Parents and children may need help to overcome the bad feelings. Mental health professionals can educate parents about ADHD and how it impacts a family. They also will help the child and his or her parents develop new skills, attitudes, and ways of relating to each other. Downs Syndrome Down syndrome, also known as Down’s syndrome, is a genetic condition that usually causes some level of learning disability and a range of physical features. Most babies born with Down syndrome are diagnosed after birth and will be likely to have hypotonia which is reduced muscle tone leading to floppiness, eyes that slant upwards and outwards, palmar crease which is when their palm may have only one crease across it, a below average weight and length at birth.
In order for the infant to grow up normally, they should experience a warm, intimate, and continuous relationship with its mother. If a parent fails to do this, it will cause people to be a victim of psychological disorders. Children that have attachment problems may have difficulty concentrating, be impulsive, and experience difficulty in school. A detachment problem has been linked to a lot of antisocial behaviors that includes sexual assault and child abuse. These three theories are alike because all of them starts in early childhood and continues to adulthood.
The ‘medical’ model looks at the child for a diagnosis such as ADHD or depression. It sees the problem as being inherent to the child. Medication or behavioural therapy may be prescribed to modify the child’s behaviour [Woodhead, M et al 2005]. Alternatively there is the ‘social environment’ perspective. In this model the causes of the child’s disturbed behaviour are sought in their daily surroundings- poor or abusive parenting, neglect or lack of discipline in school.
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 . Also they are the ones to look after the child and will be the first to pick up if a problem was to come up like a illness. The environment in which the child I living is influenced by the parent as there are the ones who provide a home for the child so they decided if the child lives in a safe area. If the parent's are rich or poor will have an affect on the child, as a child from a rich
If a child, like in the case of Jordan, (K101, DVD, Unit 5, video 5.1) is removed from this attachment figure at a young age, it can have a big effect on their development (K101, Unit 5, p31); this is because children use their attachment figure to learn about their selves, relationships and also as a secure base for exploring to develop physical and social interaction skills. (Bretherton, 1992 quoted in K101, unit 5, pp28-29) An example of how a child service user can be affected by not
At settings, the key person will have warm and affectionate bond with babies and children but they do not replace the parents and if the key person has a long term illness so two people will care for a child in the setting. The Early Years Foundation stage states that all settings must put the key person approach into practice. The key person system is someone who has a child assigned to them and has more contact than other staff members and has a relationship with the child and parents and also cater to the child’s needs by changing their nappies and answers to their needs and emotions. (3.2) Explain how babies and children learn and develop best from a basis of loving, secure relationships with carers and with key person in work settings The significance of warming and secure relationships – babies and children start to understand and make sense of the world around them by using their cry so that the parent or carer can quickly respond to their needs and also have a loving and secure relationship with the baby. These relationships are vital as in setting and home and babies that do not have a loving and
The first adopts a psychodynamic approach and refers to a child’s anxiety when separated from a primary care giver. This commonly refers to the mother to who the child has formed a strong emotional attachment. It can be said to occur when a child begins to comprehend that they are separate beings to that of their
People with antisocial disorder will act instead of feel; they find it difficult to talk about their personal emotional experiences. The feelings of helpless and a scared victim during childhood stage makes them want to scare and victimize others when they grow up (Hansel & Damour, 2008). Furthermore, the psychodynamic aspect also delves into analyzing early childhood attachments of individuals with antisocial personality disorder. Gabbard (2000) stated that “normal parent-child attachment paves the way for the internalization of a morally guiding superego and the ability to empathize with others. People with antisocial personality disorder show abnormal superego functioning and a lack of empathic ability to imagine how others feel, presumably due to disrupted parent-child relationships” (Hansel & Damour, 2008, p.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER IN KIDS (www.helpguide.com) I believe that if I could create a risk programs it can help parents know if their child really does have ADHD. Today there are some many students that are being missed diagnosed. This program can help ensure parents that if their child l has ADHD there is a program that is meeting for them and they can get help and information. My nephew has ADHD and I know that my sister has trouble with dealing with him and his side effects. I know that if she had a program like this around she could ask question on why he acts the way he dose after the medicine wears off.
Child Custody The biggest question that divorcing parents face is who is going to retain custody of the children after the divorce and what role will the other parent play and to what extent. Most parents stress about the outcome of the child and how the divorce will also affect the child. Prior to the 1970’s most mothers were awarded majority of the custody, in the 1970’s research began to show that it was more beneficial for a child to have equal time with both parents, if they are both “fit and loving” (Demo & Fine, 2010, p.66). Although laws have changed to provide father’s more time and access to their child/ children research does show that although some divorced noncustodial fathers become closer to their children after the divorce, the majority greatly reduce their involvement with their children (Bokker, 2006). This is more harmful to the child’s wellbeing on many different levels.
