A Remedy Called Affection

Did you know that malnutrition is sometimes not just caused by poor diet? Lack of affection can also hinder a child's development.

Today, 1% to 5% of Brazilian children suffer from malnutrition.

To try to alleviate the problem, a hospital in São Paulo, Pérola Byington, is teaching mothers of children with malnutrition to sing to their children and even play in circles. The “treatment” is working, that is, a few extra doses of affection don't hurt anyone.
