 This chart shows the awful cycle that occurs when children are born into a low income family. The cycle starts off with the child living in poverty and having to deal with adverse living situations. Those situations will typically trigger social, emotional, and cognitive problems, which will lead to getting behind in their education. For example, having to take special reading classes to attempt to catch up to the rest of their classmates. Then, because of that, risk behaviors come into play. Behaviors such as drinking, smoking, and adopting other unhealthy habits. Due to those unhealthy habits, things such as disease, disabilities, and social problems begin to generate. All of that leading to an early death.
