Causes of Stress in Early Childhood

Stress can be caused by a variety of positive and negative factors or a combination of factors. Within Early Childhood the causes of stress can be a little difficult to identify and improve depending on each child. Here are some of the top surveyed stress causes in the average child’s life time…

• The sickness or death of a loved one.

– When a child is experiencing a death or sickness in their family, it is ideal to console the child and allow them to vocalize emotions. Sometimes just communicating and talking about what’s going on can really help understand the situation. Children tend to overthink matters, usually based off of the lack of understanding what is going on around them. Think before speaking, you never know what is going on in someone’s head even if they vocalize there emotions. As a support/guiding model in an type of classroom setting you are responsible for teaching ways to work through problems whether emotionally or physically. This is also a great time to speak about the wonders of death with early childhood, although it can be a Conversal topic to some parents. It’s definitely necessary to show some type of compassion and caring to a child’s life. This helps build rewarding relationships and cultural understanding of each child, as an instructor you want these strong relationships with students of various cultures to help provide them the best learning opportunities possible. Enrich your understanding and the learning will flow naturally.

• Hardships affecting family and friends

– Most parents tend to place there children in public childcare setting so there children can make healthy relationships and friends in a protective environment outside of the home. There are many factors to be considered when discussing and developing human relationships. Children come into contact with many unknown problems in classrooms all the time that are well kept away from instructors. children can experience five typical factors such as…

1. Bullying; The reasons some students bully one another can begin from their own annoyances to a physical event which causes the attacks to happen. Adults are slowly becoming apart of the problem as well by openly picking favorites within classroom setting and openly lashing out at students by exposing low or high grades. Psychologically, teachers are trying to impower students to be more like the lead person in the classroom which but this method is having oppose affects. This creates grievances and stress among students.

Adolescence or normally malicious children don’t usually need a reason to bully others. Attention seeking is typically the stem reason for why attacking another student can be seen as “okay” in their eyes.

2. Non-socialable, Some children aren’t used to speaking unless spoken too. Some households uphold this behavior to teach respect among there kids. As a instructor you must respect the parents ways of raising there kids but also allow for ways the student can make friendships while attending school.

3. Physical inability, lifestyle choices can lead to negitive events in a child’s life. Sometimes being physically immobilized can affect the mental health of a child, making them want to not make friends. Reaching out to these students isn’t hard. Engage them within activities with the general population of students so they don’t feel outcasted or alienated into thinking they aren’t good enough to be around the normal kids.

4. Relationships Problems, romantic relationships are become  more and more of a hot topic among students younger and younger. But what happens when they break up? This is a cause of stress or anxiety within the classroom. Students who actively participate in romantic activities with other students are exposing themselves into the flow of rumors or center of communication. Positive and negative factors come from this event. Positive, feeling of popularity and love can quickly turn into false assumptions and rumors meant to either harm or bully.

5. Home Environments, some students home environment wether abusive or not, can cause stress. This depends on the child’s personality and moral understanding. Not everyone agrees with how things are done or not done. But this can most certainly cause for stress within the home environment. Communication is the best way to handle home problems, even if you don’t agree on matters or solutions.

• Balencing work and family

– For some children parents don’t take the time to spend with they’re children because of long work hours or lack of parental figures in the household. This can be a stress caused among kids. If the relationship is strong between the mother (or father) to the child they will begin psychologically create reasons of why the parent doesn’t care. Without fully understanding how the world works after the age of 18. More than just a simple discussion is in place for repairing your relationships with Early Childhood. Physically being apart of there life is needed to help build back the trust and love of your family member.

• Disciplining children; when disciplining children some parents believe spanking or not spanking are ideal options to raising children correctly, which depends on the child. Spanking to some parental figures think this is a clear sign of child abuse. While on the other side parents believe this is a great method for teaching lifelong hardships they may face in the future. Research has determined that both sets of parents are right in how they choose to raise there kids. Although that doesn’t mean this defuses the discussion on “spanking”. It’s much healthier to have a conversation with your child about rights and wrongs. So they have a clearl understanding of why they are being punished. Some children don’t listen, which could be the beginning appoiches to adolescent behavior which could cause for the spanking. Yet either way develops a stress within kids. This again, is one of those matters depending on a child’s developmental experiences.

• A new baby

– a new baby in the household can cause stress if the child feels the new baby is earning more attention then themselves. Children aged 1-4 years of age will notice the changes and try to manipulate the environment for more attention causing the stress to overcome them. It’s a good idea to have activities and games which the child develops outlets to avoid being a problem.

• Financial Troubles,

– either positive or negative financial situations can affect your child’s developmental abilities. Most children don’t understand the flow of currency or the ability to earn till they are in the older stages of development, yet that doesn’t excuse the fact they don’t have the knowledge to comprehend why they can’t have what other students are able to afford. Parents should have the mental responsibility to have children at points in there life when they are ready to have children. Life does tend to throw crazy things out way.  But that doesn’t change the fact it causes depression and stress.

Everyone of various age ranges handles stress differently but the first step to understanding and really helping is discussioning known solutions to the problems at hand. If you know of other solutions please comment them and help your local families out to building a stress-free environment internationally.

Americans should teach children “Basic life skills like Japan does”

Social media is a pool of great ideas and learning experiences that you never stop to think about unless physical engaged in your everyday life. After watching a video on early childhood development in foreign countries I began thinking “this is exactly what I want to bring here in Washington state!” Japanese students learn about basic life structures from school, where they gain all there basic needs from teachers or peers.

In Japan, home economics is required through middle school throughout high school. Students are actually required to know something before advancing onto the next level of education. So why not American students? Early childhood might be a struggle to promote all advanced forms of learning although that’s the purpose of the consultants department. Creating structures in which students can have fun learning and gain from the lecture. Japanese students get to learn about cooking, sewing and other basic skills while also maintaining the facility structure on a daily bases! When I see students actively engaging themselves in there schoolife, it makes me wonder why American students don’t take the extra time out of there day participate in after school activities?

Teaching life skills and job skills are definitely essential toward quality child education. There is so much more learning structures than just what’s happening next to you.

Advanced learning for early childhood education

What about all the other subjects such as psychology, science, algebra, etc for early learning education? All of these curriculums are missing from our early childhood educational systems. Of course early childhood won’t be able to process all the scientific information and research developed by qualified professionals although that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be exposed to all the other career based opportunities that life has to offer.

Advanced learning structures for early childhood learners will develop them toward there career of interest. Child leadership skills allows for early childhood to work together supporting each other’s adventure into learning all the different career based learning intrgrated into professional developmental activities. Early learners should take the time to have fun while learning, this is why our program is revolutionary! Advanced learning for early childhood education means children are giving the opportunity to explore and mentally develop themselves for there career of interest. High school students hate when you ask them, What do you want to be when you grow up? Well even by this point in a young American adults lifespan, they typically don’t know what they want to do as far as a career is concerned. With achieve the early dream program, this program is going to teach children how to have fun “working” within there elements with the relationships they have developed by sharing common interest with peers.
