Cognitive Development

-Infants sensory capabilities, neuromuscular control, perceptual skills all affect how their cognitive processes unfold infancy and throughout life -Variables such as the quality and quantity of parental interaction and environmental stimulation contribute to cognitive development -Cognitive development during the first two years of life begin with egocentrism -Egocentrism is a child's complete self absorption in the in ability to view the world from anyone else's vantage point (Padgett) -Invanz cognitive Capacities expand, become increasingly aware of the outside world and there separateness from it -With maturation and experience they become capable Of differentiating themselves from others and their surroundings -According to Padgett's theory cognitive development occurs in stages of periods as described in the following discussion -Infancy is included in the sensorimotor stage from birth to two years, During which infants experience the world through their senses and their attempts to control the environment -Learning activities progress from simple reflex behavior to trial and error Experiments -During the first month of life infants are in the first substage, reflex activity, of the sensory motor period. Behavior such as grasping, sucking, licking is dominated by reflexes. Paget Believe that infants organize their activity survive and adapt to the world by the use of reflexes -Primary circular reactions dominate the second substage occurring from age 1 to 4 months -Reflexes become more organized and new schemata are AcquiredUsually entering on the infants body -Sensual activities such as sucking and kicking become less reflexive and more controlled and I repeat it because of stimulation they provide. Also begins to recognize objects especially those that bring pleasure such as breast or bottle -Third substage or stage of secondary circular reaction's, perform actions that are more oriented toward the world outside their own bodies -4-8 month old Infant in this stage begins to play with objects in the external environment such as a rattle or stuffed toy -Actions are labeled secondary because they are intentional (Repeated because of the response that is elicited) -Example, a baby in this upstage intentionally shakes a rattle to hear the sound -8 to 12 months infants in the fourth substage (Coordination of secondary schemata) Begin to related objects as if they realize that the object exist even when they are out of sight -This awareness referred to as object permanence illustrated by a nine month old infant seeking a toy after it's hidden under a pillow -Six months can follow the path of the toy that is dropped in front of them but will not look for the job toy or protestants disappearance until they are older and have developed the concept of object permanence -Fourth stage, solves problems differently from how they solve problems in earlier so stages -They choose actions that were successful in the past -They remember and can perform some mental processing -Seem to be able to identify simple casual relationships and they show definite intentionality -One 811 month old child sees a toy that is beyond reach the child uses a blanket that is resting on to pull it closer -Cognitive development in the infant parallels motor development -More activity is necessary for cognitive development in cognitive development is based on interaction with the environment -Infant cognitive development lays the foundation for later cognitive function -Nurses promote infants cognitive development by encouraging parents to interact with their infants into your provide them with normal interesting simuli -Parents should maintain familiar routine experiences through them which their infants can develop a sense of security about the world -Infants will thrive and learn

Cognitive and sensory development in the toddler and preschooler

Cognitive and sensory development in the toddler and preschooler -Toddler> -Consumed with curiosity -Boundless energy provide them with resources for the tremendous cognitive growth that occurs during this phase -12 and 18 months are in Paige's sensory-motor Phase -Spend their day experimenting to see what will happen as They dump feel empty and explore every accessible area of their environment -19-24 months the child enters a final stage of sensory-motor Phase -Object permanence established by this age -Has the ability to use symbols in words when referring to absent people or objects in science to solve problems mentally rather than by repeating in action over and over -I've been seeing imitating the parent of the same sex performing household task termed domestic Mimi cry -Play in this stage child displays deferred imitation which is imitating the parent putting on make up or shaving after the parent has left for work -18 month old can wait as evidence by appropriate response of the taller to a parent who says just a minute -Connors think in terms of predictable routines of their daily schedule -When talking with the toddler the nurse should use time orientation in relation too familiar activities -Toddler understands your mother will be here after your nap better than your mother will be here at 2 o'clock -Enjoy opening drawers and doors and exploring the contents of cabinets and closets and generally wreck havoc throughout the house as well as exposing themselves to potential danger -Piaget, Preoperational stage of cognitive development characterizes second half of early childhood -Stage is divided into two phases the preconceptual phase 2 for years long and intuitive phase 4 to 7 years long -During preconceptual Fais child begins to use symbolic thought which is the ability to allow a mental image to represent objects or ideas -Mental symbols allow try to remember the pass and explain events that happened in the past -24 months they enter the preconceptual phase which ends at four years and during this phase they begin to think and reason at a primitive level -Two years old have a beginning ability to retain mental images -Allows them to internalize what they see and experience -Symbols in form of war can be used to represent ideas -Increasing amounts of playtime or spent pretending -A box may become a spaceship or a hat or pebbles maybe money or popcorn -Turn on properly grows vocabulary Symbolic play -Begin to think about alternative solutions to a problem and can't even consider the consequences of an action without caring it out such as touching a hot stove or running too fast on a slippery sidewalk -They're thinking is immature and limited and it's logic -Egocentrism animism irreversibility magical thinking and centration characterize preoperational thought of the toddler Preschooler> -By age 3 maturation of central nervous system contributes to the child's increasing cognitive abilities -Can retain a mental image of a loved one and can periodically think about that person -A picture can help children cool with separation by bridging the gap between the physical and mental image -Preschoolers ability to remember their parents and recognize their needs can be met even though your parents are not present enhances their ability to tolerate separation -Preschooler still engaged in animism And often endow innominate objects with life my qualities during play -A door may become a crying baby or a teddy bear may become a friend who listens x-Symbolic play important for emotional development because it allows the child to work through distressing feelings -Allowing your child to play with medical equipment after a painful procedure can be therapeutic -Orioles who have received injections may be found working out their feelings by giving their dolls lots of shots -During pre-conceptual face reality may be distorted by transductive reasoning -Preschool child reasons for in particular to particular rather than from particular to General and vice versa -Child can't understand that relationships exist and cannot be in the hole with respect to its parts -Preschool child has difficulty in focusing on the important aspects of a situation -Field dependency, Where a child thinks everything is important and inter-dependent -The preschooler may have difficulty falling asleep at night because the parent did not follow through usual bedtime routine -Objects routine and sameness are important for the preschool child -Second phase of Piaget's Preoperational stage the intuitive Phase, The tendency to center or focus on one part of the situation and ignore the other parts -The second phase of PIagets Preoperational stage the intuitive phase is characterized by Centration and like Of reversibility -Centration is a tendency to center or focus on one part of a situation and ignore the other parts -The child cannot understand logical relationships and is unable to focus on more than one aspect of a situation at a time -Child may not be able to follow in sequence of directions but will perform well if the directions are given one at a time -45-year-old shows irreversibility In thought -Cannot reverse a process or the order of event -Able to take a complex puzzle The part but have difficulty putting it back together -45-year-old also likes reversibility for mathematical processes -Can add three and one and get IV but reversing The problem would be too difficult -Period of rapid learning -Curious and wants to know how things work -Thinking is so magical and egocentric which focused on the self -Understand events only as these events affect them believing that everyone else has had the same experience -See my mom and distress may bring her a doll or assuming that it would come for the mother as it does the child -Believe that their thoughts are powerful enough to cause things to happen -Frighten them selves with some other ideas believing that they may become what they imagine they will be -Feel overwhelmed by cute when I sibling is hospitalized because they believe that their hostile feelings cause the siblings illness -Child might say I got sick because I was bad

Cognitive development

Cognitive development -Transitions to logical thinking from intuitive thinking of preschool years -Develops more efficient problem-solving ability and greater flexibility of thinking -Six and seven-year-olds remain in the intuitive thought stage (Piaget )Characteristic of older preschool children -IH8 years child moves into the stage of concrete operations followed by stage of formal operations at 12 years (Piaget) Intuitive thought stage> -6-7 years, thinking is based on immediate perceptions of the environment in the child's own viewpoint -Thanking still characterized by egocentrism, animism, In centration -Children cannot understand another's viewpoint form hypotheses or deal with abstract concepts -Child in the intuitive thought stage has difficulty forming categories and often solves problems by random guessing Concrete operational stage> -7-8 years enter stage of concrete operations -Learn that their point of you is not the only one and begin to differentiate their own viewpoints from those of peers and adults (Piaget) -Enables children to think more flexibly and to learn about the environment more accurately - Problem-solving becomes more efficient and reliable as a child learns how to form hypotheses -The symbolism becomes more sophisticated and children can manipulate symbols for things in the way They once manipulated things -Learns the alphabet and how to read -Attention span increases as they grow older facilitating classroom learning Reversibility> -In concrete operations -Can mentally retrace a process a skill needed for understanding math problems -Can take a toy apart and put it back together or walk to school and find a way back home without getting lost -Valuable tool for problem-solving -Can understand use of Clock time at eight years Conservation> -Learns that certain properties of objects do not change simply because their order form or appearance has changed -Example the child who has mastered conservation of mass recognizes that a lump of clay that has been pounded flight is still same amount of clay as when it is rolled into a ball -Can understand conservation of weight by answering the question which weighs more a pound of feathers or a pound of rocks -Simpler conservations like number in a mass or understood first -9 to 10 years understand weight -11 to 12 years understand volume Classification and logic> -Classify objects according to characteristics they share, to place things in a logical order, and to recall similarities and differences -Ability is reflected in school a child's interest in collections -They love to collect and classify stamps stickers cards -Your stand relationship of larger and smaller lighter and darker -Comprehend class inclusion the concept that objects belong to or than one classification for example a man can be your brother a father and his son at the same time -Move away from magical thinking they are skeptic and no longer believing in Santa Claus or the Easter bunny -Humor> -Increase mastery of language and beginning of logic enable children to appreciate a play on words -They laugh at incongruities and love silly jokes riddles and puns -Riddle and joke books make ideal gifts for young children - They use it as a positive coping mechanism for stress associated with painful procedures and life events

Discipline

Discipline -When it is used in a positive manner the child internalizes controls established by parental limits and begin to develop a conscience -Toddlers need and want discipline to feel secure -Have a little control over their behavior I need limits to learn how to behave and how to follow rules -Toddlers negativism intense emotions and curiosity put them at risk for injury -Usually unaware of consequences of their actions -Frightened by a lack of limits and will deliberately test their parents until they are showing how far they can go -From discipline promotes the development of Autonomy by giving a child a feeling of freedom within bounds -Toddlers repeat parental provisions to themselves while engaging in a forbidden activity -A toddler may walk over to an electrical outlet knowing that it is out of bounds and mumble no no hurt -Effective discipline techniques for children of this age include allowing natural and logical consequences, positive reinforcement for acceptable behavior and Diversion and time out -Teaching parents how to discipline their child helps avoid problems related to incorrect use of discipline -Parents must be consistent -Physical punishment such as spanking as one of the least effective discipline techniques and is discouraged -Preschoolers struggle to gain control over their strong inner impulses -To achieve this control they need limits set on their behavior -When limits are set child feels more secure and can explore the environment and try new rules in an atmosphere of freedom and safety -Limit setting helps child learn self confidence self control and in moral values -Child must be consistent discipline -Limits must be clearly defined in consistently enforced to be effective -To prevent confusion and anxiety the consequences of miss behaviors should be spelled out in advance and carried out immediately after miss behavior occurs -When a child is disciplined for misbehavior a simple truth full explanation of why the behavior was unacceptable should be given -Focus of the explanation should be on the behavior rather than on the child for example throwing toys could hurt someone is a better response than I don't want to be around you when you act like that or you're a bad girl for doing that -Time out, time in such as the mother periodically strokes the child's hair or rubbed his back when he is quietly playing on the floor near her while she talks on the telephone. The child who receive this type of reinforcement is likely to continue what he's doing and much less likely to interrupt the mother, Offer restricted choices he made drink your juice in the kitchen or you may go into the living room without your juice, diversion you must stop marking on the wall with crayons here mark on -this paper instead -Consistent positive reinforcement for desired behavior is a powerful tool -As a parent does not care or is too busy to enforce rules child will not internalize rules and will not feel guilty about breaking them

Ericksons psychosocial theory

Erikson's Psychosocial Theory Erik H. Erikson (1902-1994), inspired by the work of Sigmund Freud, proposed a popular theory about child development. He viewed development as a lifelong series of conflicts affected by social and cultural factors. Each conflict must be resolved for the child and adult to progress emotionally. How individuals address the conflicts varies widely. However, according to Erikson, unsuccessful resolution leaves the individual emotionally disabled (Erikson, 1963). Each of eight stages of development has a specific central conflict or developmental task. These eight tasks are described in terms of a positive or negative resolution. The actual resolution of a specific conflict lies somewhere along a continuum between a perfect positive and a perfect negative. Erikson (1963) describes the first developmental task as the establishment of trust. The basic quality of trust provides a foundation for the personality. If an infant's physical and emotional needs are met in a timely manner through warm and nurturing interactions with a consistent caregiver, the infant begins to sense that the world is trustworthy. The infant begins to develop trust in others and a sense of being worthy of love. Through successful achievement of a sense of trust, the infant can move on to subsequent developmental stages. Erikson suggests that the unsuccessful resolution of this first developmental task results in a sense of mistrust. If needs are consistently unmet, acute tension begins to appear in children. During infancy, signs of unmet needs include restlessness, fretfulness, whining, crying, clinging, physical tenseness, and physical dysfunctions such as vomiting, diarrhea, and sleep disturbances. All children exhibit these signs at times. However, if these behaviors become personality characteristics, the unsuccessful resolution of this stage is suspected. The toddler's developmental task is to acquire a sense of autonomy rather than a sense of shame and doubt. A positive resolution of this task is accomplished by the ability to control the body and body functions, especially elimination. Success at this stage does not mean that the toddler, even as an adult, will exhibit autonomous behavior in all life situations. In certain circumstances, feelings of shame and self-doubt are normal and may be adaptive. Erikson's theory describes each developmental stage, with crises related to individual stages emerging at specific times and in a particular order. Likewise, each stage is built on the resolution of previous developmental tasks. However, during each conflict, the child spends some energy and time resolving earlier conflicts (Erikson, 1963). Nursing Implications of Erikson's Theory In stressful situations, such as hospitalization, children, even those with healthy personalities, evoke defense mechanisms that protect them against undue anxiety. Regression, a behavior used frequently by children, is a reactivation of behavior more appropriate to an earlier stage of development. This defense mechanism is illustrated by a 6-year-old boy who reverts to sucking his thumb and wetting his pants under increased stress, such as illness or the birth of a sibling. Nurses can educate parents about regression and encourage them to offer their children support, not ridicule. They can provide constructive suggestions for stress management and reassure parents that regression normally subsides as anxiety decreases. Erikson's main contribution to the study of human development lies in his outline of a universal sequence of phases of psychosocial development. His work is especially relevant to nursing because it provides a theoretic basis for much of the emotional care that is given to children. The stages are further discussed in the chapters on each age-group.

Motor development

Motor development -During first few months after birth muscle growth and weight gain allow for increased control reflexes in more purposeful movement -One month movement occurs in a random fashion with the first tightly clenched -The neck muscle is weak and then head is large infants can lift their hands briefly -2 to 3 months and Vince can lift in at 90° From a prone position and can hold it steadily erect while in sitting position -Active grass been gradually replaces Reflexive grasping and increases in frequency as I hand coordination improves -Moral tonic neck and rooting reflex is disappear at 3 to 4 months -Primitive reflexes which are controlled by the midbrain disappear because they are suppressed by growing Cortical layers -Head control increases during third month -Fourth month head remains in a straight line with the body when the infant is pulled to a sitting position -Invented play with her feet by 4 to 5 months drawing them up to suck on their toes -Parents need anticipatory guidance about ways to prevent unintentional injury by baby proofing their homes before each motor development milestones reached -The nurse might explain infants grow and mature and very rapidly now is the time to baby proof the home before Marie turns over begins crawling in reaching for objects are doing this now you can prevent later injuries and worries -Put in six months motor development accelerates rapidly -Events of this age readily reach for and grasp objects -They can bear weight when held in a standing position in can turn from abdomen to back -By five months some infants rock back-and-forth as a precursor to crawling -6 months can sit alone leaning forward on their hands a.k.a. tripod sitting , this ability provides them with a wider view of the world and creates new ways to play - Infants of this age can roll from back to abdomen and can raise their hands from the table when supine -6 to 7 months transfer objects from one hand to the other and can grab small objects with the whole hand and insert them into their mouth with lightning speed -6 to 9 months infants begin to explore the world by crawling -Nine months most infants have enough muscle strength and coordination to pull themselves up and cruise around furniture these methods of mobility enable the infant to follow a parent or caregiver around the house -6 to 7 months infants become increasingly adept at pointing to make their demands known -Six month old infant grasp objects with all their fingers in a raking motion the nine month old he is or thumbs and four fingers fine motor skill called the pincer grasp, Provides infants with a useful yet potentially dangerous ability to grab insert tiny objects into their mouth's -Nine months can wave bye-bye and clap their hands together, can you pick up objects but I have difficulty releasing them on request -One year we can extend an object and release it into an offered hand moleskin balance well enough to walk when holding another person's hand but often resort to crawling as a more rapid and efficient way to move about -Increased ability to move about which objects and explore the world places in pins at great risk for accidents and injuries

Motor development in the toddler and preschooler

Motor development in the toddler and preschooler Toddler> -Learning to walk is the achievement of the toddler Phase -Child is in perpetual motion, seemingly compelled to pull up do you few steps for and repeat the process over and over obvious to bumps and bruises -Will repeat this performance hundreds of times until the skill of walking has been perfected -Most can walk alone by 15 months -By 18 months can walk well and try to run but fall often -At 15 months many become avid climbers - Chairs tables and bookcases present challenges and risk for injury -Parents have difficulty keeping toddler in a crib and decide to move them to a regular bed -Engage and perfecting fine motor skills -Hand I coordination improves with maturity and practice -Meal times are still messy -Most 18 month olds can hold a cup with both hands and drink from it without spilling but eating with a spoon is difficult -Most of the food conveyed in a spoon is spilled -Children a great deal of practice with a spoon before they can feed themselves without spilling -Both can feed by themselves with a spoon by their second birthday -At 18 months toddler enjoys removing clothing -By 24 months they can put on simple items of clothing but cannot differentiate friend from back -Can zip large zippers put on shoes in wash and dry their hands -Two-year-olds brush their teeth but need help removing Plaque -Increasing motor skills of a more independence in all areas of daily life -Feeding dressing play help the child to develop autonomy -Motor development in this age group is far ahead of development of judgment and perception -This difference in timing of development is different skills increases the risk for injury Preschooler> -Coordination and muscle strength increase -Brain size in nerve myelinization increase enabling the trailer to perfect fine and gross motor skills -Motor skills are less influence by environment than other areas of development such as language opportunities to practice may contribute a better motor skills -Before you all too often plays catch with a sibling or parent generally find playing Little League baseball as a seven-year-old easier than a child without similar experience -Handedness begins at three years and is usually clearly established by four years -Nurse encouraged parents to provide left-handed children with appropriate tools particularly left-handed scissors -Left-handed children should not be forced to use the right hands because coordination is usually better when they use the dominant side -I coordination good enough by age 5 for a child to hit nail head with a hammer -Increase coordination allows child to perform any self-care skills and become more independent -45 years, child is independent and can dressed eat and go to the bathroom without help -The older preschooler can usually be trusted to heed verbal warnings of danger

Overview of growth and development

Overview of growth and development -Nurses reassure parents about normal variations in development and he can identify problems early so that development so delays can be addressed as soon as possible -Nurses who work with ill children must have a clear understanding of how children differ from adults in for me each other at various stages Definition of terms> - growth refers to a increase in physical size of a hole or any of its parts or an increase in the number and size of cells. It can be measured easily in accurately. Example any observer can see that an infant rose rapidly doing the first year of life. The growth can be measured readily by determining changes in weight and length. -The difference in size between a newborn and a 12 month old infant is an obvious sign of remarkable growth that occurs during the first year of life -Development is considered to be a continuous orderly series of conditions and leading to activities new motors for activities and patterns of behavior. It also means an increase in function and complexity that occurs through growth maturation and learning in other words it increases and capabilities.

Piagets theory of cognitive develop,ent

Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development Jean Piaget (1896-1980), a Swiss theorist, made major contributions to the study of how children learn. His complex theory provides a framework for understanding how thinking during childhood progresses and differs from adult thinking. Like other developmental theorists, Piaget postulated that children pass through progressive stages as they develop intellectually (Piaget, 1962, 1967). The ages assigned to these periods are only averages. Piaget (1962, 1967) describes these stages as follows. During the sensorimotor period of development, infant thinking seems to involve the entire body. Reflexive behavior is gradually replaced by more complex activities. The world becomes increasingly solid through the development of the concept of object permanence, which is the awareness that objects continue to exist even when they disappear from sight. By the end of this stage, the infant shows some evidence of reasoning. During the period of preoperational thought, language becomes increasingly useful. Judgments are dominated by perception and are illogical, and thinking is characterized, especially during the early part of this stage, by egocentrism. In other words, children are unable to think about another person's viewpoint and believe that everyone perceives situations as they do. Magical thinking (the belief that events occur because of wishing) and animism (the perception that all objects have life and feeling) characterize this period. At the end of the preoperational stage, the child shifts from egocentric thinking and begins to be able to look at the world from another person's view. This shifting enables the child to move into the period of concrete operations, where the child is no longer bound by perceptions and can distinguish fact from fantasy. The concept of time becomes increasingly clear during this stage, although far past and far future events remain obscure. Although reasoning powers increase rapidly during this stage, the child cannot deal with abstractions or with socialized thinking. Adolescents normally progress to the period of formal operations. In this period the adolescent proceeds from concrete to abstract and symbolic and from self-centered to other centered. Adolescents can develop hypotheses and then systematically deduce the best strategies for solving a particular problem because they use a formal operations cognitive style. Newer theories of adolescent cognitive development suggest that appropriate adolescent decision-making is based on a combination of experiential and analytical thinking (Dansereau, Knight & Flynn, 2013). This theory may explain why some adolescents appear to have entered the period of formal operations and others have not, or why adolescent thinking and decision-making varies according to how they process their experiences at a given moment in time. Nursing Implications of Piaget's Theory Although other developmental theorists have disputed Piaget's theories, especially the ages at which cognitive changes occur, his work provides a basis for learning about and understanding cognitive development. Piaget's theory is especially significant to nurses as they develop teaching plans of care for children. 69 Piaget believed that learning should be geared to the child's level of understanding and that the child should be an active participant in the learning process. For the child's optimal and active participation in learning about health or illness, nurses need to understand the different cognitive abilities of children at various ages. However, nurses should also assess each child's cognitive ability and readiness to learn, even if a child has not yet reached the expected age for a particular stage of cognitive development, because many children are capable of learning concepts more advanced than their age would suggest. Conversely, some children who might be expected to understand health issues might not have the literacy capabilities to do so (Lambert & Keogh, 2014). Nurses also need to know how to engage children in the learning process with developmentally appropriate activities. Because illness and hospitalization are often frightening to children, especially toddlers and preschoolers, nurses need to understand the cognitive basis of fears related to treatment and be able to intervene appropriately

Factors influencing growth and development

Factors influencing growth and development Genetics> -Genetic potential is affected by many factors. Environmental influences how in to what extent particular genetic traits are manifested Environment> -Both physical and psychosocial is a significant determinant of growth and development outcomes before and after birth -Prenatal exposure's which include maternal smoking alcohol chemical exposures infectious diseases diabetes can affect the developing fetus -Socioeconomic status mainly poverty has the effect on developing child -Imported toys and other equipment for children can pose hazards particularly if they have multiple small pieces or components with high concentrations of lead or lead paint -Immature and rapidly developing tissue in multiple body systems especially the neurologic system increases the risk for injury from exposure to low water level environmental toxins -Increased metabolic rate and growth which necessitate a higher intake in relation to body mass of food and liquids result in a higher concentration of ingested toxins -More rapid respirations increase inhalation of air pollutants -Larger body surface area and Enhances. absorption through the skin -Developmental behaviors such as mouthing or playing outdoors increase the risk for hazardous ingestion from hand to mouth transfer -Decreased ability to metabolically clear ingested toxins -Environmental toxins can be passed to an infant through breastmilk -Avoid sun exposure, secondhand smoke or air politicians, lead in the house, lead and toys, mercury in foods, use of pesticides in gardens in a playground equipment, pest in test decides, Radon will provide parents with the information they need to reduce risk -Hand hygiene -Nurses perform a brief or expanded environmental health screening AAP -I am concerned that toxic chemicals are not being regulated to the extent required to protect children and pregnant woman -Recommend revisions to the toxic substances control act that would be his decisions about toxic chemical exposures on a reasonable concern for harm especially their potential for harm to children in the pregnant woman -Recommends increased funding of evidence-based research to examine the effects of chemical exposures on children -Increase focus on global climate change and it's effects on children's health -Climate change affects air pollutants water quality environmental temperature weather and Vector habits -Poor children could experience increased respiratory conditions from food supply and vectorborne illnesses -The AAP policy on global climate change recommends educating parents and politicians and it's effects on children advocating for decreased toxic emissions reducing the carbon footprints of buildings and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions Culture> -How the culture affects children performance on assessment test -The child cultural and ethnic background must be considered when assessing growth and Development -Standard growth curve math test do not necessarily reflect the normal growth and development of children of different cultural groups -Growth curve is for children of various racial and cultural backgrounds are increasingly available -Nurse researchers another conduct studies to determine the effectiveness of measurement tools for culturally diverse populations Nutrition> -Children are growing consistently I need continuous supply of the nutrients as it plays an important role throughout -Need more nutritious food and rip proportion to size and adults do -Children's diet and physical activity patterns can forecast the risk for later obesity -Major nutrition factors of concern include inappropriate food advertising directed toward children, decreased access to affordable foods, ready availability of unhealthy sweetened beverages, free drinks, lack of breast-feeding support, providing appropriate portion sizes, many parents cannot adequately controlled with their children are being fed because so many children eat at least one meal away from home Health status> -Inherited or acquired disease can affect the delivery of nutrients hormones or oxygen to organs and can also affect organ growth and function -Disease states that affect growth and development include digestive or Malabsortive of disorders, Sorry illness heart defects and metabolic disease Family> -The special bond and influence of the family on the child there can be no separation of a child from the family in the healthcare setting -Example, miniature anxiety and Child know sometimes attempt to reduce parental anxiety which may reduce the stress of the child -Changes in the family can influence on children develop due to marriage birth divorce stuff new roles and responsibilities -Population shifts migration change our children are raised Parental attitudes> -Education, childhood experiences, financial pressures, marital status, available support systems influence parental attitudes -Affected by the child's temperament or the child is unique way of relating to the world -Different temperaments affect parenting practices and have a bearing on whether a child unique personality trait develop into assets or problems Child-rearing philosophies> -Influence our children grow and development -Example, well educated well-read parents often provide their children with extra stimulation and opportunities for learning beginning at a young age -The enrichment includes extra parental attention and interaction not necessarily expensive toys -Development progress is best when children have access to in Riched opportunities for learning -Other parents may not recognize the value of providing a rich learning environment at home then I'll have time and children of these parents may not progress at the same rate as I was raised in a more enriching atmosphere -Important port point for parents to remember is that children must be ready to learn -If motor and neurologic structures are not mature a task related to those structures can be frustrating for both child and parent for example a child who is six months old when I'll be able to walk alone no matter how much time and effort the patient expends -12 to 14 months a child usually is ready to begin walking and will do so with ease of giving opportunities to practice Theories of growth and development> -No theory can adequately explain the wondrous journey from infancy to adulthood -Each theorist contributes a piece of the puzzle -Theories are not facts for nearly attempts to explain human behavior

Patterns of growth and development

Patterns of growth and development -The first direction of growth is cephalocaudal, or head to toe -Structures and functions originating in the head developed before those in the lower parts of the body. At birth the head as large a four 1/4 of the entire body length the trunk is long, the arms are longer than the legs -As a child matures the body proportions gradually change by adulthood the legs increased in size -Directional growth and development or further illustrated by myelinization of the nerves which begin in the brain and spreads downward as a child matures -Growth of the myelin sheath and other nerve structures contribute to cephalocaudal Development which is illustrated by an infants ability to raise the head before being able to sit in to sit before being able to stand -A second directional aspect of growth and development in proximodistal, Which means progression from the center outward or from the midline to the periphery -Growth and branching pattern of the respiratory track illustrate the concept xThe trachea which is a central structure of the respiratory tree forms in the embryo by 24 days of gestation -Branching and growth outward occur in the bronchi bronchioles and Ialveoli throughout out for your life and infancy -Alveoli continue to grow and develop and number and function until middle childhood -A neonate response to pain is usually a whole body responds with flailing Of the arms and legs even if the pain is in the abdomen -As a child matures the pain response becomes more localized to the stimulus -An older child with abdominal pain guards the abdomen -A toddler's for senses are formed simply using only a noun and a verb -By age 5 years the child constructs detailed stories using many complex modifiers -The rate of growth is not constant as a child matures - Growth spurt's alternating with periods of slow or stagnant growth or observed throughout childhood -Spirits are frequently seen as a child repairs to master a significant developmental task such as walking -An increase in growth around a child's first birthday may promote the neuromuscular maturation required for taking the first steps -Developmental stages do not always correlate with the chronological age - Children progress through developmental stages of varying rates within normal limits and May master developmental task going to regress to earlier levels when ill or stressed -People can struggle repeatedly with particular developmental tasks throughout life
