How Children’s Well-being Hindered by Poverty?  



Together we can make a difference in a child’s life  


Is children’s well-being negatively affected by poverty during the ages of 3-5, with an emphasis on cognitive development with regard to the preschool skills checklist?  
Children are effective by poverty in many developmental areas that will be affected by their well-being as well. Children at an early age need to develop and grow healthy in the four developmental domains such as cognitive, social, emotional, and physical. Children who live in low-income families are struggling in their health which will affect their ability of learning and it will hinder from their education. Poverty hindered children from well-being by the lack of access to education and poor health; these cause challenges to children to maintain a healthy start to life and education. Poverty and health are strongly linked. When children suffer from disease because of lack of health insurance, treatment, and health facilities this will deny children from having a healthy start. Improving children’s health is the key to well-being. On the other hand, children get affected by their families’ economic status and employment. By doing this research will help to come with some solutions and finding academic ways to help these children to meet the learning and academic level as other peers in the classroom.    

This study will benefit children first by helping them to meet their needs and achieve their goals. Also, the study will show how these children get struggles from poverty and how their well-being gets hindered by poverty. On the other hand, any issues that affect children have to take into consideration that it affects the early childhood field as well. The result of this study will help these children to catch up with other children by engaging them in more learning activities that can raise their level of understanding and communication. Furthermore, as an early childhood educator and professional, I can help these families to find ways to raise their incomes and provide them with sources to help them to reduce poverty effects and find ways to reach family goals which will reflect on all communities as well. 

This course is special due to many benefits and academic standards that help and shape my thinking of how to find a beneficial topic in the early childhood field gets benefits from it. By learning and practicing the purposes of research that add to my knowledge on how to be aware of many details about the topic I choose and how this topic will benefit the early childhood field.    

Thank you to my colleagues with all their support by sharing their thoughts and knowledge by supporting my learning purposes and their positive feedback which make a difference to my practice of learning.

    Hanadi,
    The issue of poverty is one that strikes not only local communities but also on a global scale. So many populations are impacted by poverty and it is important for not only early childhood professionals to understand that but community and nation leaders. If the consequences can be understood then hopefully change can occur for the betterment of all. You topic is one that truly is relevant to so many and I am pleased to have learn more through your contributions throughout this course.

Meaningful NAEYC Ideals to My profession The Three Ideals in the NAEYC and DEC codes of ethics that are meaningful to my profession are. * “To recognize and respect the unique qualities, abilities, and potential of each child.” Every child is a treasure. To look, seek, and dig out the quality values that every child has. Every child is capable of blooming in different timing which makes every child unique and special. As a teacher I deal with children based on their potential by nurturing and care with patience and love. Children need time to meet and know their ability and capacity of learning.         ** “To welcome all family members and encourage them to participate in the program.” Family is the key of love. When every family feels the need to be in the program to participate in different activities throughout the year that will lead and gain benefit and enjoy in the program. Every family member is a part of the program and to make it succe...

Access to healthy water Access to healthy water is vital to human life itself; so the impact it has on a developing child is of immeasurable size. In fact, a child with no access to healthy water will no doubt become sick. Once the body is troubled with an unhealthy source of water, it will lack the nutrients required for other organs such as the kidney, heart, and brain. Once these deductions become a problem, signals are sent to the brain to help dissolve these problems. However, if the brain is not able to focus on learning and development, the child will constantly fall behind in development and in other categories such as motor skills. An example of this comes from the country of Yemen, where fresh water is extremely scarce. In fact, only about 25% of the population has access to clean water; this means that child development is a huge struggle within the country. Although the conservative culture of the country inspires its children to be tough and to pursue education no m...

Global Fund for Children “ We support education from children’s earliest years to secondary school and on through university or vocational training.”    ( The Global Fund for children) The website has the same agendas in the field of education for the youth. Through working together to help end the lack of education, the fund focuses on beating poverty and similar issues through education. It sees education as a means of success, as we do here as well within the course. In order to be successful and be better off than their families, the children are provided with tools for education. Once this education is received, they can get out of the poverty and shambles they are currently in. For us, we can help students here do the absolute same. On the website, it says that “we advise, mentor and guide our partners”. This is a bit shaky because it does not look like this is a relationship of partners. Personally, this global fund is the hand on the top; the ...
