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.
Sometimes this is learned behaviour from home and is hard for young children to understand that you are telling them it is not okay to call names because of someone’s skin colour or how they look . It is important to be consistent and reinforce that it’s not okay and it is very upsetting and hurtful. How would they feel if they were left out. We need to teach our children empathy from an early age and to respect each other regardless of race, age, gender, how we look, where were from. 2.2 Any form of prejudice and discrimination can have a severe negative effect throughout a person’s life.
The environment of prejudice and discrimination will have a very negative impact on children. Depending on how long it goes on for, the child’s learning will suffer. They will not want to join in any activities, as this would draw attention to themselves, feel part of the class and won’t settle and be happy. So academically their progress will suffer, which is totally wrong as every child has the right to learn and be happy at school. Discrimination and prejudice can have a long term impact on any child.
Reproof is a repeated form of discipline in which the child learns if they continuously act a certain way then there will be a negative consequence given for each instance that the behavior occurs. For example.. If the child chooses not to use the classroom toys in a proper manner then that particular toy will be taken away, this is re-proven by consistently taking away an object that is being misused. The other side of this is punishment which is described as giving a child something they will not enjoy (quiet-time, Time-out, extra chores, etc...) This will have the same effect as reproof the child will learn that in order to avoid these negative consequences that they need to fix the way they are acting. The idea that combines these two forms is the consistence that is necessary to make it effective.
The development of the prefrontal cortex during adolescence permits them to engage in sophisticated thinking. For example, they are able to compare different possibilities, they are able to monitor their own thought processes and comprehend abstract logic. Therefore, when it comes to making decisions, adolescents are able to value possibilities and consequences better than a child, but still not like an adult. Despite of the improvements in decision-making and cognition, adolescents are still driven towards risk-involving activities. As per Steinberg (2013), this could be explained by the time gap between the development of the limbic system in puberty and the prefrontal cortex maturing years after.

Teens may be self-conscious of their delayed puberty a complication of Crohn’s disease. Additionally, a colostomy if required alters the teen’s identity because their appearance and body image becomes different from that of their peers. The overwhelming sensation of embarrassment that colostomy brings may be more difficult to deal with that the pain of the disease itself. Adolescents are conscious that they cannot just go swimming or participate in something as innocent as a sport where one team is skins and one is shirts, for the fear they will be on the skins team Crohn’s: Patient Education Plan 4 (Mackner, Sisson, & Crandell, 2005).

It can affect the child in many ways as they can become nervous and anxious resulting in them becoming withdrawn and have a lack of confidence at the thought of a new school, they may be leaving close friendship groups making them upset and feeling alone. Most children will experience a new baby in the family. Younger children may find this difficult as they will still be used to having all of the attention and not understand why the family set up has changed, this could lead them to reverting back to baby ways themselves, have tantrums, be unkind to the new baby or become clingy. An older child may feel left out and become withdrawn and feel in the way, which could result in them not feeling a part of the new family. They may endure sleepless nights and loose sleep making them tired and unable to concentrate when at school.
Some girls may think the only way to keep their boyfriend is to have sex with them and the thought of having their baby just to keep them or trap them into staying with them is also a reality which often times back fires on the girl. Girls now days are not so apt to remain a virgin till they are married. Times have changed with each generation coming of age. Young kids do not always think about what their priorities are and what they can do to help themselves keep on track with them. They often time just make decisions that will benefit them for the moment.
This may cause the teenager to become more independent as they may resent their parents, for getting divorced, and leave home. The family, in which an adolescent is living in at the time of puberty, can make a difference to how a teenager handles puberty. “Puberty is characterized by accelerated physical growth and intense psycho-social adjustment” (Mattson 6). Rapid transitions begin to take place, and their bodies start to transform. Boys commence to develop later than girls, causing stress due to identity quandaries.
