At the age of four 25 of them were returned to their biological families, 33 of them were adopted and 7 of them were kept in the institution and occasionally adopted. They collected the data on the adolescents by interviewing the mothers (sometimes with the father present), interviewing the children, using self – report questionnaires, having the teachers of the adolescents complete a questionnaire on their relationships with their peers and the relationship with the teacher, and finally a Rutter ‘B’ scale psychometric test that identifies psychiatric problems such as depression. Their findings had been compared to the control group of children who had not been institutionalised. The findings showed that the children who were adopted formed stronger attachments to their adoptive mothers than the ‘restored’ children did with their natural mothers. However, according to their teachers both groups of children were unsuccessful compared to the control group at forming peer relationships and tended to seek the attention and the approval of adults.

Describe and evaluate Ainsworth's work on attachment (12 marks) In 1978 Ainsworth et al studied the reactions of young children to brief separations from their mother in order to determine the nature of attachment behaviours and types of attachments Ainsworth’s procedure is known as the strange situation. In the study she conducted she use controlled observation infants were exposed to a sequence of 3 minute-episodes. The total observation period lasted for approximately 25 minutes. First the infant and mother were introduced to the observation room by the researcher, then the researcher left the room. After a while a stranger entered and had a brief conversation with the mother.
Normally it is noticed first in trouble feeding the infant due to issues with muscle control used to suck. Children typically begin to start walking between the ages of three and five. One in every 12,000 to 20,000 individuals are born with AS. Testing to confirm a case is generally done by a blood test to determine if the gene is active or imprinted and this test is known as methylation testing.

Unit 516 Understand safeguarding of children and young people (for those working in the adult sector) Understand the policies, procedures and practices for safe working with children and young people Explain the policies, procedures and practices for safe working with children and young people. O1.1 The Children’s Act of 1984 and subsequently 2004 highlighted the obligations of professionals working with children to report suspected abuse. Following some serious incidents most notably the death of Victoria Climbie in 2000, a public inquiry was set up to address the failure of the law to uphold the protection of vulnerable children. As a result of the inquiry carried out by Lord Laming into Victoria death, major changes in child protection policies came about. The Every Child Matters initiative was launched in 2003 by the government and has become one of the most far-reaching policy initiatives to be released in the ten years.
There are ordinary people of society, only with special care needs. One of the most common known drug out there to help in controlling these conditions is Ritalin. Ritalin has had some successful stories, but there are other stories of how people would take their children off the drug due to the side effects and differences they noticed in their children after a long period of time. According to The American Psychological Association, a Dr. Peter Jensen conducted a period of trials on children to see if the medication actually worked and how well it worked. It came back a year later that only 60% of these children that were treated were successful, while the rest failed, but it is stated that this medication is not for everyone and does have severe side effects.
