● 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.

It is for these reasons that ADHD is found mainly in children and goes away as the child grows, learns and matures into adulthood. There are some cases, however, that the child is not determined on getting over their ADHD and does not grow out of it. They will have to keep buying the medications and or changing their lifestyles to accommodate to the disorder so that they can live a normal and fulfilling life. In conclusion, ADHD is found mostly in children and not in adults, because of the disease in 1917 that ruptured children’s brain to the point where they can not focus easily in whatever they do. They have trouble in everyday life because of this disorder and will struggle for most of their life trying to fight it off, they might eventually fight it off if they are determined enough to get rid of it
Separation anxiety 3.Reunion behaviour 4.Stranger Anxiety. One of the biggest weaknesses of Ainsworth’s experiment was that it may not just measure the attachment types of the infant but more so the quality of the relationship between the infant and caregiver. Second of all an experiment by Main and Weston found that infants behave differently depending on the parent that they are with. Therefore this could mean that SS doesn’t actually fully measure what it is meant to which automatically decreases the validity of the strange situation as a measurement of attachment type. On the other hand some may argue that the only relationship that is of relevance is your primary caregiver, which is the
The children of Munchausen’s mothers are frequently hospitalized for complaints of a group of symptoms that do not fit any known disease or disorder. As a result of the mother’s reporting of symptoms, these children often end up suffering through unnecessary diagnostic test and procedures, and are sometimes even victims of unwarranted surgeries (U.S. National Library of Medicine, et al. 2011). While there may be strong suspicions of the exaggeration of nonexistent symptoms, the medical team is still obligated to believe the child is ill, especially if the child is too young to speak for himself. Since doctors are compelled to take a parent’s complaints seriously, and since doctors are both expected and required to find the underlying cause of symptoms whenever possible, Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy often becomes an ethical dilemma of whether to treat the child, or disregard the symptoms and report the suspected abuse.
The babies had low birth weights and some required more medical intervention than others but all survived. Two of the children have cerebal palsy and one had to have spinal surgery to help him learn to walk. Critics felt the McCaughey’s were irresponsible to have that many children and felt they should have been required to use selective reduction. It was also felt if the McCaughey’s weren’t prepared to use selective reduction they shouldn’t have been allowed to use fertility treatment. Since the McCaughey’s had a fairly good outcome with the childrens health, critics are also afraid it will encourage others to carry multiple fetuses thinking it’s safe and reliable to do so.
Most people would have to side with these two authors; therefore, getting deaf babies implanted seems like the “normal” thing to do. However, if deafness is seen as “not normal,” what about people with a prosthetic leg? People do not see the fake leg, unless he/she does not have long pants on, but the fact that he/she has one is not considered normal to the rest of the world. These people may have a false leg, but they can still walk, talk, hear, and see, and yet, they are still different. Are they considered not normal?

Dealing with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, better known as PCOS, affects many women today. According to the Nursing Resource Center, “PCOS is a disorder in which women do not experience normal release of eggs from the ovaries, they have an abnormal production of male hormones, and their body is resistant to the effects of the hormone insulin. The disorder results in infertility, abnormal masculinization, and increased risk of developing heart disease and certain cancers (Traub1). This disease has become a big problem for women today, but fortunately there are a few options that women can use as a solution to this problem. There are many women who are not aware of this disease, and even women who are affected by it,
Experts do know that ADHD has a strong genetic component. They think that genes that control the levels of certain chemicals in the brain called neurotransmitters seem to be different in those with ADHD. In some cases, though, there is no genetic link to ADHD. Nevertheless, this common behavior disorder is still diagnosed in children whose mothers smoked or drank alcohol during pregnancy. It's also diagnosed in children whose mothers had difficult pregnancies.
