Addictions – this could mean that a child or young person may live and grow up in a household where the parents or carers may be into drugs and alcohol abuse, not only will this cause financial problems for the family as people that are addicts usually put their addiction before other needs which means they will normally neglect the child and their needs.

Communicating with children and young people has a huge impact on their developing skills so if a child is not being communicated with or has bad communication with their parents such as - shouting, swearing, ignoring, being aggressive, being nasty or mean this can cause the child to have a low self-esteem, not feel valued or loved and also developing poor social, emotional and communication
After reading Scott Russell Sanders', "Under the Influence", it got me thinking, if these were examples from his past life growing up with an alcoholic as a father and how it effects his life now, what are the effects does it have on other adults who grew up with an addictive parent? After reading one article I found that most children who grew up in alcoholic homes reported significantly less utilization of interpersonal resources as a child, also had reported more emotional and psychological problems in adulthood and had significantly more family disruptions characterized by higher divorce rate, premature prenatal and sibling death. Some of the children had experianced more physical and sexual abuse and more frequently become alcoholics or

Directly correlating with Jesse’s life and the stress put onto him by his family. More apparent are the effects of being separated from his mother, in particular, when his jealousy and anger are showcased when his mother introduces him to her new family. Feeling particularly hateful towards Daniel as the youngest in the family after being introduced. This is derived from the expectation of being the youngest in the family, and in turn, being rewarded and treated favourably to others.
Miscommunication is the action of not discussing something well with another person, and it can strain the relationship between parents and their children if they never learn how to communicate properly. In Debra Kent’s, “Stop Fighting With Your Teen”, Joanne Stern Ph.D. emphasizes, “Conflict is part of life, and our kids need to know how to handle it with their friends, employers, and partners, and their own kids someday," (Stern).Everyone makes mistakes, and no one is going to do everything perfectly every time. It is important that parents teach their children that. However, if parents have a relationship with their child that is strictly only speaking when need be, then the child will have no mentor to lead them through the difficult situations of growing up. Miscommunication when situations happen within the household affects both the parent
In numerous instances, today’s world values addictions over family. Every day, the news highlights stories where addiction overpowers. For instance, a few weeks ago, Columbus, had a couple who overdosed on heroin with their grandchild in the backseat. Hence why “Under The Influence” by Scott Russell Sanders is extremely relevant. Sanders asserted his experience with his dad, who was an alcoholic.
Throughout the course of their lives, humans form many important relationships, with people, institutions, and society. It is these relationships that impact a person’s life and they way they grow up. In J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye, Holden Caulfield, struggling with the death of his brother and his recent expulsion from school, wanders New York City for several days. As Holden meets a variety of different people, including an old friend, a prostitute and his sister, he struggles with accepting the fact that he needs to grow up, and consequently destroys his relationships with almost everyone he meets.
What a child sees can affect them in many ways. Exposure to interparental violence has been associated with the tendencies to worry in children. Consequently, children's anxiety is also affected by interparental violence and conflict. Additionally, interparental violence has been, linked to both internalizing and externalizing problems(Kelley 1025). Internalizing problems are negative behaviors and low self-esteem.
Each time something unfortunate occurs, things go from bad to worse when this sadness or hopelessness prompt the parents to spend more money on their habits (addictions), making conditions significantly worse for their children
Parents. What are they for? They help you choose the right path as well as help you whenever needed in life. They work as hard as hard as possible to lead you, but sometimes they may need time for themselves. Maybe a break or some time to follow their interests.
Explain the importance to children’s holistic development of Speech, language and communication This development is important for children’s holistic development as this will help the children to socialise and help them express what they like and need, this will get them to have more sense about the world. If the child can communicate this will help them with their confident and self-esteem levels as they can talk about how they feel.it is important for children to use their own language skills and not to listen to other all the time and this could put their development back. Adults should praise children a lot so they have the encouragement try new things but it is important you adults to give them feedback so that they can learn from right and wrong.
In the short story Peter and Wendy were very upset because they did not want the nursery to be shut off. Peter threatens, ‘“I don’t think you’d better consider it anymore, Father”’ (Bradbury 7). As Peter and George Hadley were talking about the possibility of the family shutting the nursery off for a few days, Peter responded to this in a very threatening way which would concern many parents. If one does not communicate with their parents enough, then the child may believe they are in charge of the family rather than the parent.
Understandably, the ecological perspective is appropriate to analyze family violence because it highlights an important influence that relates to the development of family violence at many levels. Firstly according to the microsystem, the understanding of family violence would be viewed as influenced by the interaction that the abuser has with other group members of the family or the whole family system in general. Members of a family share the same microsystem however, their personality traits and temperaments are different, meaning their experiences in the same system can be different ("What is Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory?", 2013). For example, a stressed parent can take out their anger on one child and not the other, making their experiences within that particular family system different. A stressed parent might inflict physical abuse or neglect their child simply because he/she is stressed from what is going on in the family dynamic.
This would lead the child to think that it is fine to fight with others because their parents do
For instance, when a child is raised in poverty and their emotional state is pressured in such a way that it damages their ability to cope with everyday things, it 's not uncommon that they turn to illegal substances and alcohol to help them with such things as depression and anxiety. So many children in poverty nowadays resort to the use of drugs and alcohol rather than facing the issue head-on without the presence of such substances, that it has become apparent to many rehab facilities and support groups such as an online group monitored by Ned Wicker. According to his passage, Poverty and Addiction, Do They Go Together? " Poverty may not have been their choice, but how they respond to the situation is rather telling… They can either press on or look for something to numb the pain" (Wicker).
Research over the past few decades has highlighted the importance of social and emotional competence in preschool children on later academic, social, and psychological outcomes. Children who are socially and emotionally competent have increased socialization opportunities with peers, develop more friends, have better relationships with their parents and teachers, and enjoy more academic and social successes. Children who lack social and emotional competence are at risk for reduced socialization opportunities, rejection, withdrawal, behavioral disturbance, and achievement problems. Intervention programs that target social emotional development in preschool are ideally situated to bolster these skills before the problems exacerbate. Research
Such as little kids, parents love them when they obey and listen well to their words. The parents praises them and treat them with care, but once that kid acts all whining and starting to act against their parents word, the parents sometime, get angry at them and the kid
