The Effects Of Poverty On Children Arti
My View of Childhood
The Oxford dictionary states that Childhood is ‘The state or period of being a child’. Individual’s definition of childhood differs immensely depending on their social background, religion, culture and many other effecting influences.
My view of childhood is that it provides an introduction to the society. I believe that, while Individuals are within their childhood state, they should be able to learn and develop without any worry. This can happen if a child is provided with equal opportunities, access to a learning environment, a loving, caring, encouraging and fear free upbringing. I believe that full childhood is from birth to teenage years, where individuals then experience childhood and adolescence at the same time. The time between birth and teenage years is an opportunity for children to explore with their own personalities, image and behaviour, such as immaturity and giddiness, without the fear of prejudgement.
It is my belief that a child should be able to play freely, which enables learning and happiness, explore their surroundings and be given opportunities to build memories for their childhood to reach its full potential.
I am convinced that childhood is effected by economic and social standings as childhood has changed greatly in the past century, from children working with no education and play, to children having a full education and a majority of play outside and now children and families rely heavily on electronic materials.
I believe that a person’s childhood is now greatly effected by their parental income and therefore I have completed my summary in relation to the effects poverty has on childhood, as I believe this is a key aspect in a child’s life.
