L. Rowton My Early Childhood Education Autobiography I definitely agree that the degree of exposure that a child has to education while growing up has a huge impact on views one has later in life regarding early childhood education. For example, people such as parents, older siblings, teachers, babysitters, daycare providers, etc. can all provide different learning experiences for the child. Being around other children can also provide extremely valuable experiences for a child, as far as learning goes, and influencing social behavior as well. A child who does not have positive experiences with their early childhood education may suffer both academically and socially later on in life, lacking the proper groundwork toward a good, solid education, I believe it it extremely important to instill a positive outlook in a child regarding education and learning in general.
2. Give a simple example for each of the following: a. How a background factor may impact on behavioural development. (LO 2.1a) One of the most important background factors in a child behavioural development is the family example because the parents are the models for their children. Parents who don’t have active social life can affect the child behaviour in relation with others, in ability to make new friends, to cooperate and share.
Family background can effect a child's development by the family's values the culture and the way the child is encouraged and cared for all can effect the child development. The child environment can effect the development of the child e.g. Housing condition , opportunities for play and educational. Poverty and deprivation can affect the child's development because Lack of money can lead to poor nutrition and lack of opportunity and also lower expectations. Children and young people in the care system are more vulnerable,often due to the lack of stability and attachment disorder this can affect their emotional ,social and academic development.
They tend to break up repeatedly with the same person, often get emotional and angry. We learn to trust and rely on others as an infant and that influences our relationship as adults. If parents of children this and traded children accordingly we may have adults who grow up to have healthy happy relationships. A child's early caregiver experiences are crucial in setting the stage for that child's ability to maintain intimate relationships in adulthood. A child needs consistent, nurturing caregiving in order to develop a secure base, in which the child feels that it is safe and protected in the world.
Also evolutional (inherited from parents) could have an effect on how a child behaves as in the child’s genetics it might be that they are susceptible to violence this means that the child may have more violent tendencies. Also if a child grows up in a hostile environment they may believe that it is normal and it will sculpt their behaviour aggressively in day to day activities. The theorist which links with this psychology aspect is Abraham Maslow. His theory is based on a hierarchy of basic human needs in which they need to have in order to function in society. Maslow says that once you have achieved each level of needs you then get to self-actualisation, this is when you try to fit in with peers, thus changing your behaviour so it is alike theirs.
If at any point they failed, they would see this as a big mistake and give up and have a lack of motivation. It can also be argued that working class children do not get the support of their parents, this is because many of the parents believe that they survived without an education, so believe that there children can do the same. Working class families can also lack in support in terms of if the child fails a particular exam, they would not give them positive feed back on how they could improve they would improve. Whereas, it can be argued that higher class families have more motivation and the parents also give the support to the children that is needed. This would have a positive influence on the child’s education as it would give them hope and not give them an opportunity of giving up.
CYP3.7 Understand how to support positive outcomes for children and young people. Task 1 Understand how the social, economic and cultural environment can impact on the outcomes and life chances of children and young people Social, economic and cultural factors The are many different issues in our society that will affect different lives of many young people that practitioners that work with young children that have parents that are unemployed and find it difficult to find money to buy clothes for their children or to pay for bills. Some children can suffer from a condition that affects their health or have a cultural background that excludes them from certain activities in many settings. Part of a practitioners role is to be aware of the issues that can have a positive or negative influence on children's lives. You should always ensure that this is understanding is at the centre of the work and then you will be following the child.
Task 1 Understand how the social, economic and cultural environment can impact on the outcomes and life chances of children and young people. 1.1 Describe the social, economic and cultural factors that will impact on the lives of children and young people. Social Factors. * Housing & Community Where a child or young person may live can have an impact on their lives. If they live in poverty they may not have the opportunity to socialise with other children so they may find it hard to interact with other children.
Examine children’s experiences of family life and why the family is important to them The following essay will examine children’s experiences of family life. I will show my understanding of when childhood began and elaborate on the Aries thesis to examine views of childhood. The sociology of childhood offers a theoretical perspective that interprets children’s experiences of the family and school. I will identify the reasons why family is important to children, furthermore showing how intuitions and social practices influence and shape childhood. The pinnacle point of this essay will be to explore children’s experiences of family life and show what it is like for different types of families such as lone parents and step families.
This is how life story work can enable them to come to terms with the past and discover who they are. The past experiences of service users in children’s social care can be traumatic ones. When service users are removed from their birth families at a young age, this can mean them leaving their attachment figure or not even being able to create one. Children start to create a bond with their attachment figures at very young ages, usually around 6-12 months old. If a child, like in the case of Jordan, (K101, DVD, Unit 5, video 5.1) is removed from this attachment figure at a young age, it can have a big effect on their development (K101, Unit 5, p31); this is because children use their attachment figure to learn about their selves, relationships and also as a secure base for exploring to develop physical and social interaction skills.
