Disasters- Effects on Childhood Development
Any occurrences in childhood
including life-threatening situations stemming from natural or man-made disasters and catastrophes; severe physical injury; torture; traumatic loss of family members, friends and other significant attachment figures; loss of one’s community or social environment
causes children
become rather vulnerable, especially when they
are witnesses to violence and disasters.( Sagi-Schwartz, 2008)Slide4
"The quality of resilience can be identified even in young and vulnerable children...social competence, problem-solving skills, autonomy, and a sense of purpose. All these qualities may be inculcated in young children through skillful and sensitive caregiving. All are needed for children to feel confident in facing future circumstances that threaten their identity and well-being" (Brooker & Woodhead, 2008, p 48.)Slide5Slide6

“
Books should give children the chance to explore new things and ideas, and labelling books, and certain subjects, as only for one gender prevents them from doing this,” says Alexandra Strick, of children’s literature project Inclusive Minds.
Her
co-founder Beth Cox, adds, “These books reinforce stereotypes about what it means to be a boy or a girl, and therefore make children who don’t conform to these stereotypes more vulnerable to bullying and at risk of low self-esteem
”.
According to (Derman-Sparks & Edwards, 2010), it is important to have a book with stereotypes in the classroom specifically to engage children’s critical thinking. Every subject area of an early childhood program has the potential to address anti-bias education themes and activities that includes explorations of gender, ability, racial identity, culture, and economic class among children.
