Developmental History Case Study Randy Porter University of Phoenix I was referenced a child by his teacher who thought the kid had a psychological issue. This child is an eight year old boy who was referenced to me because he consistently disruptive his class mates during class. He consistently has outburst in the class room and has shown other type of behavior that is not appropriate in the classroom. The child is very disruptive and is consistently getting into trouble during school hours. His parents have been called to the school on several occasions to pick up their son and take him home.
Parents are available to listen and to play any time that he/she wants. Immediately after another newborn comes home, everything changes. The children change their attitude, and do not want to listen; they do that because they are trying to get their parents’ attention. The loss of being the center of attention after a newborn is at home causes the older children to feel sad, angry, and jealous. Sibling rivalry usually continues throughout childhood and it can be very frustrating and stressful to parents.
Even though advocates against child abuse work diligently every day to put an end to child abuse, it is tragic because child abuse can cause physical and emotional distress along with many other factors and child abuse can lead to developmental issues and detachment from others. In the book “A Child Called It”, Pelzer says he lived a normal and healthy life until his mother became an alcoholic, transformed into a monster, and began expressing her anger on her child at the age of four (Pelzer, 1995, Loc 1344). The physical injury or ill-treatment of a child under the age of eighteen by a person who is responsible for the child’s wellbeing under circumstances, which indicate that the child’s health or wellbeing is harmed or threatened thereby, is the definition of child physical abuse, defined by The National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect (Newton, 2001). Ethical theory is an idea that helps a person form personal standards to help them differentiate what is morally good or bad. Child abuse within any standard is morally wrong in the eyes of most people.

When my child was 3 years old, he overheard arguments that my partner and I have. During one recent argument, I ended up walking out of the house in anger. My child started to cry and kept asking for days if I was going to run away. My partner and I tried to calm him, telling him that I was not going to run away, so he should not worry. At home and sometimes in public, my child would occasionally have emotional outbursts or tantrums about not getting something he wants.
Likewise, the hardships Tom had to endure as a child toughened his soul and sharpened his mind. Abandoned by his alcoholic father, Tom lived in “a miserable tworoom tenement” (Anderson 650) with his mom and siblings. The situation went from bad to worse when his mother passed away, leaving her little children uncared for. Tom, who was just 10 years old at that time, forced himself to overcome grief and to hold himself together for the sake of his siblings. He even shoved his father off in the funeral of his mother and worked arduously to fend for his family.
Pink’s time in school was hard for him. The teachers were cruel to the students, and did everything they could to hurt the children. Pink sings about the teachers in the song “Happiest Days Of Our Life” where he sings “When we grew up and went to school there were certain teachers who would hurt the children in
Thousands of children go to school every day filled with fear and trepidation; other feign illness to avoid being taunted or attacked on the way to school or in the school yard, hallways, and bathrooms; still others manage to make themselves sick at school so as to avoid harassment in the locker room. Children who are bullied spend a lot of time thinking up ways to avoid the trauma and have little energy left for learning. It is not only the bullied child who suffers the consequences of bullying. Many children who bully continue these learned behaviors into adulthood and are at increased risk of bullying their own children, failing at interpersonal relationships, losing jobs, and ending up in jail. Bystanders are also affected by bullying.
Twin Behavior: Intervening 6/1/13 Twin Behavior Intervening Amee and Aaron are twins who have both witnessed their father abuse their mother on a regular basis and they have begun to fear their father and try their best not to annoy him (Argosy University, 2013). Amee and Aaron both have been showing aggressive behavior at school towards other children while playing. At a student/teacher conference the teacher recommended that Lacy, their mother, pursue an intervention program for the twin’s behavior problems (Argosy University, 2013). Children such as Amee and Aaron who have witnessed family violence within the home are at risk of having behavioral, physical and mental health issues throughout their lives (Bernard, 2003).
