The Effects Of Home Life On Children 's Development

But in these days people are spending time in talking on the phone, chatting with their friends, or playing video games. Technology consumes more time than we think; once we get in to it, it going to take at least an hour to get rid of it. Many researchers indicate that American children spend an average of eight hours a day with media, including television, computer, and video games (Source 1). Opponents will say that student can score higher percentile when using computer-based instruction than student who received no computer (Source 2). It is true that student will score higher if they use computer, but the time that they spend with computer still matter. I don’t mean that computer-based instruction is bad but the time they spend on it is the problem. Students should not be allow to use computer more than 2-3

Looking to the past for help understanding the children of today is no longer a useful tool. As technology advances, it begins to play a bigger role in the lives and development of children. Technology’s impact on the families of today is breaking down the core values that held them together. These advances affect the attention span of children, their social skills, and their brain development. In the 21st century, technology has become the focal point of society. More advances have been made in this day and age than any other, and while some of them have changed the world for the better, not every effect has been a positive one.

When kids reach the age where learning begins parents now and days have a concern of whether to home school their kids or send them to a public school. Both are good methods in developing a good education for a child. But also have differences in techniques of teaching and environmental differences. Parents have to think about the cost, the way the child learns being in a social environment, and also be aware of what their child is learning in the street. We will see how home schooling and or public schooling have different effect on a child’s education. The choice of public schooling and or home schooling is a personal serious decision for many parents.

Now, many of us may know a parent that hands their child a tablet or phone to keep their child busy so they can do their own work. Well, this has a very negative consequence on the child because just like alcohol, drugs, and gambling, items such as electronic devices that may seem harmless at first, can actually be very obsessive. These devices are so chronic and habitual that you tend to get isolated from the real world, and since you aren’t managing to do any physical exercise or movement, this could possibly result as a physical handicap. Parents don’t realize this is an issue until their child faces actual circumstances. Technology does not only have negatively influenced physical effects, but it also has a psychological impact. The overuse of electronic devices may cause impairment in the development of a child’s social skills. This includes the ability of to make friends, talking to others in a respectful and polite manner, displaying good behavior, and controlling temper and emotions. A child who uses technology extensively can become socially isolated which can lead to many other things such as loneliness, low self-esteem and low self-worth, anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. In every child’s life, their childhood is the most crucial part of their _________ journey. It's that time of life where whatever a child learns, that learning will continue on and affect their on-going future. The negative things will misguide them from a very young age, and same goes for these children that use technology

Freedom Writers tells a story that mainly happens between a young teacher named Erin and her students of different races. Erin needs to balance the demands of her husband Scott and her students. She takes two extra part-time jobs to support her education career, which is ridiculous for normal people. However, some people think it is worth being a teacher like that. Yet others hold opposite views about what Erin has done for her students. The relationships Erin forms with her students inspire admiration and deep attachment in readers’ hearts. It is obvious that home life and social life affect education.

Does technology really harm teenagers? Many parents say they limit their children for using technology in their daily life, including playing video games. However, Hans’s story told us playing video games can learn something that we cannot learn from books for daily life, or even it would save their life. Although there are some disadvantages for teenagers to use technology in health, learning and networking aspect, it is still worth to let them using it because the benefits can cover drawbacks.

On the other hand, some parents feel that when a child reaches high school, the child would be responsible to do his/her own studies and excel in education. Little do they realize kids are kids and parents need to engage themselves with them even if it meant just by checking on assignments and homework. In this way the child would know that my parent is bothered about me. According to (Zhang & Carrasquillo, 2009), the effects of parent involvement on student outcomes are more important than students’ achievement. For parents not spending quality time with their children often affects the child’s attitude towards the school or towards a particular subject. The classroom behavior of the child changes as he or she becomes more self-concept. The child does not spend much time doing his or her homework as there is no fear. Students’ of such have absenteeism problem as they do not want to go to school or when is school they are not afraid of being truant. Students due to such neglect start to lack motivation and life’s future expectation from them slowly fades

Technology and computer screens consume our society. Many kids these days spend countless hours in front of a T.V. screen, computer screen, smartphone or tablet. Children very rarely spend time outside playing, building play houses or hide and go seek with their friends. Parents spend their time watching the news, reading emails even on the computer doing homework or catching up on the latest drama on Facebook. There is very little family time spent with children asking them how there day was or what they learned in school. This leads to an even bigger issue; No structure in the home. When we choose to spend little to no quality time with our family; a lot goes to waste. Our children have no respect for parents, they grow up with

With new technology and advances in education it is no wonder the use of computers, iPads, and other devices are trickling into the daily life of our younger generations. Perhaps these advances could be doing more harm than providing the enriching education parents and schools think they are. There are now elementary schools where every child has their own iPad and middle schools with Chrome Books the students can take home. Even paper textbooks are being replaced with electronic versions. The use of technology moving forward with education needs to be balanced with critical factors involving a child’s development. Children must be separated from constant attachment to screens to properly learn and develop necessary social skills to become adults who are able to interact and communicate.

The type of home a child is exposed to does not always have a negative effect, which can be seen in Chua-Rubenfeld. She was never able to attend a sleepover, have a playdate, or be in the school play, however, her friends accepted this and supported her (Chua 60). Rubenfeld’s strict home allowed her to be socially successful as she was pushed to be the best she could be, which her friends supported. Many would agree that a student’s home plays a great role in determining their social success beyond

A child’s physical development can vary greatly from its environment; these things would include exposure during pregnancy, the child’s diet, and physical activity. Even during pregnancy the environment around a child has a huge effect on their growth. Exposures during pregnancy is when a mother has been exposed towards drugs, stress, poor nutrition, and other things the mother could be associated with. Many studies have shown that “Maternal smoking has also been linked to miscarriage, premature birth, and low birth weight.” “Children’s Medical Services.” Infant Toddler Development Training. Floridahealth online 2012 Web. 27 January 2016. Teratogens or other exposures such as these during pregnancy can a have a permanent impact this child’s entire life. Another factor that can affect a child’s growth is their nutrition. While a child is growing what they eat influence their: weight, height, and energy. An example would be “If a mother is malnourished it is likely the baby will be born malnourished, or worse, be born prematurely, suffer from low birth weight, or die soon after birth.”

When children have issues at home, these issues affect other aspects of life, such as, education, mental health, and social abilities. Tendencies that are different from social norms, may manifest themselves in a student’s education and grades. Parents recklessly shove children into relationships, forcing them to assimilate. This may be very problematic and detrimental to a child’s mental and emotional health. Often, parents do not admit to needing help with parenting and resolving issues. A common belief is that problems will work themselves out and it is just a matter of adjustment, this is usually false.

As teacher we are geared to help all students regardless of their home environment by helping them succeed to their full potential with guidance and tools. As some parents do not take the time to understand what is needed from home to help the student accomplish in their academics, the teacher should take the position of being the students mentor by checking in on them weekly and allowing them to understand they are here for them whenever they need help. In addition, the teacher should send a monthly progress note of their student performance and tools they can used at home to help their student continue their success. As for the parents, it is understandable to be busy with daily living situation, but their student’s education should be their many focus. For the students who parents are not actively involved, the teacher/school should provide the parents with bi-weekly survey to complete of any concerns and/or question they have for their student. This survey can sent home with the student, via phone and/or email. If the parent fails to complete the survey, the school/teacher should try to contact the parent to complete the survey. If the parent continues to fail to be reach, a home visit to the student’s home should be conducted as it shows the parent, the school is concern and they need to take action on their child

Throughout history a one-parent household has been deemed as a nontraditional family, but in today’s society it seems more and more common with every day. Although the reason and causes vary, each year the number of children raised by a single parent increases. Most people don’t seem to realize how much this can change a child’s future. The impact of childhood experiences simply set the disposition of adulthood and the rest of their lives. There is not one sole factor that affects child development, but one very important one is the role and relationship created with one’s parents. How a child is parented and raised leaves a lasting impression on them, commonly for a
