Nature vs. Nurture

After watching a couple videos of feral children it made me think about how lucky we really have it. We might complain that we don't have the nicest things or we want things other people have we should just be thankful that we have anything at all.
One of the videos we saw a girl was locked in a room until she was about 8 years old. She was in a high chair for most of her life so she became nearsighted only seeing as far as the room would go. The girl was unable to chew or so any simple basic tasks that comes natural to us. She wasn't able to walk properly or communicate with people; she was also afraid to make any sounds because she was beaten previously for making noises.
This is just one example to show how nurture is very important to a child and creating that bond with the parents. They need someone to take care of them and really make them feel that they are wanted.
