Alcohol Affects The Child Before Birth

Alcohol Affects The Child Before Birth.
Children who are exposed to fire-water before they are born are more odds-on to have problems with their social skills, according to new research in Dec, 2013. Having a or formal who drank during pregnancy was also linked to significant emotional and behavioral issues, the study found. However, these kids weren't certainly less intelligent than others. The researchers, Justin Quattlebaum and Mary O'Connor of the University of California, Los Angeles, demand their findings point to an urgent insufficiency for the early detection and treatment of social problems in kids resulting from exposure to alcohol in the womb.

Early intervention could enhance the benefits since children's developing brains have the most "plasticity" - ability to swop and adapt - as they learn, the study authors pointed out. The study, published online and in a new print edition of Child Neuropsychology, involved 125 children between 6 and 12 years old. Of these kids, 97 met the criteria for a fetal liquor spectrum disorder.
