Poverty in Africa

There are children around the world that are faced with many stressors. I am employed in a district full of low income families that struggle with poverty daily. Professionals gather baskets of basic needs to help aide the families through the rough times and assist them with resources that would help for the moment.
Children that are stressed act out in both positive and negative ways. The adults in their lives should pay close attention to behaviors of the child; for they may be acting out trying to cope.

I chose Africa's children in poverty. Children who live in poor conditions, such as, no clean drinking water, no running lavatories and the children that have HIV. The children suffer in poverty mainly because of the government focusing on economic empowerment and consolidation of power instead of focusing on the education of their future...children.

Hi,

I want you to take a look at: What Can You Learn by Observing Children? 

Just for fun!!!

Special Education and Early Childhood

Today I was thinking about how often many students are affected by a disability, and how often they are under served in the early childhood community. Because early childhood education is not mandatory many parents chose to not send their children, and many early childhood education facilities are not properly staffed or equipped to serve children with disabilities.
I found a wonderful resource web page that answered many of my questions and may answer many of yours. Here is the link: http://www.naeyc.org/
