Poverty and social disadvantage (1)
Poverty is the greatest threat to the healthy development of children and young people in the
UK.
Possible effects:

• Children and young people may have to go without meals, clothes etc.

Poverty and social disadvantage (2)
• The child/young person’s diet may not be good. What foods do you think they might miss out on and what would be the consequences?
• A child/young person’s living conditions may be poor.
Do you know anyone in this position?
• The child may be smaller at birth.
• The child/young person’s education/work may suffer.

The importance of play for healthy child
development
• Through play, children learn and understand about the world and the people they meet.
• Play influences all aspects of a child’s development.
• Play is important for a child’s:
relationships
physical coordination
ideas and creativity
feelings
spiritual development. Published by Hodder Education, Copyright © 2011 Doreen Tombs
Emotional and social factors
• Socialisation (the
development of social skills)
is all about relating to
others.
• Emotional development is
all about feelings. How a
child feels will be influenced
by many of the factors that
affect the development of
social skills.
• Factors that affect the
development of social skills:
genetic inheritance
attachment
physical factors
economic and environmental
factors
upbringing
having role models
culture and gender
family size and position in
family
friends and peers.

Parental health and lifestyle
• The health and lifestyle of a parent/carer can have a
real effect on a child’s development, e.g. mum suffers
from depression, dad is violent, mum is an alcoholic,
dad is a drug addict.
• Sometimes children have to take on a carer’s role.
• Parents may not ‘be available’ (physically and
emotionally) for their children.
• Children may suffer physical neglect.
• Parents may not show much love and affection.
• Some living conditions may be poor and/or unsafe.
