This monologue describes a child's emotional reactions to psychological neglect by the parents. There will be a range of emotional reactions depending on the degree of the neglect.
Roses the video looks better in the original YouTube, so it does loose quality. The last one is Marasmus. If a person who suffered as such actually reached adulthood then they would probably have significant to severe maladjustment and would be a most unhappy person indeed.
Do you like my picture of "Ratus". A good friend of mine drew it and I framed it and it is on the wall of my home. It actually is a friendly looking and happy rat but the quality of the video doesn't really capture that.
But what of the child that doesn't end up dying from the last one (can't see it clearly)?
ReplyDeleteWhat does it look like when they're in their 30's and 40's?

ReplyDeleteOur son's have a friend with that very name. Hmm, art is a very thourough medium isn't it?
Hello Roses,
ReplyDeleteRatus was actually a very loveable rodent who is a puppet on a children's television show that ran for many years here is Australia.
Not sure if he is still on as my kids have kind of grown out of the ratus type of show
