This video is very informative about Day-Care Centers. I think it could cause brain damage. Television could waro kids to it. I would still put my kids inside a Day-Care as a last resort if my family could not do it.

I absolutely believe that neglect creates brain damage in children. Parents are the rulers of a child’s life for a reason; without them, children suffer. Television can be beneficial to children; however, it should not be used as a babysitter. Kids need attention and activities that will stimulate the creative and mental structures in their brains. I hope that one day when I have children, I will be able to either work part time, or stay at home with them. I don’t like the idea of someone other than myself or my future husband raising our children. A good day care is one that invigorates the young minds under its care.

This video is kind of scary. I do think that neglect does cause brain damage. However, I don't think that television completely warps kids' brains either. I would put my kids in daycare but only if they were in good hands. A good daycare in my eyes is a place that does not neglect the mental, physical, and social needs of a growing child.

This video does show the bads behind not putting a child into a daycare center. I think that having a child not enrolled into a pre-school of learning does prevent them from gaining early education. T.V. does warp kids and keeps them from wating learn unless it's learning program. I would put my kids in a daycare if I don't have anyone else to help me with them. My idea of a good daycare is a nice clean environment, toys, learning blocks and alphabets, and a nice teacher.

This video was informative. I do think that neglect can cause brain damage and I do think that television warps kids. I wouldn't put my kids in daycare, because for one, I have a great mother who is willing to watch my children, in the future. I don't want a complete stranger toaking care of my kids.

I think this video will help parents realize what neglect does. I think it does cause brain damage. NO kid should be neglected. It isn't right at all and it affects their brain. Your brain is more vulnerable at an early age so if you neglect a kid it will effect them when they are older.

Children absolutely need good child care. Sitting a kid in front of a tv instead of actually teaching them, does not teaching them anything. I don't think neglect necessarily causes brain damage, but they are not getting the necessary brain stimulation they need. T.v. basically just keeps a child quiet and inactive. If I do put my children in daycare, I will make sure it is the best daycare possible and that they are actually teaching my children something. My idea of a good daycare is one where the kids's brains are stimulated everyday and the adults in charge are actually involved in what the kids do.

All children deserve good child care in their life. Neglect probably does cause brain damage in children. I am not going to sit here and tell you it does or not, cause I am not no doctor. I might put my child in daycare, I really do not know, cause I haven't had to make that decision yet. Everybody has their own opinion of what good child care is but honestly every environment is different.

Day care is important. I don't think neglect causes brain cancer though. T.V. does warp kids. I would put my kid in day care. My idea of day care is good learning and my kid being safe.

I think that neglect does cause brain damage. It is sad but true. It is important for children to get stimulation in the brain so that proper development can occur. My idea of a good day care is one the has a good care taker to child ratio. They should be preparing children for school and learning. It will help them later on in life.

I think neglect could easily cause brain damage. It is very important for kids to have constant interaction with parents, other role models and children. I think too much t.v. is not good, but some shows are educational. I think I would wait until my child got older before I would. At least until they can talk and tell me what is happening. Because if my child is being neglected I will want to know.
