Education is important with this form of treatment so clients can recognize how different factors affect the course of the disease and what they can do to manage these factors (Steinkuller and Rheineck 342). Family therapy is also a means of treatment where family members as well as the client see a mental health provider to find solutions and ways to deal with the disorder. Family involvement provides structure and could increase adherence to treatment leading to delays or reductions in relapses (Steinkuller and Rheineck 342). Interpersonal and social rhythm therapy involves stabilizing social and circadian rhythms based on the hypotheses that unstable daily routines result in increased bipolar episodes in individuals prone to them (Steinkuller and Rheineck 349). Social rhythm therapy recognizes the need for regular sleep/wake cycles, regulation of meals, exercise, sleep and plans for keeping rhythms stable when disruptions occur.
You should also inform the child’s parent about the bump on the head and how it happened. This is all included in the health and safety policy, and all the staff members should follow it.

The child may have hurt themselves and by communicating with the nursery staff they can get the help that they need. They also need to be able to communicate with you if they are having any trouble at home or even at the nursery with other children or other members of staff, so that you can try your best to help them solve these issues or atleast get them the help and support that they may need. Communication is also very important as it is a form of learning this could be helping the child understand the difference between right and wrong and the helping them gain the educational knowledge that they should be recieving while they are in your care in an nursery. Staff - Staff: Members of staff communicate with each other so that the day to day running of the nursery goes to plan, it is important to talk to each other so that you can pass important imformation about the children to all the staff in the room that need to know ie: if a child is sick and has medicine that they need to be taking or if a child has any dietry requirements etc. They also should inform eachother of any falls or accidents that the child may have had so that if you are on your break or have finished your shift then atleast the handover to the childs parent or gaurdian can be as informed as possible so that anyone in the room can tell parents if their child had a fall and what happened not just say "i do not know i was not there when it happened but i think that they may have fallen etc" this makes the whole room look

P2 and P3 Explain different psychological approaches to health and social practice Cognitive learning theorists believe that learning is an internal process in which information is combined into one as cognitive structure. Learning occurs through internal processing of information. One example of cognitive perspective that is used in healthcare practice can include supporting individuals that have learning difficulties. On a day to day basis, individuals with learning difficulties can find skilled tasks very difficult and confusing; because of this they are likely to get very frustrated. The cognitive perspective can help people with these learning difficulties and support them to help make sense of these tasks by identifying basic thoughts
They always have a different perspective, see the child in a variety of different situations and they are aware of their learning and behaviour outside the setting. Professionals use various standard measurements to monitor and assess children’s physical development and to determine whether they are growing at the expected rate of their age. This kind of checks will be done by health practitioners (GP, Health visitors...). They may use different tests to see how a child is performing compared to the large group of other children in the same age group. For example they may use growth assessments to measure and assess the children’s height, weight and head circumference, auditory assessments to monitor and assess the children’s levels of response, reasoning assessments to monitor and assess children’s reasoning carried out by educational psychologists, cognitive aptitude assessments to monitor and assess children’s intelligence and they are widely carried out in schools.
This positive attitude could encourage the children to want to do physical activities. Some other key factors that influence the health of children today are:- Living in poverty Second-Hand Smoke.

Another value of a multi-professional approach is that they can safeguard children when abuse is noticed or suspected, the multi-agency team comes together to take any necessary steps to protect the child and can also support the family. The value of working in a multi-professional approach, when working with parents is by providing and supporting families with what they need. For example if families are living in poor quality and poorly maintained housing which may have damp in, this can cause diseases for instance asthma. This will affect the children’s learning and development as they will be ill or taking time of school. As Maslow’s hierarchy places needs in order which is most important and the first basic physical need is shelter which is priority.
Introduction to Physical Therapy Assistant PTA100 Family Priorities for Activity and Participation of Children and Youth with Cerebral Palsy Natalie Martinez February 11, 2013 Cerebral Palsy is a group of disorders affecting both posture and movement. It derives from a disturbance of fetal or infant brain development which impairs sensation, perception, cognition, and communication. Children who suffer from this disorder as well as their parents have different priorities for activity and participation in relation to their mobility. In this study, a family-centered approach was recommended for children with cerebral palsy to promote outcomes on how their child lives, learns, and plays. This study contained two purposes.
