  1. Q4. Discuss potential effects of deprivation or trauma in childhood on later development Q5 & 6. Define resilience and discuss strategies to build resilience. Study Guides and Pearson p. 199-205 Social Development

  2. Q4. Discuss potential effects of deprivation or trauma in childhood on later development • Introduction • Deprivation-living in a state of neglect to provide basic physical, emotional, or social needs; often related to institutionalization, poverty, parenting • Trauma-experiencing a powerful shock • Thesis: Childhood deprivation or trauma may affect later development, but recovery is possible

  3. Body- Potential effect of trauma • PTSD-Post-traumatic stress disorder • Due to divorce, death, abuse, natural disaster, war • Impulsivity, agitation, hyper-vigilance, avoidance • Research • Carion (2009)-fMRI scans of PTSD children showed less hippocampal activity compared to a control • Yehuda (2001)- study of children of Holocaust survivors indicate PTSD can be transmitted from parent to child

  4. Potential effects of deprivation- Rutter (2004) • Romanian adoptees in the UK- 144 children who spent at least 6 months in institutions • Cognitive impairment (neural damage) • From 6-24 months in the institution: 12% • From 24-42 months in the institution: 36% • Disinhibited attachment disorder • From 6-24 months in the institution: 16% • From 24-42 months in the institution: 33%

  5. Recovery • No effects if children were in the institution for less than 6 months • Effects not fixed and irreversible • Most did not show cognitive impairment or disinhibited attachment disorder

  6. Q5 & 6. Define resilience and discuss strategies to build resilience. • Introduction • Resilience- maintaining adaptive functioning in spite of serious risk factors (Rutter, 1990) • Approaches- risk and protective factors; contextual factors and individual factors • Risk factors-poor attachment, poor parenting, violence • Protective factors- parenting skills, tutoring, social skills training • Thesis: Adversity can be overcome by building resilience

  7. Sources of adversity & resilience: Schoon & Bartley, 2008 • Adversity • Poverty and disadvantage • Social exclusion • Unemployment • Resilience • Academic competence • Supportive family life • Effective social environment • Employment

  8. Programs • The Triple P: Positive Parenting Program • Social learning- enhance knowledge, skills, and confidence of parents • Sanders (2002)- the program was effective in reducing children’s disruptive behavior • Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) • Mentoring for high-risk children • Social support from a caring adult • Tierney (1985)-social support from a caring adult with positive expectations increased resilience
