Abstract The sustainable growth of any country is based on children; needless to say children have and will be our future. What if this future is separated from their families and often lives in vulnerable conditions? Millions of children grow up in institutions that put at them at risk of inappropriate development. But of course there is an alternative to this harmful system and as Frederick Douglas said:” it is easier to built strong children than to repair broken men.” As the case study of this research shows alternative childcare in Thailand can be and is effective. Only by promoting awareness and fighting indifference vulnerable children will have a chance to grow up in a loving environment. Introduction According to UN around 8 million children are living in care institutions that deny them individual love and attention. More than 80% are not orphans. They …show more content…

Rene Spitz, a psychoanalyst, undertook research in the 1930s and 1940s on the effects of maternal deprivation and hospitalism. His studies were one of the first to show that that social interactions with other humans are essential for children’s development. Spitz focused on infants who had experienced abrupt, long-term separation from the familiar caregiver, as, for instance, when the mother was sent to prison. He thought that infants in institutions suffered from lack of love and they were missing important parental relationships, which in turn was hurting or even killing them. (Spitz 1945) Another famous psychiatrist William Goldfarb found that many children who had been in institutional care could make only “partial love attachments” in their new homes and he argued that the personality of children in institutions was “congealed at a level of extreme immaturity” and that they showed an “attitude of passivity and emotional apathy”.

This book raised awareness to authorities on the kind of treatment happening and proposed a change for foster institutions and homes to be monitored. The story began by Ms. Rita, Jennings’s mom, walking Jennings to an orphanage called Home of the Angels.

Jeannette found comfort and security in having her basic needs met, something that she couldn’t find back at home. Her desire to remain in such an environment is supported by a systematic review led by Jackson et al. al (2023) which explores the various interventions to support children’s recovery from neglect. Interventions like Attachment Biobehavioral Catchup (ABC) parenting and Bucharest Early Intervention Project (BEIP) foster care demonstrated overall improvements in a child’s cognitive, behavioral, and emotional abilities. Given that many people admitted to a hospital have the desire to leave as soon as possible, these reported improvements make it easier to understand why Jeannette wanted to stay in that setting forever.

The universal importance of the relationship between children and their primary care givers is a concept that most of society can relate to irrespective of whether they understand the ‘theory of attachment’ that underpin it. Therefore, framing the discussion of the broader treatment of asylum seekers in the context of treatment of Children and the negative consequences of detention and separation can generate a more compassionate understanding even from those who seek to promote a generally hard-line approach to asylum seekers. There has been significant media attention on the topic which is likely to have influenced the Turnbull governments policy in targeting the end to detaining refugee Children in Australia, although they continue to fund the detention of a number of children in offshore detention centres.

In chapter one, Elizabeth D. Hutchison covers many points regarding the values and beliefs of children during their childhood. As children grow up into adolescences and adults their values often reflect on how they were raised during their childhood era. Children who suffer from neglect, shelter, abuse sexual, mental, or physical, abandonment ect... Often struggle when they enter the teenage stage and the adult hood age. Since they did not have anyone to guide them through life they often feel lost and do not know how to manage big changes that come into their life especially when a change in their life is positive. Many of these children who have suffered abuse or any issues are often placed in foster care at a young age.

Heather Hogue CRMJ348-001 11/17/2015 Response Paper #2: Aileen Wuornos What happened to Aileen Wuornos? Was she insane or was she severely damaged from her past? In this paper, I will argue how Aileen Wuornos became a killer based on her life and upbringing. She had experienced long-term abuse as a child, had been abandoned/having no emotional bond by her primary caregivers, and began “hooking” because she was desperate to survive.

Dr. Bruce Perry began his book The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog: And Other Stories from a Child Psychiatrist's Notebook – What Traumatized Children Can Teach Us About Loss, Love, and Healing with a statement about children and their resilience. Much like what we discussed in class, Dr. Perry touched on how children were thought to be naturally resilient and that they seemed to bounce back quickly. However, he continued with the statement that even the slightest bit of stress can impact an infant's development. Likewise, we discussed numerous things that can impact the welfare of children, such as attachment, education, and poverty.

Before watching the speech Georgette Mulheir’s speech, I never realized living in an orphanage could cause so many issues for children especially for small babies. It’s sad to hear, about the children who are changed only at certain times, and if for some other reason they need to be changed an hour later, that they would have to lay there in their own filth until their scheduled change. With those kinds of living conditions it makes sense, that children who grow up like that would have issues in their developed. Especially when compared to a child raised in a loving home. John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth both studied “Attachment Theory” which is a theory that tries to define underlying forces of short and long term relationships between human

Institutionalisation can also severely affect a child’s development, but this can sometimes be recovered when the child is adopted. The child’s physical features like height, weight and head circumference can suffer during this time. Also, cognitively a child’s IQ can be off a normal range if adopted around their 3rd birthday but when it comes to school performance the cognitive performance can lag cognitive competence. Also, when it comes to emotional development, a study of Romanian adoptees demonstrated that attachment was affected if the child wasn’t adopted before they were 12 months old compared to secure attachments likely to be achieved before then, but babies adopted under 6 months showed normal attachment patterns during early childhood.

Hate leads to conflict, and the pursuit of happiness is absent. Stark contrasts appear between children with parents and orphans as they grow up. Children with parents are raised with love, while orphans never experience what other children are exposed to. A lonely orphan raised in a foster home is going to behave differently from a child with a fully supportive family.

At the same time, children's rights differ from adults' rights in significant ways. Children are dependent on others to learn the skills, attitudes, and behaviors that good citizens of the world have. Children having in circumstances that interfere with their development require concern. Finally, the proper growth and development of all children throughout the world are the responsibility of all nations” (Social Work., 2012). Each role is important to determine the service and needed assistances and wellbeing physically, emotionally, and mentally.

Literature Review Throughout the years, research has been conducted on the effects that foster care can have on children. In the United States alone, there are roughly 670,000 children who have spent time in the foster care system each year (“Foster Care,” 2017). Of those children, approximately 33% of them age out of foster care system. Studies then show that the foster care system has had varying effects on the children who are/have been a part of it. In many cases, studies have noted the effects of attachment for children in foster care.

My second observation observed for analysis is highlighting biochemistry of love and nurturing concepts studied with the day care environment. The situation I noted involved a small child, upon waking up from nap time, appeared very upset because he was missing his mother. Many tears shed because he realized his mother wasn’t there to comfort him, but he soon realized that he could find comfort in the workers present. If you separate a child from their parents, there is usually going to be tears or sadness of some kind, often referred to as separation anxiety. Children missing their parents is a common occurrence at this day-care.

There are many issues regarding the welfare of children from all over the world. Children have been repeatedly impacted by wars and conflicts in their countries. Moreover, many children from some areas do not have access to their rights such as education and health and have to suffer from discrimination, violence, abuse and sexual and economic exploitation. After the World War II, Children from all over Europe had to suffer the aftermath of the war. This is when the United Nations stepped in and created United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund, or as today’s shorter term, United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in December 1946 with the sole purpose to lessen the suffering by providing foods, clothing and health care.
