Homelessness is a serious problem in the United States. It takes whoever it wants to, from the oldest of elders to the youngest of children. In fact, 1 out of 30 students in public schools in the United States are homeless. That’s nearly 2.5 million children. The solution? Its easy. Homes. Some of the main causes of homelessness include low income, natural disasters, and for children, running away from home because of neglect and/or abuse. I believe that all of […]
There is nothing more challenging in life than trying to survive in this world without a home. Homelessness of children known to child protection agencies defies all we know about the need for consistency and appropriate structure for children (Mignon, 2015, p. 96). Unstable housing is one of the major contributing factors, as to why families become connected with child welfare agencies (Mignon, 2015). In January 2014, about 578,424 individuals were classified as being homeless throughout the United States, which […]

Homelessness is a problem that has no regard for its victims. People of all ages, races, gender and religions can be impacted by homelessness.

The Relationship between Homelessness and the Learning Disabled Student When we think of homelessness we typically never consider the children that are involved. We see these people in our communities daily. They are often displaced for a variety of reasons. Some have mental illnesses and cannot take care of themselves and others are there for temporary monetary reasons. But what about the children? They are the small victims of something that is out of their control. More than 1.6 million […]
It is true that children who are homeless receive inadequate attention, the well-being of homeless children is overlooked because their physical health, mental health, and social- emotional functioning are diminishing. The development of humans within the early years is critical for the way a person is maintained throughout life. Many factors contribute the personal development such as social, emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and physical factors. Development is how a child grows physically and emotionally and learns to communicate, think, and socialize. […]
Social work is often described as social neuroscience. Neuroscience deals with the study of the brain and nervous system. Studying neuroscience helps make a better connection for social workers in terms of their clients’ behaviors and development. Brain development is affected by many different things including genes and environment (Egan, 2011). Although the connection of neuroscience and social work is still new, there are still major points as to why it’s an important topic to study. Social workers work closely […]
Abstract Childhood obesity is a severe medical disability that can have an adverse effect on a child’s life. Children who are considered obese are above the weight requirements for their height and age by carrying extra pounds of weight. Middle childhood is defined as the ages 6-12. (Rathus, 2017, p. 173). This age group is very critical for kids to grow and get proper nutrition and engage in their regular physical activities. Childhood obesity has many adverse effects that can […]
Abstract One of the biggest problems in society today is childhood obesity. Childhood obesity is a serious medical condition in which children are above the normal weight and height for their age. The percentage of overweight children in the United States is growing rapidly every day at an alarming rate. “Since 1980, the childhood obesity rates… have tripled — with the rates of obese 6- to 11-year-olds more than doubling… and rates of obese teens… quadrupling” (Crowley). Over 30 percent […]
Abstract Resilience and vulnerability among children has been an ongoing topic in research of developmental psychology. These two definitions are closely tied together as they are considered both sides to the spectrum. Schaffer (2006) defines resilience and vulnerability as the susceptibility to develop malfunctioning following exposure to stressful life events, as opposed to the capacity to maintain competent functioning stress. If stressful life events are the trigger here, why is it that some children are far more vulnerable, yet others […]
Introduction I will be examining the relationship between an adopted child age 7 and the adoptive parents. These three people are in different crisis at different times in their lives. A topic we will discuss further in this paper. To do this I will explain this by using real life experience, and the thought process that goes through each of the people involved. Erikson’s psychosocial stages will be research based of Knowles text Human Development and Human Possibility: Erikson in […]
Maria Montessori is an icon in history. She has influenced my professional philosophy particularly due to her firm belief that there exists a difference in learning among children and adults. From this vein, Montessori once said: follow the child and let the child’s interest take lead. This denotes the belief that through the stages of development the absorbent minds of children are exposed to learning experiences that are ideal thus facilitating the growth of their mind. Play Environments The healthy […]
Many emerging adults today, particularly those who are enrolled in college, struggle with some form of anxiety. It might be clinical, or it could simply be a result of the stressors that people in this stage experience, but it is common enough to raise concern. It is possible that it is partially related to unstable upbringings that they experienced throughout their childhood and adolescent years. Studies have shown that parental nurturance and attentiveness are important for children’s well-beings as they […]
Abstract To understand the developments in the current industrial society, one must take a closer look at the view of children during the neoclassic and romantic periods of our history. In his book A Modest Proposal, Jonathan Swift discusses the role of social classes in determining a child’s role in the society, albeit in a satirical way. During the neoclassical period, industrial technology had not surfaced. Therefore, European parents had to toil or work harder to put food on the […]
Introduction The general idea behind the effects of screen-time come from how technology has taken over most mediums of learning, and the idea of placing the boundary between how much of it is okay and how much is not. Screen-time can be anything from phones, tablets, computers, video games, televisions, etc. As these types of technology advance, so does learning and both often overlap in certain aspects, however, it can be highly detrimental for the development of children. This is […]
For decades researchers in the field of psychology have debated nature versus nurture in the role of brain development. Are we really a product of genetics or does our environment determine who we become? In recent years, research has shown that environment, specifically in early childhood, is a strong predictor of success in adult life. In the first years of life, children develop habits that will last a lifetime. They will begin a life of activity or settle into a […]

The technology that also creates the graphics or the videos games grows and advances as well. This has made […]
While some teenagers get affected by the pressure of having to react to posts of their friends or respond to messages, others fear not being in the social loop. Called FOMO (fear of missing out), teens obsessively check their media feeds for updates by friends as they don’t want to miss out on jokes, activities, parties, and gossip. FOMO is also known to lead to depression and anxiety while being a major contributor to teenagers’ heavy use of social media. […]
In the development of morals in adolescents, no external influence is greater than that of their household environment. Through repremansion, reinforcement and both direct and indirect teaching, families instill morals in children, and help them to develop beliefs that reflect the values of their culture (education.gov). In today’s culture, racism is such a common encounter, preparing ones child on how to react in these situations seems as just another average conversation. Through parental tactics both politically and ethically of inclusivity, […]
When it comes to female immigrants, things are getting worse. According to many researches, the group of immigrants generally doesn’t perform well in the working market of Canada. There is more unemployment among immigrants than among the indigenous, which is especially true among the female immigrants. (Badets and Howatson 1999). According to George and Ramkissoon (1998), in 47 female immigrants from South Asia, most did not continue doing jobs of their experienced areas and were engaged into some other works […]

In this interview I will dissect their infancy, their adolescence in reference to relationships, and their adulthood employment and expectations. The Dahlgren-Whitehead rainbow model […]
For one to be a good father, one must learn how to be a good father. Not everyone in life has a father of their own, and not everyone has the resources to learn what is right from wrong in the realm of parenting. Being a father cannot be an easy job, as all aspects of childcare are incredibly difficult. But when there is a father in the equation, the quality of life increases in a massive way. Frequently in […]
The Fatherhood Project is a program that strives to improve the overall well-being and health of children and their families by enabling fathers to become more active, knowledgeable, and emotionally involved with their children. I found this very interesting because I feel like there is not enough research done about father’s positions in families and their relationships with their children. I decided to look more into their program geared towards divorced fathers and how a fathers living situation and parenting […]
