Also, the effects of fetal improper development: mental retardation, ADHD, fatality, low intellectual levels etc. More than likely a child with low cognitive levels are prone to school drop outs and engaging negative(violent) behaviors. Besides, early intervention starts with parental control. Parental control is making sure correcting behaviors when they occur, spending quality time with family and implementing positive behaviors.
