Abstract:
Child neglect is a serious and prevalent problem. It is often chronic, and parents accused of child neglect may refuse treatment or may fail to cooperate fully. Described here are some examples of empirically evaluated treatments for child neglect dealing with hygiene, nutrition, home safety, and cleanliness, affective skills training, infant stimulation, and teaching health-related skills. Also discussed is a concern for a need for primary prevention programs.
