Many people argue that development is vital in the younger years in the child’s life, and the ability to solve problems and apply ideas help in the long-term. Hyman argues that the lower classes create a self imposed barrier to learning their values. This is because he believes that they have a low value on education, with a ‘play safe’ culture and also a low level of self belief. This would all impact on the child performance at school as they would not have the attitude needed to progress. If at any point they failed, they would see this as a big mistake and give up and have a lack of motivation.
Analyse key social, economic and environmental factors, which may influence development. Love is a key social factor that may influence development. The absence of love in a child’s life can be visible in the child appearance. Children whose hair might has not been washed for a number of days or who are wearing the same filthy clothes everyday will show signs of poor hygiene and not being care for properly. Children who are not loved will find it difficult in the future to make long lasting friendships.
The family in turn will rely on the educated child to grow up and have a good job, so that when they have their own children they are able to pay taxes towards their children’s education and so on. Unfortunately in poverty or poor areas it can be difficult for society to change the cycle. This can delay or even prevent improvement. For example, if parents aren’t working and therefore not paying their taxes, this could lead to crime which could mean that the local government cannot maintain high educational standards. Teenagers leaving school cannot find good jobs and can result in them turning to vandalism; drugs and many may not find or even look for a job.
Other disadvantages from this situation can be that sometimes a single parent can’t afford expensive holidays which would make the child feel left out when they are talking about events when after coming back from their holidays and are asked to write or tell about what happened during the school holidays. The child will lose their self confidence and moral will be low if all the factors above do occur, they may also get jealous of other children who could be in a better situation because of the financial stability brought by having both the parents being together. Example 2: Children moving form Reception to Juniors most parents and children get worried about how they will fit into new environments, with children older then their own, not knowing how and what is required of them to which can cause both parent and child to feel insecure by not sleeping well and having nightmares, not eating food, and as the time gets closer the child will start to be more clingy towards the parent and vice versa for the parent
As getting it wrong can lead to multiple placements and this will be detrimental to the child. Placements can break down for lots of different reasons ie. Bad behaviour and aggression, contact issues with family, rivalry between foster siblings. Some theorists have identified that children who experience stable placements that provide good quality care are more likely to succeed in education and be in work and settle into and manage their accommodation after leaving care. They will also feel better about themselves and achieve social interaction in adulthood.
Children are hindered by these kinds of schools, teachers and peers lay a big role in the children’s lives. Some teachers are there for the income it will bring into their house hold and not the well-being of the child and students are pressued by their peers into thinking that education is lame and for losers. In most cases this is what children of low income go through but not all. Many may not realize that the surroundings of children may sometimes affect their future. Being raised in a low income area surrounded by people living the same lifestyle as you as if struggling is the norm of society.
Explain How Different Types of Background Affect Relationships* Cultural Background Affect relationships and the way people communicate Children or young people that have been brought up in different circumstances to others, may impede their chances of an opportunity to develop their language and communicating skills with others. This may be social, race or cultural. Upbringing also may include extended family life such as new step families and indeed single parents. All changes effect children’s lives and their social skills. Other difficulties we may encounter can be outside the home and within the environment, for instance, no local library to study, high crime areas, which would be unsafe to play in.
This could be because adoptive parents are far more likely to have a counselor see a boy than a girl. This may be because a boy is more likely to run away or start fights at school. Is this all the adopted kid’s fault, not really as research shows this could merely be associated with placement instability and adoption disruption’s. Pre-adoptive abuse variables turned out to be connected with internalizing and externalizing problems. If an adoption goes smooth normally research shows that it was a positive factor in determining a child’s outcome.
The media not only distracts society from reality, but also provides temporary pleasure; for example, television instantly fulfills the wish for relaxation. If people have the self-control to sample television in small doses, it can be relaxing without being harmful. However, when television is integrated into the daily routine and becomes "necessary," people rely on it for artificial happiness. Depending on entertainment for pleasure is detrimental to health and mind. For some people, entertainment yields greater joys than physical activity does.
Interpersonal communication skills are negatively affected by technology because social interactions and development are limited, which can affect future jobs, relationships and health in children (Comstock, 2007). Though it may be a convenience to busy parents and families, it can be a huge
