It is very easy to waffle on about the effects different situations may have on a child.

Try not to think too deep about the possible outcomes but go down your list and explain what the effect may be on the childs development both physically and emotionally, i could go on for pages but try to think the obvious outcomes and also research if you have a child development handbook.... hope you get on alright...
