Consequences of Stress on Children’s Development

I couldn’t choose one person that poverty had a huge impact on.  My mother grew up in a family of seven children.  During the time they grew up wages were not really high.  Both of my grandparents worked, my grandmother worked in a factory making shoulder pads making $1.75 per hour.  My grandfather worked in a company that made steel were he made a good amount.  He checks were mainly for the up keep of the household bills and to keep everyone in a good school so they could receive a great education.  They all say growing up was hard, they did not always have the latest fashions and all the things that popular children had but they were happy.  I believe going through these circumstances has made them strong, hardworking individuals. All of the siblings have good jobs, and have become successful.  So in this case there environment has shaped them to become better people.

Although the poverty level in China has decline it still affects their children.  Because of the poverty level many children cannot afford education cost or health care which can affect the children in this is happening in China’s richest city Beijieng.
