The Political Will to Improve Early Childhood Systems



·         All children and their families need to receive affordable, comprehensive, and high-quality health care.  
  Children need attachment in order to become healthy, caring, responsible connected adult. Children from households where parents are unavailable, afraid, and unpredictable, abusive, abandoned, and neglected always have challenges or struggles in school. Children affected by stress through their parents will have difficulty focusing or concentrating in school. As an advocate I would like to speak out for children under stress or who picked up stress from their parents.

·         Children and their parents receive the services and supports to enable them start school prepared for success. 
      Parental stress will affect a developing child by killing the brain cells.

·         All children have an equal opportunity to attend an adequately and equitably financed public school meeting rigorous academic standards aligned with the needs of the 21st century workforce. http://www.voices.org/issues.
Children develop interaction within the environment so when parental stressors are picked up they affect the proper development of a growing child. Children should have relationships that are nurturing and caring in order for them to succeed in life.

  1. Chika,

    I agree with you stress is a major factor when it comes to a child’s well-being. Like you said, a lot of times this stress comes from the parents, and that can be very difficult for a child to cope with. It is great that you want to advocate for children who are dealing with stress, they are sometimes the ones we forget to help.
