Default HELP! assignment 031 - CCLD 3 - Task A

I need help with task a - a description of possible social, economical and cultural factors which could affect children and young people.
I have written this and wondered if it was ok? going insane!

When working with children you should be aware of all possible social, economic and cultural factors which may impact on the upbringing of children and young people attending the setting. These factors are issues within society which will or can affect children or young peoples lives. Social factors – An example of a possible social factors could be a child having to deal with the separation of their parents. Being bought up in the set up, living with one parent and visiting other parent in a new home may have a negative impact on a child emotionally. This separation from having both parents around you in the same home to having only 1 parent in the family home can cause a child to feel very upset and alone during this transaction. This will also cause a lot of confusion, insecurities including lack of trust to adults around them and becoming afraid of caring for adults in and around their family homes. Economic factors – An example of a possible economic factor could be a child living with an unemployed parent or parents, this could affect a child's upbringing because a parent may not be able to offer adequate amounts of food, drink and good quality foods, parents may not be able to afford appropriate hygiene being unable to afford bills which could have affects on the living conditions of the family home even causing poverty. This example could have affects on the child: poor health, being underweight, illness' from poor living conditions such as from damp in the house and cause much more stress for the child to be present to. Cultural factors - An example of a possible cultural factor could be a families religious beliefs and views which can affect and can restrict activities the child can get involved in during their time at the setting. This could be seasonal and religious festivals such as Christmas. It can also affect their dressing needs which may show obvious signs of being different to others which may cause a child to have low self-esteem and lack in confidence. The way children who are bought up in a religious family may have different beliefs which alter the way in which they are bought up. This could affect a child as they may experience discrimination and equality which could affect possible opportunities later in life.
