Pamper your child today and it could possibly ruin his tomorrow
Playtime is the most integral part of a child’s developmental stage. Not only does it help in keeping your child busy, but it also helps the child in stimulating his learning skills; for example building blocks not only keep the child amused and out of trouble, but also help in teaching them about different sizes and shapes and gravitation of course! In short, toys become a child’s expression of affection, they help in their development, teach them about sharing, and help arouse their sense of curiosity. But did you know that these same toys that your child plays with and so often puts in his mouth, contain dangerous levels of lead that could adversely affect his brain’s wiring and lead him to a criminal adulthood.
University of Cincinnati has recently brought forth a direct relation between pre-natal and early-childhood exposure of lead in toys and an increased risk of criminal behaviour in the child after the age of 18. “Lead ingested by pregnant woman can pass through the placenta and affect the child inside them,” says Deivyani Dheer, Consultant Psychologist, Apollo Hospital. Pre-natal consumption of lead affects the child’s behaviour while post-natal exposure occurs when toxic lead is passed on through mother’s milk and can cause serious damage.
Exposure to this venomous metal during a child’s early age can make the child violent in nature, cause behaviour and attention problems, learning difficulties and cognitive losses. As the child grows up, “Improper motor skills, a decrease in the volume of gray matter in the ventrolateral pre-frontal cortex, the anterior cingulate cortex, the post-central gyri, the inferior parietal lobule and the cerebellum could occur. All put simply – brain damage,” says Dheer.
