Factors effecting childrens development

The factors which occur for social and economic growth development are gender

, family, education, culture and income. With gender people have different expectations on what girls and boys should and shouldn't do e.g. people think that only boys should play football. Some males believe that a woman's place is in the home. In some cultures the boy's opinions are valued more than the girl's but the girl's opinion doesn't matter. People have different sexualities such as being gay, lesbian and bisexual and some people frown upon this. Family expectations may be set for a child and the child may not like this would mean that a problem would occur in the family and this would cause family arguments. Family arguments are not just about the expectations of the family but many other reasons too e.g. other members of the family having different opinions on a tough situation, this may also cause the family to fall out then other family members who get involved will be seen to be taking sides. Divorced parents may give problems for their offspring because of different routines or maybe the parents talk bad about or to the other parent sometimes in anger. To a child a step family would be a problem because they will be just getting to know this new step parent and the child may become insecure due to them thinking that this step parent is trying to replace their real parent. Parents try to teach their children values and skills also including their beliefs for later on in life this would be the difference between right and wrong, the use of bad/fowl language and the correct way to behave etc. Education in school, on visits or travelling etc, is given to a child will help the child to reach their potential by using an appropriate stimulation, by giving children opportunities and by encouraging a positive self-image. There is a variety of cultures and in these cultures their religious beliefs and their way of life can affect development. Some cultures arrange marriages for their offspring, some cultures forbid eating certain foods and some have a certain dress code and have to cover up most of the body where as others are not about what parts of the body that you can or cannot show. Income plays a big part in every day life this will affect personal development. People who live in poverty and have poor housing and diet because this is all that they can afford are more likely to suffer ill health; these people are unlikely to get involved in leisure activities. People on low income will notice that this has a dramatic affect on day to day life e.g. can not pay for transport, not very well dressed and it's hard to fund for new clothes and not able to get the latest technology e.g. if a child has homework a computer would help with this especially in high school and collage etc.
