To be successful, one must live in a good environment and grow up with good parenting skills. The environment and parents have a huge impact on a child's life that leads to a great future but it all depends on what's around them. In the article “The Science of Success” by David Dobbs, talks about genes as dandelions and orchids and the effects from the environment and parenting skills. Dandelion is someone who has genes that are able to adapt on different environments. However, an orchid is someone who has genes that has a hard time accepting changes. They can be fragile, but if treated with proper care they can easily adapt to change. Living in a bad environment and receiving poor parenting, a child can end up being depressed, drug addicts, or in jail. As if one lives in a good environment and parenting skills, a child grows up being creative and successful.
As a setting it is our responsibility to note down all events seen, including the date, time and where it took place. It is also important to monitor this, seeing if the child comes to the nursery like this often, or on particular days. It is our duty to safeguard the child and if we feel that they are being 'neglected' we have the right to report it. However, we could support the mother by having an informal meeting, talking about any issues that she may be having. We can also support the children by creating a safe and welcoming environment, allowing them to feel comfortable to be able to talk to staff if they have any problems. The younger child, however can be supported by ensuring she has clean clothes when she comes into the setting, so that she is not comfortable. We could support all children and mum by monitoring the children's behaviour, learning and development more regularly, making it more efficient to act upon if something begins to slip, such as their development in health and self care. Within this case, it would be crucial to support self care skills by making activities to improve the children's knowledge on, for example the morning routine (getting dressed and brushing teeth for example).
Recent studies have shown that the water in Flint, Michigan has been contaminated by a horrible health impact, lead. This has happened because nearly two years ago, the state of Michigan decided to save money by switching Flint’s water supply from Lake Huron, to the Flint River a notorious tributary that runs through town known to locals for its filth. This has led to many terrible effects shown in both children and adults. The many effects lead has on children and adults are very drastic if not taken care of properly they could have lifetime effects.
Children are young fragile beings brought into the world with hopes to change it. In order to flourish, a child requires the same basic needs that any adult would also require. That is, shelter, safety, security, love/belonging, and health. Unfortunately, due to the horrible incidents of maltreatment, abuse, and or neglect not all children have had access to these basic needs. In fact, a lot of these essential needs are actually taken away from them when children are abused and or neglected by their biological family members or any adult in charge. When an incident such as abuse occurs, child welfare systems are given a huge opportunity to step in and give these children their basic needs back. “The child welfare system is a group of services designed to promote the well-being of children by ensuring safety, achieving permanency, and strengthening families to successfully care for their children.” (National Center for Homeless Education, 2007; Pg.3). The irony in that definition is that most children in welfare systems are not safe and neither do most children attain permanency. Child welfare systems are a dangerous place for young children to enter. It is a place where children will experience constant instability and disruption. Children in child welfare systems will feel as though they have no real home.

Human services professionals play a major part in helping from every angle of child abuse. Everyone from the victim, to the perpetrator, and other members of the family need help. There are many local agencies that is in place to help the struggles of child abuse. “The wide range of activities in which a human service professional might engage within a child and family services agency, there is also a wide range of practice settings where the human service professional might work, the largest being a state’s child protective services (CPS) agency” (Martin, 2014, p.82).
What are socio-economic factors? According to Chase (n.d.) “Socioeconomic factors are the social and economic experiences and realities that help mold one 's personality, attitudes, and lifestyle.” The environment in which we live can shape a child’s growth. For instance, Genie’s story provides a great example of how the environment impacts physical and mental growth in children. “Genie 's case was one of the first to put the critical period theory to the test” (Genie: The Story of the Wild Child, 2015). This essay will analyze Genie’s circumstances and identify the socio-economical factors that impact physical and motor development.
Children faced many challenges through life. These challenges prevent children from adjusting to different situations. A child whose parents are incarcerated will experience adjustment difficulties. Coleman,2013,states“Children of incarcerated parents exhibit higher levels of antisocial behavior, delinquent behavior, mental health problems and cognitive delays. (p.211) Unfortunately, children of incarcerated parents experience challenges until they’re adults. These children live in unstable homes and they experience high levels of anxiety and depressions. Coleman,2013,states“Just over one half of the children were being cared for by a single caregiver dependent on public assistance.”(p.210) Most children are cared by single parents who depend

The reasons for separation normally incorporate injury, frequently drawn out injury, for example, sexual or physical misuse, in youth. The anxiety of war or normal calamities may likewise bring about separation. Dissociation is more normal in kids, which is the reason this specific conduct is regularly created in adolescence. Dissociation is an adapting ability used to isolate the individual from the traumatic event or events and recollections of the traumatic event. Kids discover it especially simple to "venture out of themselves" as their personality is as yet framing. Dissociation might be exacerbated amid times of anxiety, even in adulthood, in the individuals who have taken in this adapting ability.
In the Social Work practice it is common to take children from dangerous and neglectful environments. Children are placed in foster care when a child protective services worker and a court have resolute that it is not safe for the child to continue at home because of a hazard of ill-treatment, including negligence and physical or sexual abuse. The goal of out of home placements is to place these children in stable healthy environments where they are allowed to thrive both mentally and socially.
