Poverty And Its Effects On Children 's Development

Poverty is everywhere in this world especially in education. Poverty in education could come from the location of the school, the child’s home life, how the students feel about school and in many other ways. Poverty comes in all shapes and forms, “An appalling number of American Children live in poverty. According to the National Center for Children in Poverty, 14.7 million, or nearly 20 percent of children under age 18, live below the poverty line” (When Poverty…). The kids/students bring those debilitating effect with them to school every day.

The topic is poverty. Por very is affecting child development and educational outcomes. It is a problem because children are. Suffering mental and behavior consequences.children are affected because they are likely to commit crime because of the way they are living. Also, they suffer from mental and physical problems and that is experience hunger. They can experience the lack of education.

Poverty has a great impact on children school lives because they usually face with the overwhelming challenge in their families that is a factor impact on children’s school behaviors and performance. Girls will tend to abuse, while boys may damage in other aspects such as curiosity, learning, and memory. When I read the chapter two of the book, Teaching with Poverty in Mind written by Eric Jensen, I completely agree with him that “A child who comes from a stressful home environment tends to channel that stress into disruptive behavior at school and be less able to develop a healthy social and academic life” (Jensen, 2009, n.p.). In this book, he reported, low-income children “are linked to over 50 percent of all

One out of seven people or 900 million people live in extreme poverty which many of whom are children. According to Antonio Franco Garcia, a social policy officer in UNICEF, 47 percent of the 900 million people living in extreme poverty are 18-years-old or younger, and to end poverty in the future, people need to focus on the kids. This problem needs more attention because it is not fair for the children born in poverty to be unable to receive the quality education for future success. Poverty has been around for a long time and needs to end. It would cause more fairness for everyone and better economy for many countries. In the connection between children and poverty, children around the world are negatively affected by poverty in their education through cognitive readiness, academic skills, and less opportunities starting at a young age.

Poverty causes most stress within households and has an impact on the healthy development of a child.

In the book, “Teaching with Poverty in Mind: What Being Poor Does to Kids’ Brains and What Schools Can Do About It,” the author, Eric Jensen, states, “The one that says that children of poverty will necessarily do poorly in school–should not be automatic. Although it has statistical support, it does not have to be true,” (112). Jensen’s book relates closely to the class, Early Childhood Development, and events in 2017.

Poverty is considered one of the highest dangers facing children in the modern world. The National Center for Children in Poverty states that there are more than 16 million children in the United States that live below the federal poverty line and that poverty can affect children’s ability to learn and affects their social, emotional, and behavior (National Center for Children in Poverty, para. 1 and 2). There are numerous signs and indicators that educators can look for that will point out children that are affected by poverty. According to students of poverty.com, these are some of the sign and symptoms of poverty: Academic and behavioral problems, teachers unable to reach student’s parent or guardian, student do not complete work assignments

Children living in poverty suffer significantly in education. Having a negative education has long lasting impact on a kid’s life. A poor education affects many other areas in a child’s life. Schools in underfunded communities are under resourced which creates a struggle to meet the learning needs of the children’s full potential. A study showed that in 2008 the dropout rate of students living in low income families was four and a half times greater than the rate of dropouts from higher income families. This limited education makes it much more onerous for poverty-stricken children to elevate themselves out of poverty especially when a large quantity of them are dropping out.

Poverty affects a broad diversity of people from different ages, cultures or diversities. While the overall poverty rate in the US in 2009 was 14.3%, it seemed to be higher among female-headed households (29.9%), African Americans (25.8%), Hispanics (25.3%), children (20.7%) and those living in central cities (18.7%), (Komro, 2011). Living in poverty poses a great risk already, but also living in an area of concentrated poverty makes it difficult to grow and thrive. Typically, schools with great proportions of low-income families have low education achievements. With that factor alone comes great risk for oppression and other risk factors. With the given circumstances, children are at risk of poverty

Poverty can be classified as one of the major threat to the wellbeing of families and it often affect child’s personal, social development and causes inequalities in their educational attainment (Scottish Govt. 2010). Bradley and Corwyn (2002) highlights that poverty is one the major factors that affect child development, which often impact on the psychosocial and the physical health of a child as well as their cognitive outcomes. In view of ecological theory, human beings are linked to relate within the surroundings they live in. This essay will discuss briefly the systems in Bronfenbrenner’s ecological theory of human development. It will explore poverty and how ecological theory underpinned the significant influence of poverty on social class, parental capacity and on child development.

Poverty is a struggle faced by families based on one’s socioeconomic status, educational attainment, and income. Different races and ethnic groups tend to face different levels of poverty. As of today, more children are living in poverty and facing the hardships of poverty. Developmental Psychologist and researchers have investigated children who live in poverty and recorded the changes that poverty made on a child’s development and how it affected their academic achievement.

In conclusion, child poverty is a universal dilemma that can range from minor poverty to extreme levels that threaten the lives of billions of children worldwide. There are possible actions that can be taken by governments to alleviate the harsh condition these children live in and possibly even show the ever growing problem of child poverty all together. Due to these large differences in upbringings, lower/working-class children have countless setbacks that prevent them from developing at the same pace as their upper/middle-class counterparts that are able to develop to full capacity with the aid of programs and schools that aware for a child to expand their social skills with not only other children, but their parents as well. Developing

Poverty doesn’t have preferences, it doesn’t choose people by race, religion, or age. Many people don’t see the effects poverty has on people or sometimes they don’t care but you should. What if you were put in the situation where you lost everything and weren’t able to recover. Now imagine this is your child. Many people put a generic face upon poverty. Usually they see the poor African American person, or the old man who looks dirty, or even the woman who is selling her body just to buy a bite to eat. Children are often not thought of when it comes to poverty and they are the ones who get hurt the most by it. Poverty negatively effects a child in so many ways such as development, psychological, and educationally. If we look further in to causes of how negatively poverty affects a child maybe, we can lessen the blow and help children out of it so they can live a better future.

Poverty has an extensive effect on school age children’s socioemotional development. California Department of Education (2005) states that socioemotional development includes the child’s experience, expression, and management of emotions and ability to establish positive and rewarding relationships with others. A study conducted by The National Center for Children in Poverty (2009) proclaim that between 9.5 and 14.2 percent of children between 0-5 years of age experience social-emotional problems that negatively impact their functioning, development and school readiness. Yet, poverty and income loss may directly affect boys more than girls (Bolder et al., 1995; Patterson et al., 1990). Nonetheless, there is an alarming rate of children’s socioemotional development being affected by poverty.
