Even when an athlete returns from an injury they can still be affected by it and play more tentatively on the field or court because of fear of re-injury (Brehm, 2008). The psychological effects of sports injuries all depend on how the athlete copes with the injury. Epidemiological reports of sports injury confirm a high incidence of injuries occurring at all levels of sport participation, ranging in severity from cuts and bruises to spinal cord injury. The psychosocial dynamics accompanying sport injury should be known to ensure psychological recovery, an important aspect in rehabilitating the injured athlete. Earlier studies demonstrating psychological differences between athletes and non-athletes indicated the need for actual research on the athlete's post injury response in lieu of accepting the hypothesis that the emotional responses of athletes to injury parallels
Health Chronic conditions such as asthma can cause children to have time off school, infections like meningitis causes development delay. Disability Cerebral palsy can result in brain damage and can cause problems with mobility.

Family background can effect a child's development by the family's values the culture and the way the child is encouraged and cared for all can effect the child development.
All children have accidents, like bumps and falls, which cause injury. However, you may have reasons for thinking that an injury has been inflicted on purpose if: • an injury strikes you as odd • a child is injured repeatedly • a parent delays seeking treatment • a parent or child gives unconvincing or inconsistent explanations about an injury. Indicators in the context of safeguarding are Physical abuse, bruises to the eyes, mouth, or ears, grasp mark, and bruises of different ages in the same place. Outline bruises e.g. hand prints, belts or shoes.
Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disease that causes thick, sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive system. It can affect the sinuses and breathing which can cause a big impact on life. It can affect a person’s intellectual growth as they may be in and out of doctors or hospitals for checkups. Also it can affect them physically as their motor skills and co ordination aren’t as good. They can be affected in emotional development due to bullying at school assuming they are tried out in a school rather than a disabilities school.
Thesis Statement Literature Review Succinct description of disease/condition/population Children, who are abused and neglected often, have learned disabilities. They are often aggressive or withdrawn, have a hard time staying focused on tasks, and can sometimes appear (and sometimes are) mentally challenged because of the abuse they have experienced. Sexually abused children who carry the primary diagnosis of PTSD have a secondary diagnosis of ADD in 14% to 46% of documented cases. Concurrently, ADD diagnosis rates for the above-mentioned children are double those found in the general population. The adage that “history repeats itself” is valid with regard to society’s maltreatment and disregard for children.
Matty Joe Slop 11/14/11 Period 1 The look of Steroid use in Baseball There are many types of steroids and all of them are bad for your body. The types of steroids that baseball players commonly use are anabolic pills, injections, melt away tablets, and creams. Baseball players use steroids to become stronger fast so they can hit more homeruns. Some steroids such as creams and melt away tablets can improve eye sight but have horrible side effects like stretch marks and bruising. The most common effects of steroids are mood swings, short temper, acne on the back and face, and decaying of the liver.
A 6 year old child is extremely vulnerable at this age because too much cortisol can cause permanent damage to the hippocampus thus causing learning and memory disabilities. Berger, also, stressed that young children who are victims of maltreatment and highly stressful experiences may incur damaged limbic systems resulting in physical and mental disorders, poor emotional regulation that may affect health many years later (Quas et al., 2004, p. 797). One of the many signs of a maltreatment is a child is quick, impulsive reactions. The prefrontal cortex or frontal lobe part of the brain is known as the ”executive of the brain” because this is where everything that happens in all other parts of the cortex has to be channeled through for regulation. Even though, the prefrontal cortex’s hierarchy of duties of anticipation, planning, and impulse control reins over all other areas of the cortex, this is the last part of the brain to mature (Berger, 2011 p. 132; 215).
PSY481U Assignment 2 Theme 1: Learning and Behaviour Disorders Attention- Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders “Children with ADHD continue to pose a considerable challenge to their families and society at large” Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a disorder associated with socially disruptive behaviours such as inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsivity. Cantwell (1996) explained that these behaviours may cause significant impairment and interference in numerous areas of a child’s normal development. Furthermore, according to Tutorial letter 101 for PSY481U (2010) children with ADHD also have a consequential impact on the lives of those surrounding the child. The focus of this essay will be a discussion on the challenges
Because children with FAS spend a great deal of time in difficult surroundings or multiple locations, they develop attachment disorder. An amalgamation of developmental delays and environmental stressors can cause behaviors in adolescents with FAS (Harpur,
The toddler stage is characterized by a lot of growth, change, and mood swings. Toddlers have a strong will, and are still short on skill. This is why they are often frustrated and why many people refer to this stage as the "terrible twos". This stage usually occurs sometime between when the child is 1 ½ until 3 years old. A child’s aspiration for something is usually a response to a physical need or an indication of your desire.
