Autism refers to an impairment of social interaction, both verbal and nonverbal caused by a neural disorder development (Brill, 2008). Wide research has been done on the area of autism. However, little research has covered on the knowledge and intervention for children with autism.

Implications of cultural patterns on health

Introduction
Communities have distinguishable characteristics that make them different from the rest of the society around the world. Such cultural patterns are transferred from one generation to another for a very long period of time. According to Edberg (2013), every society across the world, has unique cultural practices as well as belief. However, some beliefs and practices are rewards to some members of that community, and a punishment to the rest of the community members. Such beliefs and practices include; female genital mutilation, early marriages and some religion practices and beliefs (Edberg 2013).

Female genital mutilation is the removal of ...

Q1 Similarities and differences in expected assessment across the childhood age groups
Various similarities have been identified in the assessment of the children based on age groups.

In the late 19th century Emile Durkheim, a French sociologist, put forward an idea that society can be compared to a biological organism and coined the term “social organism”. A fitting comparison, seeing how every institution performs its own specific function, all of which are equally vital for the well-being of the organism – the economy provides and regulates the elements necessary for every individual and institution to function properly - just like the circulatory system of a mammal pumps vitae into every part of the body, the military institutions perform functions similar to those performed by the skin, law enforcement – to the ...

The short story, ‘Hills like white elephants’ utilizes heavy use literary elements to convey the theme of the story, while managing to keep the reader captivated by story trying to deduce further meaning to its conclusion.

Both Piaget’s and Vygotsky’s theories have a common field, the cognitive development in children. Cognitive development refers to the study of development in children in parts of language learning, speech, processing information plus other brain development aspects. It compares children’s cognitive psychology from the point of view of an adult. The two theories try to explain how children develop using cognitive development.

Comparing the two theories, their similarity only lies on the fact that they both explain that social interaction is the underlying factor in cognitive development in children, but then different methods and factors are ...

Two pivotal approaches to cognitive development that challenged Piaget’s widely-known theory are Vygotsky’s sociocultural approach and the information-processing perspective. In spite of the distinction between psychogenesis and epistemogenesis, Lev Vygotsky’s and Jean Piaget’s views manage to complete each other and reach a similar conclusion—knowledge is formed within a certain social context and has a specific material (Tryphon, 1996).

Piaget proposes that, during the development of human thinking, we go through stable, predictably structured sequences of stages. The consistency and stability of these stages are undoubtedly questioned by today’s standards in psychological research (Baron 1995). For ...

Attachment theories have are based on observational studies that examine the lifelong bonds that develop between children and their parents. The theory takes parents as the attachment figure, and considers the relationships that children develop during their childhood. In addition, the theory also focuses on the mental and emotional impact these particular relationships have on children once they grow up. Secure attachment on the other hand, develops when a parent or adult is sensitive towards a children's requirements, understanding fully what the child wants to communicate, and meets these requirements in an effective manner. Needless to say, the importance of secure ...

The video Eating Snakes is a great example on how adults can categorize the kind of thinking that a child has in terms of their age, knowledge, judgment, and communication abilities. The child in the video is portraying a symbolic or dramatic play that transpires during the preoperational stage, considering Jean Piaget's three stages of cognitive play. In this stage, the child is not yet able to think realistically but he is able to converse by using the proper language. He is still in the phase of having perceptual imageries based on his own intuition like eating snakes, which is very unusual ...

Three, the computers do not give the children the hands on skills that are directly relevant to the employment opportunities and jobs available. The result is that student enroll in technical institutes to learn technical skills ...

- What core social values are most challenged by legalized gay adoption?

In my opinion, the core social values that are most challenged by legalized gay adoption are that children should be adopted exclusively by heterosexual couples. In 2013, conservatives such as Rick Santorum said that adopted children would be better off being adopted by a family whose father is in prison than a gay, married couple ( Pappas, 2012). Pope Benedict used his voice for religion to say that gay couples adopting children are a threat to humanity itself (Pappas, 2012). The core values that a marriage is between a man and a woman, and, ...

Underage smoking is one of biggest challenges that the American society has to face. In an effort to curb the crime, adverts are being used to discourage the young people against smoking.

History of Children’s Literature

In the time when there were no books and not everyone could write and read, mothers and grandmothers were able only to tell their children or grandchildren stories and fairy tales. Even when people became more literate, they did not begin to write down folklore for youngsters.
It was Charles Perrault, who collected and published folk tales for children in 1697. However, speaking about folklore, people imagine more often not Charles Perrault, but the Brothers Grimm (Zipers, 2002). They are considered to be the first collectors of both folk and fairy tales. The reason for this is their ...

Role of parents in the social and emotional development of children

The availability of parents in close proximity to their children especially in the initial stages of their growth is crucial to the children’s social and emotional growth. Children have the tendency to form strong emotions on their feelings and when they are convinced of an aspect it is extremely hard to make them think otherwise. If a child grew up in an environment of abuses and mockery, it becomes hard to convince such a child of self appreciation and recognition of others. This is because they have not grown up in such environments and all they know are negative sentiments from ...

Question 1

The study is an example of a quasi-experiment; falling specifically into the pretest-posttest design. In such studies, the dependent variable is measured once before treatment implementation and once after treatment implementation ((Saylor Foundation, n.d., p. 176). In this case, the dependent variable is the weight of the obese children which is measured before the 3-month active program and after the program. The weight of the obese children is the medical/psychological problem that needs treatment. The treatment (3-month active program) might be responsible for weight reduction but this may not only be the reason as there are other factors that might ...

While every child will grow and develop and his or her unique pace, some lags in meeting the milestones of the respective stages could be red flags for developmental delays. Developmental delays in infants and young children are said to have occurred when the infant or child experiences a significant delay in showing the milestones.

In what ways is Freud's psychodynamic theory different from the perspectives on human development that preceded it?

According to Freud’s psychodynamic theory of human development, he states that a man’s body and personality could apply the laws of dynamics. According to Freud, he believes that childhood desires and fantasies are what makes up the adults neurotic behaviours. He suggested that the libido development is due to the normal childhood sexual development (Webster). The progress of the children psychosexual stages is made up of five stages, which are the oral, the latent, the phallic, the genital and the anal stage. Some of the criticism that other scholars have with this theory was that Freud concentrated more ...

An NCD or non-communicable disease is a disease that cannot be transmissible among people. It is also a disease that is non-inflectional. On the other hand, a communicable disease is a disease that is easily transmissible among people. Examples of non-communicable diseases are diabetes, asthma, cancers and heart diseases. Examples of communicable diseases include flu, Ebola, influenza, salmonella, and measles (Porche, 2004).
