hopelessness. The child has lost his lifeline, and often his sense of self.

far more likely to develop infections or die from
starvation. As well as experiencing direct injuries,
children may be affected in many ways. Health and
educational facilities are often destroyed during
armed conflict. The psychological impact of witnessing
armed conflict is increasingly being recognised as a
major problem for children.

ten years within which the State had to fulfil the

12. CONCLUSION
Early childhood development is crucial to how a person
develops later on in life. Reasons for a how a person acts,
behaves, and thinks can be traced back to their childhood
circumstances and environment. Parents also play a very
important role in a child's development. If they are involved
and provide a nurturing and rich environment then they
contribute in a positive way to their child's development,
which will help them later on in life. The human brain is most
impressionable in the first several years of life. This is why
these years are so extremely important and can impact a
person's life even into adulthood. Unhealthy eating habits and
negative social interactions, such as a child being isolated,
can lead to a child not developing in a proper way. A child who
is raised under these circumstances could suffer the
consequences later on in life such as speech impediments or
the inability to socialize in a proper and civilized manner.
