Exceptional children 2010: This article specifies the impact that ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) can have on families. Stress and aggression are two main outcomes of children with this disorder. Researchers have found that mothers with children of ASD are more than likely to have more stress than mothers with Down syndrome. Not only does this disorder cause aggression and stress in family life, but also it makes life much more difficult for the child with the disorder resulting in added aggression in them than usual. Furthermore, this aggression in the child is added to due to family stress plus the aggression already formed in their brain.
AC 1.3 2.1 2.2 There are many reasons why development in young people may follow expected patterns. These factors may include: social, economic, environmental and cultural. When working with children within our settings it is important to be aware of all these factors which may impact on the upbringing of the children attending our settings. The social factors may be from having a lack of friendship networks. Children’s friendship with others help them develop their emotional understanding, interaction, empathy and social skills.
The social dynamics of school, puberty, life at home, and many other factors affect the psyche of teens during this time in their life both positively and negatively. Some of these transitions cause emotional instability in the lives of adolescents, spiraling some into depression. When dealing with major depression, antidepressants are often used to help the adolescent cope by creating a feeling of balance. There is debate on adolescents using antidepressants. Stephen Barlas reports in Psychiatric Times that antidepressants are found to cause “possible suicidal ideation and suicide attempts as side effects” (2006).

Beck Depression Inventory versus Hamilton: A Comparative Review Capella University 2012 Introduction Two of the most widely recognized and validated assessments for the detection of depression are the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), (Beck, Ward, Medelson, Mock, & Erbaugh, 1961) and the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD), (Hamilton, 1960). The Beck Depression Inventory is a 21-item self-report questionnaire that list symptoms which clients can rank for 0-3 depending on severity over the past week; therefore a high overall score predicts major depression (Moran & Mohr, 2005). The Hamilton Rating Scale is a semi-structured interview that has several forms; however the most popular version consists of 17- structured items (Moran & Mohr, 2005). The first 14

A child’s social network and emotional development can influence development, along with the use of drugs and alcohol both (child and parent). A child may not understand what is required due to unidentified possible language delay. Child may be bored and uninterested at school. 2.2 Explain how children and young people’s development is influenced by a range of external factor External factors can have an effect on a child’s development for such poverty, deprived of food, clothes and toys. Poor living conditions, inadequate diet and exercise and quality of life, leading to increased illness.
Examples of influences that affect children and young people’s development, including; background, health and environmental. Events that children may not understand may leave them confused, leading to frustration and aggressive outbursts. They may become withdrawn in their behaviour and develop unwanted habits through anxiety. The factors causing this behaviour may be: arrival of a new baby, bereavement, and divorce or moving home to mention a few. A loving and secure attachment to a nurturing adult influences a child’s capacity for social, emotional and cognitive development and the ability to have positive relationships.
Divorce “ Teenagers in Trouble” Stress is basically defined as an applied force to strain a body; a mentally or emotionally upsetting condition occurring in response to adverse external influences and capable of affecting physical health. Teenagers now days have had a lot of stress because of a lot of different reasons. However, the main things in my opinion that cause stress for teenagers are peer pressure and more importantly family problems(for example: divorce). Such stresses put teenagers in problems where they make life decisions that can be very risky. Many books were interesting regarding child stress but particularly “The Romance of Risk” by Dr. proton was very amazing.
