RISK FACTORS
Environmental Risk Factors

The social environment where children are

immersed plays an important role in their
personality development.
The environmental factors are categorized
within three aspects: physical surroundings,
community resources, and social
relationships (Health Engine in Khan,
2021).
They are manifested on the following:
1. Poor physical surroundings
- Children who came from a poor
environment are typically associated
with poor health conditions and poor
motor skills.
2. Lack of health facilities and cleanliness
- Cleanliness directly affects the entire well-
being of children.
- Absence of medical facilities and
practitioners is detrimental to our development.

Harmful or damaging
Lack of health facilities and
cleanliness may also result to
problems on their physical
and social development.
3. Lack of educational facilities

- Researches unveiled that children who

start school late develop poor social skills
than those of the other learners.
- Affects the social and mental
development of the children.
 4. Lack of community support
- This factor could mean as a lack of friends,
absence of good teachers, and deficiency of
community moral support.
- Affects the social development of the
child.
NOTE:
• Frequent change of community and school is a
common scenario when parents are forced to move
due to some work-related concerns. Children who
experience this would likely encounter difficulty in
finding social support.
• Adjustment is another factor to be considered
since not all children can easily cope with drastic
change in their social setting.
FAMILY RISK
FACTORS
Family is home.
Home is a place where children should feel
safe and secured. It is more than a concrete
object where the family stays. It is a place
where good memories must be created and
stored. However, but not all homes share
the same characteristics.
 There are home environments that
could be sources of negative relations
and stress that could increase the risk
on the child's social and emotional
competencies.
1. Work-related stress for parents
- When a child lacks parental attention, he/she
has the tendency to cultivate low self-esteem and

eating, bonding or quality time, discipline in terms of

sleep, and all related activities.
3. Lack of love and respect in the relationship at
home is a sign of negative environment. It could
affect the social and emotional development.
4. Abuse and violence influence children's emotional
regulation and self-confidence. Abused children
tend to exhibit unregulated emotions such as
anger, fear, and even shame.
WITHIN-CHIILD RISK
FACTORS
This factor defines the inner being of a child
such as emotions, personality, and behavior.
1. Fussy temparent
Temperament is defined as the
expression of various emotional
responses to the environment
and situation.
It is an offshoot of the interplay
between biological and
environment factos.

Examples are antisocial behavior and

negative emotions.
2. Development disabilities and
exceptionalities

a group of conditions because of some

impairment in physical, learning, and
language that affect behavior.

Essential Points to Remember:
Your learners' level of maturity depends on their
mental development. Do not use assessment as
punishment.
Always establish classroom rules that mirror the
society.
To build strong social and emotional competencies,
make sure to create opportunities where children
collaborate with other children.
 Establish an environment where learners are free
to express their feelings where they also feel safe.
This can also develop confidence among the
learners where they can trust themselves to
perform school tasks.

 When you have learners with disabilities and

exceptionalities, always establish a collaboration
with the family to establish a support system that
may enhance the learners' self-confidence.
In some isolated cases when a learner is
abused, teachers have to be a strong
image to him/her and must express positive
emotions that could response to their
emotional needs. They need constant
communication and emotional upliftment.
They are manifested on the following:
1. Poor physical surroundings
- Children who came from a poor environment
are typically associated with poor health
conditions and poor motor skills.
2. Lack of health facilities and cleanliness
- Cleanliness directly affects the entire well-
being of children.
- Absence of medical facilities and practitioners
is detrimental to our development.
