Child Wellbeing

When looking at children and young people’s development it is important to recognise and respond to concerns to ensure that the child or young person receives the help and assistance needed.

1. – Describe how social, economical and cultural factors can impact on the outcomes and life chances of children and young people.

Good nurturing will be bring me a positive relationship from the children. From the infants video, the RECE is helping the babies attention to make the sound from the sparkling paper. Also, another RECE is playing with a child in the sandbox telling the child when she pours the sand from a cup it’s looks like rain. She gave an idea to the child this is like a real rain. Another RECE is sing a nursery rhyme with hand action holding a baby from her lap. Sing and action will help the child emotional development. action Finally, other RECE is telling the names of the fruits and vegetables when she turns on the page.

This assignment will discuss and critically analyse maternal welfare, observing the effects of alcohol on the growing fetus. Firstly, the issue will be to identify ways in which consumption of alcohol affects pre and postnatal conception. Barnes and Bradley (1990) assert consumption of alcohol during pregnancy may have serious consequences for the fetus. Furthermore, the importance of current health initiatives relating to fetal alcohol syndrome will be addressed, including preventable measures. In addition, throughout the assignment, one will abbreviate Fetal Alcohol Syndrome/Effects to FAS/E

What is the marker of well-being? How does someone know if his or her well-being is where it should be? Most adults would have a hard time answering this question; the idea of well-being is so ambiguous, so subjective, that it is hard to give it a single definition. What is known about well-being is that it is made up of a variety of factors; it is made up of social, psychological and physical aspects, all of which interact to form someone’s level of wellness. However, if adults cannot fully grasp this concept, how could it be expected of children? After the parents, early childhood educators are arguably the most influential adults in a child’s life. Therefore it is imperative that educators be as up to date as possible on new practices

Healthy child development is very important in a child’s life. The emotional, psychological, development and social development of anybody begins during childhood. How they are brought up, the society and the environment is not healthy. Food is expensive therefore it becomes nearly impossible to eat healthy. There are no such things as fruits and vegetables or organic products because of the prices. Many teachers are untrained and the curriculum is not current, therefore the level of education is very low and a lot of children don’t finish high school. Children do not learn all the essential tools they will need for the rest of their lives when they leave the community. The skills children need to learn, to survive, to provide emotional support and psychological support are not achieved.

Biology does not make someone a mother, it is their ability to provide a loving and caring environment. For those people unable to have their own children, many turn to adoption. Five million people living in the United States today were adopted as children and 2.4% of American families have adopted children. Additionally, “Twenty five to forty percent of people say they have considered adoption themselves”(Brown 1). Even with this interest in adoption, it is estimated that 408,425 children are in foster care in the United States. In fact, statistics show that a child can live in twenty foster care homes before they are permanently adopted and “More than 60% of children in foster care spend two to five years in the system before being adopted” (Brown 1). Although there is clear interest in adoption, the number of children available for adoption and not getting adopted indicates the process is not simple. Barriers to adoption still exists that have nothing to do with a person 's ability to provide a loving and caring environment. Sexual preference, race, income, religion, and relationship status affect individuals chances to adopt.

Infants and children are at a high risk of caries due to improper oral care and the lack of oral hygiene education of parents. Nearly 60 percent of children under the age of 5 will have tooth decay.In order to help this particular population education is key. Mothers with poor oral health will lead to poor oral health of children. According the National Institute of Health children ages 2 to 11 years of age have an average of1.6 decayed teeth and 3.6 decayed primary surfaces. There has been an active increase of caries in the past ten years in the primary dentition of children ages 2 through 11 years old. Resulting in 42% of children in the US having active decay in their primary teeth. People of ethnic backgrounds and lower

Many diseases have been discovered, studied, and are diagnosed to many individuals of different ages today. Of all individuals premature babies are prime to acquiring diseases, as their immune system has not reached full term. Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) derives from a European literature that help define the disease as, “necrotizing” meaning death of tissues, “entero” referring to the small intestines, “colo” is the large intestine, and “itis” meaning inflammation.8 Necrotizing enterocolitis is the most common and devastating disease in neonates. It is a gastrointestinal disease that affects distant organs such as the brain and places affected infants at substantially increased risk for neurodevelopmental delays.3, 8 The

Having positive relationships can be essential to a child’s development and overall happiness. Turnbull states, “Connections are crucial to quality of life. Students and families need to connect with each other, educators, and friends in the community” (p.5). Having classroom events would play a huge part in how I could get the Geisman family to connect with others in the community. I would also try to emphasize in my classroom the similarities we all have, rather than our differences. For example, we may talk about siblings one day and Mike would speak about his two sisters and younger brother. Other students could relate and they could begin a discussion off that topic. Simple things like that can help others connect to one another.

What are the most significant aspects of children’s development and experiences that contribute to their longer-term well-being?

The journal article titled, Children and Their Basic Needs, reveals some of the difficulties facing children raised in impoverishment and particularly long-term poverty. Authors, Debra Prince, and Esther Howard reflect on the personalities of impoverished children, while presenting—to the reader—a look at how these children’s behaviors identify with psychologist Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and the obstructions preventing these children from obtaining those basic needs. This article will demonstrate how Maslow’s theory serves as the axis for each layer of the developmental process while “[highlighting] the obstacles presented by poverty in the attainment of basic needs” (28). In this paper I will recapitulate each of Maslow’s five

Children develop rapidly during their first years of life, and these years are a critical part in their development as this is when the foundation for future development is laid (National Down Syndrome Society, 2012). This project provided the mothers of San Carlos, Belize with information regarding developmental benchmarks to help detect developmental delays and provide early intervention when needed. This project also provided teacher training, and student access to E-readers in the village of Rancho Dolores. By helping to provide Rancho Dolores with e-readers, we aim to improve education by providing access to educational materials that may not otherwise be available in these remote areas.

The text starts with a story about a little girl whose very basic need to use the restroom gets overlooked by her preoccupied parents. The parents are wrapped up in their own conversation and concerns, with no regard for their daughter. While this seems an extreme example of parents’ neglect of a child’s basic needs to many parents, it sadly is more common than it ought to be.

When reflected back upon my internship and all the different activities that encompass the ELCC standards, I was amazed how most assignments can be related to school improvement. I can consider that I believe the class was school and community relations my topic research was Response to Intervention. (RTI) In my current district the graduation rate is around 86% compared to the State of Arkansas at 80% and national average in the mid 70’s.
