Where children live and the way they are brought up by their parents/carers has an effect on whom they are as a person and how they will develop. For instance if parents are rich or poor, live in good or bad housing, if they are capable loving carers or struggle with parenthood and/or their own (mental) health, or if there is abuse or lack of interest in the family unit, all these circumstances will make a difference to a child’s life and their physical and emotional health might be affected by these different scenarios. A child’s family and their home should be their safe haven and if it is not, then it can have a serious affect on them emotionally. Some children might be negatively affected by situations in their live and they might be in need of help but unable to ask for- or obtain it, for instance respite care to help caring for a sick parent. It is very likely that difficult home-circumstances a child struggles with will …show more content…
It might be very difficult for them to build friendships. Events which may impact on behaviour, social and emotional development: • Serious illness or injury to a child e.g. if a child breaks a leg and has to be in hospital for a long stay they become institutionalised and perhaps lose their grip on reality because all they know then is the hospital routine. • Serious illness or injury to a child’s main carer • Death of a close relative • Family break-up: This can cause a child to feel very upset, insecure and abandoned. When their family unit breaks apart their whole world seems to have lost stability and this most likely will have an impact on their behaviour and development • Change of care e.g. entering foster care or residential care • Abuse – physical, emotional, sexual or
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.
After a series of experiments in the California area, evidence has shown that children who are placed in foster care are at a higher risk to be diagnosed with an illness or disorder. The time in which one has underwent a traumatic experience such as, abuse, also has an impact on health. For instance, an older child isn't going to carry the same effects as a toddler who went through that same crisis. People have tried to come up with ways to better the system even if it doesn't make the system perfect.
One major long term effect that can affect them for the rest of their life is poor social relationships. This means that the children
• Encouragement: if children are not given the praise and encouragement they need, this will affect their relationships and friendships as they get older and they will have poor attachment this can develop into anxiety, depression and they will lack motivation. • Learning difficulties are also a factor that influences a child’s development. Children with learning difficulties will need extra support with certain areas of development and may develop low self-esteem because they get annoyed with themselves for not being able to do something, such as a simple numeracy problem or read a book. External factors affecting learning and development are likely to be limited access to services and support, but parents and carers may not be aware of this.
In the grand scheme, “Foster care can refer to many placement settings, including kinship, care, an emergency shelter, a residential treatment center, a group home, or even an independent living situation (with older adolescents), but most frequently foster care involves placing a child with a licensed foster family (two-parent or single-parent family)” (Martin, p. 109). Consequently, there are negative ramification of placing a child in foster care. There is a high level of children that are placed in foster care each year. It is sad to say that all of the children that are placed there never receive permanent placement.
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.
If the child is getting encouraged and praised by their careers as they learn then with can build up their self-esteem and confidence as if they didn’t then this could make the children have insecurities about their own abilities to do things and would have a need of people reassuring them, this could lead up to them having Lack of motivation and having a poor self-esteem about doing new things. When growing up children will look for role models this could be their carer. If their carer had poor social and communications skills then this could have an effect on the child as they would reflect form them and wouldn’t know any difference, so this would affect their development. Children that have limited opportunities to develop their communication skills could have poor behaviour and attention span. It varies for a children’s expectation as if they had past experiences as if they had parents that had poor experiences in the education system then this may think that the child if the same and make them have low expectations on
Children look to their parent’s guidance and development. Parents are the first example and if the family environment is not healthy, the children could be subjected to a lacking strong physical development. “Effective parenting skills are fundamental to child development” (The Chief Public Health Officer 's Report, 2008). Children learn from their environment, if a child’s parent is not in the picture, children will learn from what surrounds them. For example, Genie did not speak because she was never spoken to as a child.
Within the social setting of the child welfare system, a systemic constraint is placed on children preventing them from voicing their concerns. If this happens, children will not be able to experience normal developmental stages, therefore, resulting in not achieving an optimal level of health into adulthood. Researchers and professionals agree that for a young person to come well-adjusted to the struggles, they have faced they must be given support and assistance to meet significant emotional and developmental milestones
A child may feel isolated and not want to open up to others because he/she may not know how the other person may react to it. A child may start to behaviour differently with his/her loved ones as
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
Dissociation can be characterized as interruptions in parts of awareness, personality, memory, physical activities and/or the environment. At the point when a person encounters serious separation side effects, they might be determined to have a dissociative issue. The particular signs and side effects of separation for any given individual differ contingent upon the sort of dissociative issue they encounter. At the point when separation side effects get to be serious, they can disturb day by day life.
This issue affects many people. First and foremost the children placed out of the natural home are impacted. The caregivers (both temporary and long term) are affected because they are in most direct contact with these youth and have the greatest opportunity to instill positive mental and social skills. The public is also affected because children who become adults with mental and or social setbacks can put others at risk or danger. Lastly the government is impacted by these
For example when the family takes care for their kids, they will notice a positive impact such as when the parents choose what their kids open in their devices like something might help them to improve in their school .Therefor, this is positive impact and change for their life. Also the chance of children falling into error might be less such as some children want someone to take care of them and listen to them. The parents should do this, but if they don’t some people might talk with a girl and then will make this girl change in a harmful way, it is understandable why people believe that the parents should take care for their kids because some children at twelve start smoking or some strange people send to them inappropriate content. However, this might effect in the child 's life in a negative way because maybe few of strange people teach them these negative things.
They have low self esteem; they usually don’t trust feelings of others or the people that they are surrounded by. They have poor social skills; they face difficulty in concentrating on things such as education etc. The parents set many rules and closely monitor but offer a very little support.
