There are many different categories for at risk students. The categories are fulfillment of Basic needs, family stability, school related experiences, interaction patterns in the home and parental attitudes and values. The category that I feel is the most important of the six categories is family stability. The child’s family life has a lot to do with the child’s schooling and behavior.
There are many factors to consider when you are talking about family stability. Family stability can be based on a home where there is only one parent, a parent could be incarcerated, the child’s parents could be going thru a divorce, there could be abuse or domestic violence, the socioeconomic status of the household, an older sibling who dropped out high school, the family could be a military family with an deployment in place, there could be a drug addict or an alcoholic in the house. All of these factors affect the family’s stability and will affect the child’s behavior. The family could be above or below the poverty level with a one or two paychecks coming into the house. Everything that goes on in the family and in the family house will reflect on the child’s schooling and their self esteem. The child’s self esteem is one thing to consider when you put the child in the category of at risk. Family stability means something different to every family and is something that cannot be standardized. The one thing that is the same with family stability is that if affects the children in the home.
There are many programs that help students who are having issues with family stability. Some of the programs are the Big Brother Big Sister program, the Adolescent Sexuality and Pregnancy Prevention, Coping Power program, Family matters program, responding in Peaceful Positive Ways and the Teen Outreach Program.
