Everyday children are exposed to new things. Being children, they are innocent to the dangers all around them. As most parents find out, young children like cell phones and items that adults use daily. Some of the top items children like to play with are: car keys, money, cell phones, or the TV remote. Cell phones are commonly the most requested play thing. Why is this? Children watch our every move and imitate those actions. If you are always using your cell phone to text, check Facebook, Instagram, play games, etc., etc. Then it is easy to say they will want to copy whom they see. Cell phones also have many distinctive features to them such as buttons, lights, and sounds. These features create interest for young children developing new skill sets. Since children try to get the cell phones, most parents let them play with theirs or by a toy cell phone. Toy companies like Fisher-Price, LeapFrog, Vtech have all taken advantage of this trend and have produced numerous diverse types of cell phones. The toys are used to teach children fine motor skills and allow them to use their senses of touch, sight and hearing. Perceptual motor development and cognitive skills are also heightened because the child is using their mind to take in the information from their environment or the device and respond to it with fitting actions. The danger comes into play with the children that are given real cell phones. A cell phone is a two-way microwave radio with intermittent and destabilizing
Did you know that if your child doesn't go to preschool your child is 25 percent more likely to drop out of school, 40 percent more likely to become a teen parent, and 70 percent more likely to be arrested for a violent crime? My aunt did not go to preschool therefore, she had to be held back in kindergarten twice because it was her first time being in a school environment, and so she didn’t know how to act or how to pay attention at the age 5, that’s just insane. She also became a teen parent, causing her to drop out of school at the age 17 so that she had to take care of her baby. All children should be required to go to preschool because it helps with brain development, child behavior development, and it can be cheaper (Five Surprising Facts
“14.2 million children under age 13 met federal requirements for child-care subsidies in 2011-2012. Of that number, 8.6 million were eligible under state policies. Yet only 1.5 million children actually received the subsidies. That means only 10.6 percent of the number of children meeting federal guidelines actually get the subsidy” (Davidson 2017). The question that will be answered throughout this paper is, how accessible is childcare in the United States? Child care is the care of children by a day-care center, babysitter, or other provider while parent/ parents/ or legal guardian is working. The median household income for the United States is $53,8895 (Census Bureau) and the average cost of childcare is between $10,000 and $16,000 (Hamm 2015). This means that childcare can cost families making the median income 30% of their annual income. Given that this is the median household income, half of households have an income that is below this costing them more than 30% of their income. The United States has excellent child care that is affordable for some, however, most low-income families are unable to afford it.
When people hear the words “child poverty” some assume that this term may refer to homeless children who are living on the streets. This isn’t necessarily true, in fact some children who go to bed every night with a roof above their head still suffer from some form poverty. According to National Center for Children in Poverty (NCCP), 21% of children throughout the United States live in families who are considered poor. It is crucial for society to be more aware of this issue and to take part in contributing to help reduce child poverty within our country.
Everyday children under the age of 18 are maltreated. One out of eight children throughout the U.S suffers from either physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. Unfortunately, emotional abuse is not even considered a maltreatment when people think of child abuse. When people think of child abuse the first thing they think about is physical or sexual. Now do not get me wrong, any abuse a child receives is a horrible inhuman like thing because every child is innocent and deserves to live the best life they possibly can live. Although, if we are being quite honest with ourselves nobody really notices this happens until it is mentioned later on when the child gets older. Which I do not blame anyone for because a child does not recall if something is good or bad until they have the ability to be aware of their environment.This is due to the fact that child abuse can start occurring at such an early age. This happens most during the development stage of the child because when a child is young it starts to absorb everything it sees and hears based on their surroundings. Basically, when they start noticing the difference from good or bad. The problem in this situation is that there is a high percentage rate of the youth who are diagnosed with mental disorders and are not being helped properly because most of the time the adults around them do not know how to help. The solution to this problem is simple, we should bring awareness to the main people in the child's life: their
How can a ten year old child be mature enough to own a cell phone then? Children will not know much at all about using a cell phone. First, With constant conversations discussing Instagram, Twitter, Youtube, etc. it could lead to abusing the phone. Once they realize the freedom they have with phone, they will go crazy. Anything they have ever wanted to see is right at their fingertips. “Search” is the only thing away from them seeing whatever they want to. Next, children could talk to people they are not supposed to. Some child could end up receiving phone numbers from people they have never heard of before, but they do not care. Little does the mother know that child’s new best friend is a forty year old man. With little knowledge and lack of maturity, cell phones could lead to kidnapping and possibly
You’ve heard the saying, “children are our future.” Therefore why does the “United States have one of the worst records for child abuse” (childhelp.org). According to the 2015 child maltreatment report,” almost 7.2 million children were involved in some sort of abuse whether mental, emotional, physical or sexual and 75.3% of victims are neglected” (americanspcc.org). You’ve seen the news reports of children being neglected whether it’s a parent who forgets their child was in the car and locks them in on a hot summer day roasting their child’s little life away, or the parent who beats their child to their death, or the parent who is suffering an addiction and doesn’t provide the proper quality of life and care to their child or children that they are taken away by the state only to be dumped into the foster care system. Research states, “that an estimated 1,670 children died in 2015 from abuse or neglect and 207,000 children received foster care services” (americanspcc.org).
* Cell phones create a convenience that was previously unavailable. With cell phones, you can easily reach your kids for any reason: to ask them questions, change plans, or to simply say hello.
United States, “The Land of the Free and Home of the Brave,” is known as the “Land of Opportunity,” but for what? Child abuse? Did you know that about five children die a day from child abuse, or even that over three million reports of child abuse are made each year in the United States?
In the past few years cell phones have become an object of need rather than want. Everywhere you look people are on their cell phone either texting, calling, ‘facebooking,’ or emailing. The cell phone is the smallest most convenient connection that nearly everyone has. The idea, of course, is fantastic.The ability to communicate wire-free from anywhere is perfect. Cell phones have their advantages, like most digital devices. Parents have the luxury of calling up their children to know that they are safe, but, what are the consequences of that cell phone?
“If your child is vaccinated, why are you worried about them catching anything from my child?” (“Why Worry” 1) The answer to this is simple, vaccines are never 100% effective. Even vaccinated children are at risk, not just the unvaccinated. When more people opt out of vaccines they make that risk so much larger. Children should be vaccinated because the unvaccinated children could bring back deadly disease, risk exposing others, including those who are vaccinated, and the potentially fatal complications that could easily be avoided.

I am interested in numerous topics, ranging for politics to the arts. And frankly, that is why I think I am having trouble choosing a major. I am extremely interested in a wide range of topics, and I cannot even imagine having to narrow down to a single topic, and study it for the foreseeable future. However, I have narrowed down the topics that I would be most interested in writing about throughout this course.
Corporal punishment in these days has been becoming a topic in many old timers talks. Many believe that it helps and is definitely the way to go. The older generations still seem to believe that society would be better off if kids still got punished the way they did. They refuse to ignore data that has not supported the clams they bring up about making children better behaved or as they call it “Straightening them up”. Many believe that our liberal democracy population has views that are not valid and that the old ways need to come back to help us grow.
Cell phone exposure to kids can lead to a significant relationship to childhood emotional problems and hyperactivity.
