A Child 's Needs

2.2 Describe with examples the importance of recognising and responding to concerns about children and young people’s development

Early identification of speech, language or communication delay is important for a child or young persons’ well-being. All practitioners have a responsibility to identify children’s needs and intervene with appropriate support as early as possible, to help children achieve the goals of ‘Every Child Matters’ and progress towards the Early Learning Goals. The importance of early language and communication skills for children’s later achievements is now well documented and the need to provide support for children at this early stage is so that they can achieve their full potential. This means recognising a child’s difficulty quickly:

The first type of issue to be discussed is the neglect that young David Pelzer endured. According to Tower-Crosson (2008), neglect may not be as traumatic as being beaten or sexually abused but because it is so difficult to detect, it could go on much longer. In “A Child Called It”, David Pelzer is constantly neglected throughout the entire book in some form or another. The two most obvious forms of neglect were the lack of clean clothes, and not being fed by his mother (Pelzer, 1995). Tower-Crosson (2008) says, “Out society holds parents responsible for giving their children adequate food, shelter,

The Child Study data I have gathered comes from the observation I have completed at Mission Bell Elementary School. Mission Bell Elementary School is a local school in Riverside. In the P.M preschool class there are 24 students, one teacher, and one assistant. The child I decided to observe is names Zoe. Zoe is 4 years and 10 months old. I immediately was drawn to Zoe because she had such a big personality, was very social, and smart. I am glad that I choose to observe Zoe because she was able to make my observation process smooth and easy. While observing her I had to pay close attention to her biosocial development, motor skills, cognitive skills, communication skills,

Parents have a significant amount of influence on how their children will act, behave and do certain things in today's world which base off of their skills. Not all parents will acquire impressive parenting skills and be able to raise their children properly in society. In a memoir called The Glass Castle, by author Jeannette Walls shares her life story and how it may be perceived as normal. In Jeannette’s life, she along with her siblings are raised by a father and a mother who raises their family in a way that society would view as unusual or problematic. Parents are the adults who have certain ways and skills on how their children are raised in which could be considered a problem, society, on the other hand, has certain views but isn’t necessarily the problem.

Give atleast 6 example for each age group in each development stage. The ages under each section are;

within this assignment I will be talking about the factors which could lead to suspicion of child maltreatment or abuse, different strategies and methods that are used in order to minimise the harm to children, young people and their families where and when the abuse is confirmed. I will also be talking about the responses where child maltreatment or abuse is suspected or confirmed relating to current legislations and policies.

“‘Your right’” Mom said “‘something has to be done’” “she bought a bucket it was made of yellow plastic and we kept it on the floor in the kitchen, and that is what we used whenever we had to go to the bathroom when it filled up, some brave soul would carry it outside, dig a hole, and empty it” (Walls, 185). Jeannette’s parents could not really provide for the children finically. They could not use the bathroom Because the stairs to go outside to the bathroom were rotted

At this stage any activities will have an impact on their intellectual development as they become aware of the different activities they do.

In this case study, it seems that Terri Kline, Tim’s teacher, feels a strong responsibility to help with his unmet needs. She keeps some towels and washcloths around for when students come to school dirty to clean up. She also provides a healthy snack. “I see the nonacademic help I give as just part of my job as a teacher.” (Kreider p.3) I personally as a teacher would do the same thing. There are many teachers though that do not see that as their job. The principle also notes how the schools are now getting more involved with more health-related task too. (Kreider p.4) I think that in the end it is the parents and family’s responsibility to help their child needs, but when the family cannot, it is nice to have the school be a supportive place.

     Child Psychology, study of children’s behavior-including physical, cognitive, motor, linguistic, perceptual, social, and emotional characteristics-from birth through adolescence. Child psychologists attempt to explain the similarities and differences among children and to describe normal as well as abnormal behavior and development. They also develop methods of treating social, emotional, and learning problems and provide therapy privately and in schools, hospitals, and other institutions.
