Unit 5: Parent-Child Relationships

Question 2 • FL-8500300-Parenting Skills (IS) - Flex

What is one TRUE statement about poverty and children?

Answer
A
Poverty has no overall effect on a child’s well-being.
B
In the United States, about 1 in 100 children live in poverty.
C
Children in poverty have a low risk of developing educational problems.
D
Most children experiencing poverty have parents who work.

Explanation

Many families with children experience poverty even though a parent is working, because low wages or limited work hours may not provide enough income. Poverty can affect children’s health, well-being, and education, so A and C are false. B is also false: the share of children in poverty in the United States is far greater than 1 in 100.
