: Research that Benefits Children and Families
I was checking out the Child Trends websites
and I found a research article related to my research topic, school readiness
and poverty. The title of the article is “Disadvantaged Families and Child
Outcomes: The Importance of Emotional Support for Mothers.” The purpose of the
study was to examine the availability of emotional support for disadvantaged
mothers and its effects on their children. The findings of the research
discovered that children from disadvantage backgrounds have better social and
behavioral outcomes when mothers have emotional support in parenting. Emotional
support from mothers offers a safeguard against negative child outcomes such as
depression and grade retention. The researchers propose specifically that
children are more likely to display social competence and school engagement.
The summary of the research was all children from advantage and disadvantage
backgrounds benefit when their mothers having emotional support. The highlight
of the research is to value finding ways to ensure that mothers and families
from disadvantaged backgrounds receive the support they need.

This is a very interesting post to read about! I think many parents have a difficult time finding support and outreach programs, particularly as their children get older. Moms need support too!
ReplyDeleteHi Katara,
ReplyDeleteThis is an important topic. Moms do need support in order to keep themselves and their families on the right track. Emotional support is really important for single moms because they do not have anyone to lean on at home. Children can be demanding and it is important they have the resources they need to do the best job they can as parents. The children need their moms to be able to support them as well so it really is a circle that everyone needs to be part of to help the child succeed.
This is a very important article. It supports several other articles that I came across in the previous course I took. It underlines one of the effects that poverty can have on not only a family but the child as well.
