● Health Status The ill health of a child could mean he/she may have to spend a lot of time in hospital , this would mean being absent from preschool and school affecting education on all levels, including emotional and social aspects of making friends etc. Health conditions such as asthma triggered by certain conditions could affect a child's physical development and need hospital/doctors visits etc. A Child with Asthma may get breathless taking part in physical activities and will have to use an inhaler to open the airway. A Child’s health will also be affected during pregnancy if the mother is drinking or taking drugs. This could result in premature birth and low birth weight which can then lead to a slower development rate.
If the mother smokes, takes drugs, becomes ill or suffers from stress this can result in premature birth and health problems for the baby such as -: low birth weight, undeveloped organs, problems with sight and hearing which will result in the delay their development. Perinatal – this is the actual time of birth. Babies born before 37 weeks are called premature babies. They may need intensive care which will affect the development. Ex: Lack of oxygen during birth will affect the development of the baby.
A premature birth is a birth prior to the 37th week of gestation (Childbirth Health, 2014). Up to 13 percent of babies are born premature (Childbirth Health, 2014). In 2009, 8.2 percent of infants were born with low birth weight (Child Health USA, 2011). It would seem like in this era of encouraged availability of healthcare and easily accessible information that these percentages could be quickly decreased. The good news is that low birth weight is preventable.
Therefore it is strange that they are making informed choice. The concerns raise as the more children will not receive the vaccines the bigger chances of breakdown in ''herd immunity'' as the hypothesis says. In some cases people are resistant to new ideas because it depends what they are representing. In this case many parents believe that vaccination put their children at bigger risk than not having them. There are some statistics that WHO has published showing that children under 2 years old not necessary ''develop immunity following vaccination''.
Parents and children may need help to overcome the bad feelings. Mental health professionals can educate parents about ADHD and how it impacts a family. They also will help the child and his or her parents develop new skills, attitudes, and ways of relating to each other. Downs Syndrome Down syndrome, also known as Down’s syndrome, is a genetic condition that usually causes some level of learning disability and a range of physical features. Most babies born with Down syndrome are diagnosed after birth and will be likely to have hypotonia which is reduced muscle tone leading to floppiness, eyes that slant upwards and outwards, palmar crease which is when their palm may have only one crease across it, a below average weight and length at birth.
201 2.1 Jean Taylor Describe the kinds of influences that can affect a child’s or young person’s development with regard to: (C) Environment [pic] [pic] [pic] ----------------------- Environment in young children babies who are born into poverty can be smaller then other children of same age and have more heath issues. Wealthy environment can be bad to for babies as parents can afford to employ some one to look after them and they will not always show them love Mentally or violent environments can cause children to have behavioural problems as they don't know how to cope or change what is happing. Violent' actions can lead to more violent actions. Environment middle age children 6 to 13 Children of this age can have self esteem issues as having no money can mean they can not do things their peers do and lack of food can affect contraction Children of this age can have all they want brought for them but if they are just left on their own without parents input they are missing out on life's important things parents can share with them Negative environment can harm as it causes a feeling of negativity instead of joy which can lead to emotional distress. Environment 14 up wards At this age if a child has not been able to move away from poverty area then their life will be fighting to improve it on little money and a lot of hope At this age the lack of parents input can course problems, emotionally and they don't always understand how money works as they have always been given it.
Even before birth a child is developing within the womb. The parents are responsible in ensuring that they are giving their unborn child the nutrients to develop. This helps to prevent any small or large physical and learning difficulties during this time, as in many cases it is out of the child’s or parents control. If learning cognitive theories are accepted and the infant brain is insufficiently stimulated during the first 3 years of a child’s life, or they are exposed to toxins or malnutrition, then this can be a factor in later learning and disabilities. There have been many studies on diet and how it effects a child’s growth and physical development and ability to learn.
It's also tough for children to be diagnosed as because not many of them will be able to perform some of the tests. Asthma is identified established from a medical history, physical examination and lung function test. Asthma is by definition a chronic disorder. It is diagnosed by a pattern of recurrent symptoms over a period of time, generally at least one year. Any of the S&S associated with asthma may occur with one illness or even several separate illnesses, but not recur over a longer period.
For example infants that are born severely mentally retarded share some of the same qualities with anencephalic infants such as lack of motor skills and bowel or bladder control. There are also concerns with using the organs of anencephalic infants like if the organs such as the heart, liver, and kidneys will successfully continue to properly function. When an anencephalic infant is born there is some autonomic brain function and some reflexes however the organs can’t be removed until the infant has been certified dead. There is a need to save infants lives that are dying from liver, renal, and cardiac diseases but is it right to take the life of an existing infant because of their abnormality? What makes one patients life more valuable than another and more importantly the infant with anencephaly has a moral right to life.
Huntington also creates inability to enjoy life and lack of energy. Sometime delusions and hallucination, paranoia, and bad behavior occurs. After age 50 some people may suffer depression rather than anger or irritability. These symptoms affects many parts of the human body that why we need a medical answer to prevent and stop this disease. People in families with high percentages of Huntington don’t have a promising future even the children are at risk.
