Driscoll And Nagel Summary

166 Words1 Page

In the article by A. Driscoll and N. G. Nagel, they explain how poverty affects children and parents. The authors show that children who live in poverty have a risk level to die before their first birthday. As well they show how it affects children in their education because their level of learning is much lower than others, who do not live in poverty. Parents are focused on their jobs, forgetting their children because the money they earn is not enough to support the family and they have to look for more than one job in order to survive, and nevertheless, having two jobs is not enough to be able to give their children a good education. Therefore, those children develop behaviors that are not appropriate, and consequently acquire a low level

  • Class Differences In Child-Rearing

    437 Words  | 2 Pages

    After reading “Class Differences in Child-Rearing Are on the Rise” by Claire Cain Miller, I realized that there are many aspects that go into socio-economic status. One thing that initially stood out to me within the article is that, “Poorer parents have less time and fewer resources to invest in their children, which can leave children less prepared for school and work, which leads to lower earnings” (Miller). This stood out to me because children have no decision on what family they are born into, and the fact that if they are born into a less privileged family then they are more likely to grow up to be poorer due to the lack of preparation for school and work that they obtained during childhood. Even though there are multiple parenting approaches, most parents want the best for their children, even if they can not give their children the most financial stability.

  • How Does Poverty Affect Children With Disabilities

    296 Words  | 2 Pages

    Children with disabilities and are from low-income families tend to have a harder time in school. For “Children who are poor are more likely to become disabled through poor health care,” suggesting that it being low-income then there is a higher chance of becoming disabled. When children have a disability “Only 10% of all children with disabilities are in school and of this number only half who begin, actually complete their primary education,” (Children and Young People with Disabilities). This is implying that only a small amount of children with disabilities barely even completing primary education. So poverty can lead children to developing a disability which then increases the chances of not being able to get an equal education as the students that don’t have a disability.

  • Essay On Child Neglect

    806 Words  | 4 Pages

    This is very interesting to me because a lot of people equate poverty with neglect and this is not the case, just because you may be poor doesn’t mean that you are a neglectful parent, there are children that live below the poverty level and their parents love them and nurture them and care for them better than a child that lives in a million dollar home. So just because you have money it doesn’t necessarily mean that you are caring for your child, you may not clean or cook or know how to nurture your own child and that is a form of neglect. Now because a family is living in poverty the stress of that may cause neglect, and that is the economic theory of child neglect, so there are some families that live in poverty and are perfectly happy still loving and nurturing their children, and there are some families that can’t handle the poverty that in turn causes stress and in some cases may result in neglect, that is an example of that fine line. There are many

    446 Words  | 2 Pages

    There are around 3.7 million children living in poverty in the UK. Which is more than a quarter of all children. Families with low income tend to have overriding feelings of stress and worry as they try to balance the costs of food, education, healthcare and other basic needs of their family. When these parents try to juggle their finances and pay for basic necessities this can cause problems in relationships between the parents which can lead to inconsistencies within discipline, a lack of love and support, and overall inadequate parenting of the children. For the children, the feelings of unhappiness and stress from their parents may mean that the child may feel isolated and lack attention.

For my internship I work in a low-income school system, I really wanted to dive into what and how this has a role to play in brain and education. The major question that I feel needs to be answered in order to continue this research project is: has been shown to negatively influence child brain development, thus interfering with their success in the academic setting?
