    Research shows "61 percent of children who spend the first 10 years of life in a single-parent family were poor for the most of the period, and only 7 percent avoided poverty altogether" (Hammersley). The last issue that Kozol focuses on are the risks poor children face on a daily basis. "Early childhood experiences contribute to poor children's high rates of school failure, dropout, delinquency, early childbearing, and adult poverty" (Kozol 74). The level of developmental risk that poor children experience varies enormously and it is influenced in important ways by the depth and duration of family poverty. However, even among the long term poor, risks to child development vary according to the physical and mental health of parents, the availability of social support from outside the family, the place of residence, the resilience of children, and other circumstances. "Poor children are more likely than non-poor children to be low achievers in school, to repeat one or two grades, and to eventually drop out of school.

    Divorce and Children, Affects of By: Joy Parr The Affects of Divorce on Children As a child, there are many things that affect a view, memory, opinion, or attitude. Children have many of their own daily struggles to cope with, as peer pressures are an example. As an adult, we sometimes forget what it is like to be a child dealing with some of the childhood pressures. Many parents do not realize how something like divorce could possibly affect their children as much as it does themselves. As the case may be, children are strongly affected by divorce. Some react differently than do others, but all experience some kind of emotional change. Exposure to a highly stressful major life change event on children, which may overwhelm children 's coping capacity, and thus compromising favorable adjustments (Garmezy, Masten, & Tellegen, 1984; Gersten, Langner, Eisenberg, & Simcha-Fagan, 1977; Rutter, 1983). Research has indicated that this is particularly true for children in the circumstances surrounding parental divorce, and in the immediate aftermath (see reviews by Emery, 1982, 1988; Hetherington & Camara, 1984). Compared to children of intact families, many children of recently divorced families are reported to demonstrate less social competence, more behavioral problems, more psychological distress, and more learning deficits (Amato & Keith, 1991a; Hetherington, 1972; Hetherington, Cox, & Cox, 1979, 1982; Peterson & Zill, 1983, 1986; Wallerstein & Kelly, 1980), and are over-represented in referrals to clinical services (Guidubaldi, Perry, & Cleminshaw, 1984; Kalter, 1977). Further, an accumulating body of evidence from longitudinal studies of divorce supports continuity of negative affects beyond the 2-year postdivorce crisis period in a substantial minority of children and adolescents (Guidubaldi & Perry, 1984, 1985; Hetherington & Anderson, 1987; Hetherington & Clingempeel, 1992; Hetherington, Cox, & Cox, 1985, 1987, 1991), as well as the reemergence or emergence of…
