Family Transition

Another reason is teen pregnancy, when a single teen parent struggles between school or a job taking care of a child makes it harder. So instead of abandoning the child they choose to give the child a loving home to parents who can take care of them. Adoption can also help the birth mother by giving her a chance to receive an education or achieve other goals. There are also cases where the mother or parents per say don’t feel like they are ready or capable of taking care of the child. Children are a lot of work but do they deserve to be abandoned?

Foster kids are more likely to experience health problems and often do not receive normal physical examinations. Families should accept foster kids and treat them as though they are their own. Foster families should be good influences on foster children. Foster care associations always want foster kids to find permanent homes. The goal for a foster kid is most often to reunite with the birthfamily, but can change to adoption if it is in the child’s best interest (www.adopt.org).

Additionally, after witnessing a sibling being torn away from the home and then knowing that their parents might try to unwind a child again, the child might also experience fear, for his or her own life could be at stake in the future, which would only further tension in the family. Not to mention, the survivor’s guilt that could plague an individual who survived to eighteen though another sibling was not allowed to live to that age. On the other hand, the children are not the only ones disturbed by this occurrence. Even with making the decision themselves, parents may face internal conflict after the fact. A parent could regret the decision, and unwinding is something that could never be undone.

EYPs work in partnership with families and professionals in order to safeguard the child and maintain their health and safety at all times. It is important for EYPs to develop professional relationships with parents/carers while the child is in their care; EYPs must organise times to communicate with the parents/carers about the child’s development or any concerns they may have. It can sometimes be difficult for EYPs to communicate with the child’s main primary caregiver as there may be barriers such as: work timings, language barriers and busy times at nursery. It is important that EYPs try to overcome these barriers in order to meet the needs of the child and maintain their safety and well-being. In a child’s early years it is important that the early years setting mirrors the child’s home and home routine in order to make the child feel comfortable and safe.

They also learn to carry out individual and group roles. Teachers take up a very important role in the child’s life as they teach the child specific skills. During this stage, the child’s peer group will have greater significance and becomes a great source of the child’s self esteem. The child feels that he/ she needs to win her peers approval by showing them certain skills or competences and begin to develop a sense of pride in their competences. When we encourage them for their initiative, the children begin to feel industrious and therefore feel confident in their ability to achieve their goals but if the child’s initiative is not encouraged, or if the parents or the teacher restrict it, the child begins to feel inferior and doubts his own abilities and may therefore not reach their potential.

Parents have the obligation to provide financial, emotional, medical, and educational support to their children, and this is only normal. However, it is also sad to think that there are some parents who do not do this, and this usually happens in single parent situations. This is a situation where child support services can help and this should be strictly enforced. Usually, the government has this duty of enforcement, and there are procedures to follow when one of the parents will seek these services for their child or children. The well being of the children is what this is about and this can also help promote parental involvement in a positive manner.

Social worker can also intervene where an individual need support ranging from: caring for family members, conflicts, drug and alcohol problems, or disabilities. For example a social worker may have to intervene when there is a situation whereby a vulnerable adults or a child need safeguarding,whether from abuse, neglect, exploitation or harm, or where a child may be at risk to themselves or others. Equally if the parent or carer are unable to care for the child whether because of family breakdown or mental distress where their action could significantly impairment, the child may possibly need removing from the home. However Social workers work holistically daily with children and families in complex social issues to improve people lives, development and security and inclusion. Social also work within code and practice to ensure that their behaviour does not harm themselves or other taking a non-judgemental approach to make positive changes to improve lives of all

This allows for parents to protect their child’s right to an education and to make sure procedures are being properly executed. These procedural safeguards are so important because they ensure every person within the special education process is being treated fairly and with positive intentions. They enable parents to feel empowered and to play a vital role within protecting their child’s rights and making sure their child is receiving the best supports and services. Without these safeguards, parent’s opinions on what their child needs and deserves could be
