 * __Poverty and Development__**

Poverty has been directly coordinated with devlopment. People who live in poverty, often face more problems then the other classes. They are at an immediate disadvantage starting in the womb. It is important to try to get these children the help they need to be a productive part of society. In this web page, we will discuss some of the problems children in poverty face. We will also discuss some of the ways the government is trying to help these people.

 * c) Poverty rate
 * Behavior extends from a combination of environment and genes. Psychologist believe that genes make up 30-50% of our behaviors and the environment makes up the other 50-70%.
 * [|Effects of poverty on childhood development and health]
 * With an increase in the cost of living, people in the poverty line are spending less money on food. This means that people aren't getting the proper nutrition that they need. This can lead to starvation if the food is too low. The government tries to help out by providing food stamps and free or discounting lunch. This still isn't enough sometimes because children still aren't getting the right kinds of food.
 * Another problem with nutrition on people living in poverty is birth. Many babies who are born from people who are considered in poverty have a low birth weight or preterm births. This is not a good thing because low birth rate and preterm births are the #1 reason for African American babies deaths, and the #3 reason for white babies deaths. Low birth weight babies are often found to have trouble getting iron into their bodies.
 * [|Effects of Prenatal Poverty on Infant Health]
 * [|How Poverty Affects Behavior and Academic Performance]
 * Parents who are poor have difficulty providing intellectually stimulating activities for the children. These include toys, books, and quality day-care. They are also more likely to neglect their children which also puts the children at a disadvantage when it comes to school.
 * People who are poor for a long time show significantly lower on tests of cognitive achievement than do children who are not poor. This has even been proven when neglect in the home life was taken away. The longer a child is in poverty, the lower his/her scores go down.
 * Babies who are born with a low birth weight have been found to have neurological deficits, neurological abnormalities, have a longer time learning language comprehension skills, and lower visual recognition acuity. Babies who are born with a low birth weight have also been found to have lower IQ's up to age 11.
 * Factors for students in poverty
 * **E**motional and Social Challenges.
 * **A**cute and Chronic Stressors.
 * **C**ognitive Lags.
 * **H**ealth and Safety Issues.
 * These four added up, make for a hard time for students to get a good education.
 * Students who live in poverty often get frustrated with their work and will give up easily.
 * They also have trouble working in group settings.
 * Students who come from low income classes are morelikely to: act out in class, be impatient, lack politeness, and lack correct emotional responses.
 * [|Neurocognitive Development]
 * [|Poverty Goes Straight to the Brain]
 * When compared to the non-poor, people in povery show large deficits in cognitve and socioemotional development.
 * Are often associated with emotional and social instability
 * When they are infants anxiety is more common. This grows into insecurity when older.
 * In order to grow up emotionally healthy, it is important that these thigns are met in the first 3 years-
 * 1) A reliable caregiver who provides love, guidance, and support.
 * Unfortunally, children who live in poverty aren't getting most or enough of these four areas. This is putting them at a severe disadvantage from other children of the same age.
 * Parents of poor houses are often overworked and tired. Because of this they put in less time giving their child the love, attention, and education they need. They also use the authoritarian style of parenting more frequently. Without the love and care of their parents, children have trouble making healthy relationships.

 * Headstart
 * Designed to help children become ready for school. It has been found that children from low-income houses are already at a disadvantage, and head start is trying to put them back on a level playing field. They focus on the development of social, emotional, and cognitive behaviors. The program is designed for children ages three and four.
 * Pell Grant- Help people go to college. These are loans that do not have to be repaid. It is designed for children from low-income households.
