ECE 405 Week 5 Final Paper Annotated Bibliography Diverse Family Structures

During the research of children of homelessness I found that being a child is difficult; but, it is even more difficult when your family is poor, and unsecure. Imbalances within the family can be difficult even without outsideinfluences making it even more difficult. We as teachers see more than parents think we do; wemay notice that a child shows up dirty to class, or seems distracted all the time. This is when weas teachers need to find out what exactly is going on with our students and their family. As ateacher we need to discuss how we will deal with children who are struggling, how we asteachers will connect with families and the different strategies that can be used to supportstudents and families within their learning environment. As I researched the why homelessness occurs I also found that these children are a byproduct of the life they were dealt whether by being a single parent, a fatherless home, immigrants or homeless with nowhere else to go. Knowing what we can do as Early Educators to help homeless children and their families has become very important in schools. In these synopses you will find some information that will give you a better understanding of homeless children and what we can do as educators to help them overcome this obstacle in their life
