Consequences of Stress in Child Development

Britain has the highest crime rate in  Europe and it is worst then the United States and South Africa States then South Africa. Many techniques that were used to solve the crime issue failed.But criminologists say crime figures can be affected by many factors, including different criminal justice systems and differences in how crime is reported and measured. Experts say there are a number of reasons why violence is soaring in the UK. These include Labour's decision to relax the licensing laws to allow round-the-clock opening, which has led to a rise in the number of serious assaults taking place in the early hours of the morning.  Mr. Johnson , Home Secrectary wants to set up a website to allow the public to see what is taking place in their neighbourhood, such as the number of louts who have been served with Asbos.
Mr Johnson is also known to support early intervention to stop children going off the rails.

Consequences of Stress on Children’s Development

I  know a lady that has four children and recently got married. The children deal with a lot of domestic violence because of lack of attention and jealousy on his part. The children are not his and he want all the attention on him. He insists that she have a baby for him that he can say is his and not another man's child. The children are present when these actions are taken place. Many days at school, the teachers deal with behavioral outburst from the siblings and constant anger. The children usually fight their friends for no apparent reason. It has gotten worst when two of the siblings began hitting and spitting at the teachers. The parent attempt to handle the situation by adding more high tone voice commands and stating what she's going to do to them when they get home. The teachers had major conferences with the parents but got no where and no support from the administration. She wanted some type of assistance but I think she didn't want to ask for help because she felt shame or embarrass.  Some times we as educators need to evaluate a situation and attempt to find some solution for the problem. Then again, a person have to want the help in order to receive it.

Child Development And Personal Health

Access to healthy water is important to me because that is one of the major resources that helps keep us alive. If we don't have healthy water then we can become ill let alone the way we obtain our food. It has to be clean. If the water isn't clean It could affect our health. In other countries such as in Senegal,  Poor sanitation, water and hygiene have many other serious repercussions.Inadequate access to safe water and sanitation services, coupled with poor hygiene practices, kills and sickens thousands of children every day, and leads to impoverishment and diminished opportunities for thousands more.Children – and particularly girls – are denied their right to education because  their schools lack private and decent sanitation facilities. Women are forced to spend large parts of their day fetching water.farmers and wage earners are less productive due to illness, health systems are overwhelmed and national economies suffer. UNICEF works in more than 90 countries around the world to improve water supplies and sanitation facilities in schools and communities, and to promote safe hygiene practices.  After learning about this issue. I'm thinking that we should be more appreciative of the water supply that we have and also attempting to maintain finding healthier ways to provide safe water for the future. I would like to find strategies or a present a major project on finding ways to provide safe water for our future leaders.

Birthing Experiences in Japan

In Japan if you decide you want to breast feed your baby you are only allowed to feed them 5min on each breast.  Skin to skin time is limited with you and your child. That means you as well as the child are fully clothed. Breast feeding is different. Each have different methods of what is the right way to breast feed the baby. You have nurses and midwives. Some clinics may not have restrooms in the room and you would have to walk if you have to use the restroom right after labor. Some clinics prepare fancy foods such as french or other types of  cuisines. Some nurses may not be as helpful or patient with you during or after labor. Babies are put in hot water to be bathed. What I gather from this insight that people are different and what we think is wrong for someone else  may just be what we want because we're comfortable and probably set in our comfort zone.  I feel that the nurse I had was very caring whereas with this person  the nurse she had was not. It's hard getting use to new cultures and their way of development as well as it is for them getting use to ours. That is why it is important to understand the different development each child deals with on a daily basis. Going in a classroom dealing with all those different behaviors and their way of thinking is a big step and as educators it is a serious challenge and finding a strategy that works for your class is a major goal.

My Birthing Experience

My birthing experience was very calm but sort of agitating. Of course, I had meds in my system. Lol. I had a nurse that was there to guide me through any uncomfortable feelings I may have had.  My sister read to him also we talked about what we were going to do once he was delivered and what the next step was.  I had a normal birth, but  they had to burst the water bag because he just wouldn't come on his own. Lazy:) I constantly walked around the mall but still he wouldn't just wouldnt move.  I only dialated 4 centimeters. It took 16 hours before he came. I was well surrounded by nurses that took very good care of me and including my doctor who always made me laugh and felt at ease. At the end, the doctor told me I didn't have to push anymore (Shorn's head was right at the tip) I told the doctor, "No, I got to. I feel like I have to go to the restroom. "LOL. I kept pushing and all I heard was a "Ploop". And there he was 6lbs. and 10 oz.  I thought he was so cute and he already had an attitude. He acted  as though we woke him out of his sleep. LOL. It was a great experience that I probably Will Not do again. :) I chose this experience because it doesn't matter wether or not you are a single parent or a two parent family, It 's what you as a parent want to enstill in your child. You can repeat yourself all day long. It's up to that child wether or not he's going follow your guidance or learn about growing up somewhere else. At some point when they get older they may come back to you and "you were right". It's up to you to be there for them when they fall as your parents or parent were there for you.
