The emotional toll of growing up in hostels

Early separation from caregivers can disrupt emotional development, leading to long-term struggles.

Children act like sponges, soaking up their surroundings and adapting to the world. While genetics influence their development, it’s undeniable that their environment shapes their emotional intelligence, social skills, and capacity to navigate life. This is where the concept of attachment—the connection between a child and their caregiver—comes into play. Early attachment patterns teach children how to form relationships, handle stress, and understand emotions.
