Economic: Health Status- if a child has a condition, their education and home life can be affected as they may not be able to attend school as much as other children. If the parent has a condition the child may be the carer. Poverty- A family on a low income may not be able to provide for their child as well as others. Accommodation and level of housing may be low which can affect their physical health. They may be less likely to achieve as well at school due to lack of space at home to complete homework.
Their parents may not have the skills for bringing up children, or the child feels the demands for achievement and success are unrealistic. Children with obsessive- compulsive disorders are growing in number. In relation to other mental health issues, relatively little is known about this type of disorder. However, early recognition and the ensuing treatment will help to reduce the suffering they cause. Phobias often come under the heading of childhood anxiety disorders but they are now becoming so common that they may be dealt with as a separate issue.
And some young people and children may be abused or exploited so, they need to look after away from their families. The reasons are as follows: 1) Bereavement: most look after children will have experienced so many disruptions in their lives. This may include painful experiences such as family bereavement. As a result the children’s education may become affected and they may be below their expected class average. This will have caused from poor concentration, the child may also need specific help in their work and class before any sort of progress can be made.
Starting a new school – This could make the child or young person feel nervous because they have to make new friends and could make the child feel anxious because they don’t know what will happen. This could also make the child become shy or dismissive or even anxious. Identify transitions that only some children and young people may experience. Transitions experienced by only some children and young people include: Diagnosis of a disability – This could make the child or young person feel jealousy because he/she may feel different, this could also make the child act unusual such as being dismissive. Divorce – This could make the child or young person feel frustrated, confused because the child or young person may not be seeing one parent as much as before, this could also make the child act unusual such as becoming withdrawn and being argumentative with parents.
092 Support young people to move towards independence and manage their lives 1.1 Explain the reasons why some young people may find it difficult to move to independence. Some young people may struggle to move to independence due to a multitude of different factors. A young person with attachment difficulties and a history of abusive or troubled relationships may not be equipped with the emotional resilience and external support to face independence without some level of difficulty. It is imperative for young people to feel supported and encouraged and an absence of this may cause a young person to revert to child like behaviours to achieve these basic needs. If a young person has physical of learning disabilities this would also effect their ability to move towards independence as they may require a more intensive amount of support from a care giver for a longer period of time than a young person without any disabilities.
The outcome of this factor is that there are people which may not be able to relate to the child or young person’s families views. If a child is from a travelling family there is a possibility that their development at school may be delayed due to being transferred from school to school. Poverty A family living on a low income might not be able to provide for their children as hoped. Accommodation may be poor which can have an effect on the mental and physical health of children and their parents. Housing and community Children living in poor housing or cramped housing conditions can negatively affect their development.
Lack of Education opportunities can affect life outcomes as can a lack of play and leisure access as this can affect cognitive and other areas of development. Poverty can lead low expectations and reduced motivation resulting is low aspirations in life. * Family environment and background - some parents are not able to cope so well and this can affect children’s development. Depression, drug-taking and alcoholism are a few examples of conditions that could contribute to a parent’s inability to fulfil their parenting role easily. Most families will suffer stresses from time to time e.g.
Behavioural problems 5. Learning difficulties 6. Disabilities 7. Offending Behaviour Some children and young people may need a period of time in care while a crisis at home is being ashamed and support is being put in place. Parents often need extra support to help them parent and children will need to be with foster carer while that is taking place.
A lot of parents do a lot for their children with regards to speaking. Parents talk for their children at times and some do this more than others. This can affect their levels of communication as they may not have developed the skills they need to ask questions or answer them. It’s not always English as a second language which is a barrier. It can be that their opportunity to speak and communicate hasn't been the same as other children.
They may be expected to do more around the house chores, help take care of younger siblings, or even get a job at an earlier age than they would have normally. Stress effects children negatively just as it does adults, which if the stress continues over time it can lead to anxiety or any number of anxiety disorders. “Certainly some situations can be anxiety producing, especially those that disrupt the child's sense of structure and order in their world (parental divorce, deaths in the family, trauma, moves).” (Environmental, 2009) The mental work load of a child isn’t limited to home life. It extends into their life at school as well. Children spend the majority of
