This empirical study is based on the hypothesis that creating opportunities for contact
between infants from poor families and the community and society at large may have
positive effects on children’ s development. The research focuses on one child who
participated in a child-rearing salon in a housing complex. We could identify three
positive effects on infants from poor child-rearing families who took part in local activities
continuously. First, the salon provided a special place where the child became connected
with society outside the home. Next, it placed the child on the start line of deficiency-needs,
and finally, it brought a desirable lifestyle and culture in infancy.
