Eric, this type of situation is very overwhelming when taking care of an elder person. Setting up priorities in term of care is very important. Taking care of three kids is not a joke, at times; if care is not taking the individual will break down physical and psychologically, and if that happened, no one will be able to take care of each other. That is the reason why the nurse needs to do a comprehensive assessment in order to know the extent of relationship of the family. The role of Susie needs to be known as well as the role of the three kids. When the nurse does a thorough assessment of the family, the needs and care for the elderly mother will be able to plan for in such a way that will not affect Susie and the three kids. At the initial
to help us achieve a high level of care for every child and to ensure we are meeting their needs. The pastoral carers are responsible for monitoring the children within their groups and recording events, behaviour and development. Twice a year the pastoral carers are required to transfer this knowledge from note-taking, observations, record books, assessments of the children they care for, onto ‘progress reports’ for the parents to receive.
Depending on the patient's level of self-care, the nurse must work with the family to enhance such self-care. The family may view an elderly, disabled, or otherwise incapacitated patient as a child and unable to adequately perform tasks of self-care. According to Orem,
“It all started in 1991 with a young girl in a yellow dress. She looked a bit sad, a bit lonely, a bit out of place. As Chief of Police Bill Hegarty walked through the Grand Rapids Police Department that day, the little girl caught his eye. And as he looked at her, he saw that she simply looked out of place. He saw that she looked scared” (Children’s Assessment Center, n.d.). About twenty years ago the Children’s Assessment Center of Grand Rapids opened their doors with the intention to reduce the amount of trauma children endured in the case of sexual assault. The Children’s Assessment Center is a place where children can be interviewed without being scared and can receive the treatment they need to heal from their abuse. “Traditionally, child forensic interviews have taken place in police departments, schools, and CPS offices. Such settings may be intimidating for children and could increase children 's beliefs that they are in trouble or have done something wrong” (Tavkar, 2007).

During Ms. Robin absence the first week I was in the 3 year old’s, then the next following week I was in the 2 year old’s. The most important thing to me is getting to know each child and seeing how each one is because all children are different. With the 3 year old’s it’s easier to understand because they talk better than the two’s in they are getting out of the baby faze. You may see some of the 3’s acting like babies but you just have to work with them to get them out of that faze. Once they see the other students acting older they start to act older when they get used to it.
“The goals are to maximize an individual’s functional independence and quality of the life through development and learning improvements in social skills and communications, reductions in disability and comorbidity promotion of independence, and provision of support to families”(Lai, 2014). We are looking for the child’s weaknesses and strengths. What behaviors need to be targeted and how the change will come. William or Will for short refuses to comply with staff. When asked to stop talking or to finish his work and get in trouble with other students. Monthly behavior incidents average about 10 per month.
The first step a nurse should take in helping this family is offering education and community resources that would be beneficial during this time. Facilitate good interpersonal relationships among family members. Monitor the safety of the patient at home and make referral for social activity, nutritional programs, homemakers’ services, and nursing home as needed. Monitor of exercise, nutrition, preventive services, and medications.
Unfortunately, there are sick children around the world, and some of them have unhealable diseases - with designer babies it is possible for parents to con-ceive a second child, who is healthy and the child is might able to cure its sick sibling. Is it wrong to create a second baby to remedy a sick child? Jonathan Moreno, a bio medical ethicist at the University of Virginia says, that it does not raise a big prob-lem for him since children creat-ed with the purpose of helping its sibling gets the same amount of love as the first born. Moreno points out, that we hopefully will be able to use our own cells and tissues to cure ourselves in the future, so these ethical ques-tions do not have to be raised again.

The child I observed was a seven-year-old girl in Year 2 who sat on the second highest ability table in a mixed class. While not in school, she lived a substantial distance away meaning she travelled to and from school by car and was often the first child to arrive in the morning and the last to leave in the afternoon. I will focus on the social and emotional development of this child who, from now onwards, will be referred to as C.
The three parent child observations that have been documented will be analyzed using knowledge from class material and with peer-reviewed articles. Support will be given to show the connection between the articles, the class material, and to each observation. Each observation took place in a different location and each supporting article discusses how the actions of the parent and child relate to different aspects of a parent child relationship.
