Disabilities in a child can cause a development delay. Their disability may affect one area of development delay which in turn can affect another area, meaning that overall development cannot occur. This can lead to low self-esteem and self worth. Genetic inheritance is what triggers a disability, such as Down’s syndrome. This means that they may have an impairment of cognitive ability and physical growth so they will need extra support in daily activities.
3.2 Explain the reasons children and young peoples development may not follow the expected pattern. there are many reasons which may cause a child or young persons development not to follow the expected pattern. These factors may be external or personal and can include disability, emotional influence, physical influences, environmental influences, social influences, learning needs and communication skills. Disability. this could be a physical or learning disability.
Communication with other children may be limited which could affect the child's emotional and social development as the child may feel left out which could leave them feeling sad or even angry within the situation. This could then lead to the child not wanting to join in with future activities. 2.1 The main influences that can affect a child's development is their parents. Parents will affect the background of a child as they are the ones who bring the child into the world and also cultural beliefs are pass down from the parents, also if there is any abuse in the family background this will affect the child's development as they may experience more sad and angry emotions. The child's health will also be influenced by the parents as they could pass on a genetic disorder on to the child for example a heart problem and they could spend a lot of time in hospital and miss out socialising with peers .
Foundations of Human Development in the Social Environment Paper Matthew Orman BSHS/325 Mary Carlisle 03/30/2015 Human development is the biological, psychological, and social process that a human being must go through to reach full maturity. It defines who we are and how we interact with and view the environment around us. Understanding human development and how it affects an individual is an essential theme in human services. Understanding the bio-psycho-social dimensions of human development, having cultural competency, and comprehending the general systems theory and how it works are all important parts of being an effective human service professional. Human development consists of three dimensions: Biological, psychological and social development.
If at any point they failed, they would see this as a big mistake and give up and have a lack of motivation. It can also be argued that working class children do not get the support of their parents, this is because many of the parents believe that they survived without an education, so believe that there children can do the same. Working class families can also lack in support in terms of if the child fails a particular exam, they would not give them positive feed back on how they could improve they would improve. Whereas, it can be argued that higher class families have more motivation and the parents also give the support to the children that is needed. This would have a positive influence on the child’s education as it would give them hope and not give them an opportunity of giving up.
Sometimes this is learned behaviour from home and is hard for young children to understand that you are telling them it is not okay to call names because of someone’s skin colour or how they look . It is important to be consistent and reinforce that it’s not okay and it is very upsetting and hurtful. How would they feel if they were left out. We need to teach our children empathy from an early age and to respect each other regardless of race, age, gender, how we look, where were from. 2.2 Any form of prejudice and discrimination can have a severe negative effect throughout a person’s life.
A child with sight impairment is unable to learn by watching and copying either peers or teachers. A child with any sensory impairment may need longer to get used to their surroundings. 2.2 There are also lots of external factors that are likely to affect the child’s development. These include; Poverty ad deprivation The Family environment and background The child’s care status/ looked after care Children from wealthy families are more likely to achieve better rather than children from poorer families. This is often because parents from poorer backgrounds are less likely to meet the child’s educational needs.
Children who are lacking in confidence or are depressed may lack in motivation and will therefore not try out new skills. In my setting, if this is the case we will try to motivate the child, or if there is something more to it we try to find out why the child is feeling depressed, and get to the route of the problem. Another factor could be physical reasons, some children’s developmental plan could affected by their genetic code, this may mean that they are slow to develop in many areas for no specific reason. Children’s development could also be slowed down by difficulties in physical growth. In this cases in my setting we would try and encourage the child and meet that child’s individual needs by not pushing them to do the tasks of a more developed child.
Sociology looks beyond normal, taken-for-granted views of reality, to provide deeper, more illuminating and challenging understandings of social life. Through its particular analytical perspective, social theories, and research methods, sociology is a discipline that expands our awareness and analysis of the human social relationships, cultures, and institutions that profoundly shape both our lives and human history. (Furze et al, 2012; Plummer, 2010; Back et al, 2012; Macionis & Plummer, 2012; Ballantine & Roberts 2011) There are theories developed to explain these phenomenons, termed sociological theories or perspectives. Functionalism,
As a result, the development, nature and understanding of different social institutions, including the family, health-care systems, religion, education, media, politics and economy, are determined or affected by these three social theories. To understand the three theories and how they affect different social institutes, one must first understand what a sociological theory is. The definition put forth by Purdue states the following: “Sociological theory is a set of assumptions, assertions, and propositions, organized in the form of an explanation or interpretation, of the nature, form, or content of social action” (Purdue, p. 1). Each sociological theory mentioned above: functionalism, conflict, and interactionism, presents a different set of assumptions or perspective that define a particular
