I admitted a baby girl in the NICU weighing 1lb 7oz with esophageal atresia I also met the parents the same day of admission to orient them to the unit, the equipment, and to address any concerns regarding visiting time. This baby was in the unit for few months I frequently cared for her and the family. On this Sunday morning, the mother asked me “Do you go to church” I replied her with the name of the church also told her I volunteer at church as an usher on my off Sundays. When parents confirmed
I am reaching out in hopes to gain assistance in providing necessary transportation for my special needs son, Riley Wright. We are currently in need of a conversion vehicle in order to safely transport Riley and his wheelchair. I submit our story as humbly as I know how, in hopes to be able to raise enough funds to achieve our goal. In October 2009, I was diagnosed with Prolactinoma and was told that the treatment would cause infertility. On September 4th 2011 after working out, I went for a shower
form about age 2 – 7. Mental tasks in this stage are usually simpler than that of an older child, for example the concept of size or weight is not understood without physical representation of the concept. Thoughts of a child are often egocentric in this stage. The third stage of Piaget’s cognitive theory is the concrete operational stage, occurring from about age 7 – 11. During the operational stage, the child attaches concepts to concrete situations, such as the concepts of time or space, although
During my time at the Child Development Lab I was placed in the infant room. Multiple things caught my eye during my observation. As my last observation reflection stated, the main thing I observed was: children are strange creatures. One thing I thought was quite interesting was the fact that I did observe all three domains. I saw each multiple times, and in multiple different situations. The first domain I observed was physical. When I was escorted into the infant room it was empty. I was a little

were related to driver license and child parenting issues. Most of driver licence issues only took around less than 5 minutes because they were arranged for the next court session with documents required. However, when it came to child parenting, it took longer time. There was an application related to child parenting. A father walked into courtroom with his son and the mother was with a lawyer.
For this paper, I interviewed my father, Terry Joe Burk. I decided to interview him because he has been there my whole life and has been able to see how I have developed and changed over the years. He was able to answer all of my questions and give me many examples of how my development compares to my siblings and to his own. He was also able to give me many examples about my life that I would not have had without this interview. I conducted the interview in person over Thanksgiving break so that
On October 21, 2017, I was able to observe Claire Marcus for my Life-Span Development class. This observation allowed me observe the physical and cognitive changes children experience. It was performed at the Marcus household in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. This observation was consented by Claire’s mother. Claire Marcus is a seven year-old, female. She enjoys playing sports, having play dates with her friends, and excelling in school. At age seven, children are going through large stages of development
stared with the first question of how child is feeling today, to get a sense of how the child’s day at school was, what kind of mood the child may be in, and to get an idea if there are any things that I need to be aware of, that may affect the child during the evaluation. School may be draining or a challenge for him, and I want to get a sense of how he is handling it. The next question I asked was about the birth, because in about 50% of cases of CP, the child was born premature and may have premature
The development of children is rather universal occurring in similar stages among cultures. I observed three and four-year-old in the green room at the Children’s Center at the University of Wisconsin Platteville. Generally, these are the professor’s children that spend the day there while they are teaching classes. Multiple concepts that we discussed in class were expressed while observing the children. The diversity of development of the group rather surprising. For three and four-year-olds, the
