but unfortunately not a child. He raised Justin the best way he knew how. He was described as a loner and as possibly having mental issues himself. CPS should have checked in to see how Arthur and Justin were doing. There should have been more support and resources made available to Arthur. Even though Justin is able to communicate and recognize his emotions, I wonder if he will ever truly understand the traumatic way he was raised and how severely it impacted his well-being. Thanks for sharing. …show more content…
(THERAPEUTIC APPROACHES) Your post provided some perceptive material. I especially appreciated your suggestions of the different types of therapies, and how they can benefit both Justin and Connor. A friend of mine is a nurse at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). They incorporate many types of therapeutic activities when working with children. Music intervention is used to help children who are in crisis to better express complicated feelings and emotions. It helps to reduce their feelings of stress and anxiety. I liked your suggestion of dancing and how it could have significant effects for Connor and Justin. For Justin, dance therapy could have had significant benefits on strengthening his gross motor skills. Also, being a teacher, I agree that schools should have programs to help younger children who have experienced trauma. There probably is not a school out there that does not have a student who has suffered some sort of traumatic events. As we have read, there is a multitude of negative impacts of trauma on a child’s behavior and learning ability. The unfortunate part is that teachers are not trained to help meet the needs of children who have experienced trauma. What is worse, we spend hours each day with these children. Without this type of awareness, we could be inflicting secondary traumatic stress without even knowing we are doing so. Thanks for sharing.
