Using the ecological-systems approach, think about the impact of poverty on a child's cognitive development
Give an example of an influence within each of the following four
contexts: family, school/peers, neighborhood/community, and cultural values/economic

poverty on cognitive development. Answers will vary, but should include the relation
between poverty and family interactions (e.g., parents' stress will decrease quality of
parenting), school/peers (e.g., the condition of schools), neighborhood/community
(e.g., may be unsafe neighborhood, causing children stress on the way to and from
school), and cultural values/economic policies (e.g., Head Start program).
