Shanna L. Cannoy Professor Sarah Lupinacci English 102 26 July 2011 The Effective Use of Medication is Needed for Controlling ADHD Symptoms in Children When parents have children with a health issue such as diabetes medication is sometimes necessary to control the disease. While ADHD is a mentally debilitating disorder, many people including some parents of their own children, with ADHD, will not help their child by the use of medication. It is a parent’s job to do everything possible to ensure their child’s ability to succeed with their best interest in mind. Why would a parent deny their children a sufficient way to survive better socially, academically, and emotionally when the option is present to help them do so? Robert Findling says it best with his question ‘‘Why would you want to let a child suffer unnecessarily?’’ ( qtd.
Some ideas and theories in science meet with resistance. One of the examples when an idea is meeting with the resistance is immunization. More often children immunization meets with public resistance. As the vaccination of children is parents' decision many decides not to do it. Data published by NHS show that there is high number of measles reported due to 1-16 years old children who missed the vaccinations between 1990s and 2000s.
Children with learning difficulties will need extra support with certain areas of development and may develop a low self-esteem because they get annoyed with themselves for not being able to do something, such as a simple numeracy problem, or read a book. If a child has sensory impairment, a hearing problem this would influence their development, it could affect their speech and communication and may make them feel they are unable to join in with
Children of separated couples may also perform worse at school and have poorer future employment prospects. Some children are less likely to have successful relationships themselves as adults. However, it is not inevitable that all children will suffer long term harm from the break up of a parent’s relationship. Reference: One plus One strengthening relationships www.oneplusone.org.uk New Sibling: Very young children will find this the most difficult to cope with, vying for parental attention for the first time. Some children may ‘play up’ in response to the stress of the life change.
They can quickly fall behind from peers of the same age. They may find it difficult to interact and make friends with others who are more advanced. They may struggle with intellectual development memory and concentration. Delayed speech development A child who has limited or no speech could be a cause great concern. This would affect a child’s social and communication development as he/she would find it difficult to listen and speak to peers staff and carers this could also affect their behaviour possibly becoming frustrated and quite angry Whatever concern you have about a Childs development in any area, you should always share it with others.
Now imagine classifying these three medications into three different groups: medication that works; medication that doesn’t work as well; and medication that both works and doesn’t. Nicholas Kotowski being one of the many effected with ADHD has agreed to share his input or what is good or bad. People often think that things hard to say are worthless, but not in this case. As most may know, teachers get very upset and aggravated if ADHD children are in their presence, but most never stop and think that students can’t help their disturbance and think that everything is just peachy keen. Vyvanse, Nicholas’ favorite kind, seems to work well with his major conflict, concentrating while in school.
For some though, such is not the case, there may be stress and fear. While most parents are wondering simple things, such as, if it’s a boy or girl, others are wondering whether or not their past or current alcohol addiction will be a concern. Alcohol could be one of the oldest addictions in these United States, (U.S.) today. Drinking alcohol during pregnancy, once thought to be rare, now is commonly known to cause birth defects, mental retardation and developmental delay, worldwide, (Burd). One of those birth defects is fetal alcohol syndrome or F.A.S., and as Dr. Burd explains: “The current term used to describe the full range of these problems is fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, (F.A.S.D.).
In order to decrease the abuse of prescription medications we must understand where these drugs are coming from, what their effects are on the mind and body, as well as what can be done to prevent these drugs from getting into the wrong hands. The prescription drug epidemic had a good run due to the lack of information regarding their true dangers but with more readily available data and thousands of cases to help back it up, one can only hope abuse will begin to decline in the years to follow. Prescription drug abuse can be defined as someone taking a medication prescribed to them or acquired some other way for a reason or in a method other than that suggested by a doctor.
Occasionally, children will hear stories about “...what dad did...” or “...what mum said...” These situations could make the child appear to be distant or aloof from the outside and that they are indifferent to events. However, these children will often be hurting inside and doing their utmost to hide this within a tough exterior. Older children and teenagers may revert back to an earlier emotional state associated with a time when they perceived themselves to be “safe” As well as the death of a person affecting the child, the death of a pet, or even the loss of a particular toy can have a
I believe when they are on it too long, the brain develops wrong and can cripple them mentally in the long run. I feel that some doctors have a lack of understanding on these conditions and just give out medication to hopefully fix the problem, only in the short term. People need to learn to cope with their problems without
