Community Agency Vignettes

Three-year-old Anthony and his family are behind on rent. They are facing possible

homelessness and worrying they will run out of food. Many of these challenges can be linked to

the difficulty Anthony’s mother is having in finding steady employment. A consequence of

these stressors may be seen in how Anthony’s behavior has changed at his childcare. He has

become more socially withdrawn and has begun hitting and punching other children and having

tantrums.
