First, the Human Genome Project popularized the thought of altering children’s genes. The Human Genome Project was a 13 year project, starting in 1990 and ending in 2003. According to a website called Human Genome Project Information, in the article “About the Human Genome Project” they list all of the project goals as to “identify all the approximately 20,000-25,000 genes in human DNA, determine the sequences of the 3 billion chemical base pairs that make up human DNA, store this information in databases, improve tools for data analysis, transfer related technologies to the private sector, and address the ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI) that may arise from the project.” These goals are very important for the advancement of figuring out how to test and prevent unborn children from serious, fatal, genetic diseases. This project has been very successful, and helped save a lot of children’s/people’s lives. It served as an important part of history to help and change genetics of children.
P4 – Explain possible responses when dealing with two particular incidents or emergencies in health or social care setting D2- justify responses to a particular incident or emergency in a health and social care setting. The two incidents I have decided to explain are abuse and fire emergency. Case study 1: within a nursery (play group) there was a child; who is normally jolly and excited, but one day this child seemed very unhappy, distraught and upset; he was looking very tearful. I tried to get him to play with the other children but he kept refusing to do so, he shut his self from everyone in the room, he distanced himself by sitting much further away. I started to believe that he may be feeling unwell but this was not the case.
Assimilation is interpreting one's new experience in terms of one's existing schemas. On the other hand accommodation is modifying one's schemas in response to new experiences. Suppose that a 15-month-old toddler has learned to call the four-legged house pet
Though they begin to trust in these reactions, they still are not officially attached. • From 6-8 until somewhere between 18-24month, infants enter into phase three also is known as the “clear-cut” attachment phase. During this time there should be evidence in the infant’s behavior of attachment to their primary care givers. This attachment is proved by the serration anxiety that is experienced by most infants this age, it seems that it is at its worst somewhere between 6 and 15 months. Just like adults, all infants react differently in different situations and this is no different, some infants do not experience separation anxiety while
Bowlby noted the apparent distress in children separated from their mothers in unusual circumstances e.g. hospitalisation. In studying the more abnormal and distressing situations he attempted to shed light on an understanding of normal emotional attachment development, and how a disruption could prove damaging to the child emotionally and through to adult maturation. Bowlby suggested that the presence of the mother was just as crucial to the baby as being supplied basic needs such as food. His conclusions led him to postulate that the distress at separation from the mother was universal in babies.
(Cassidy, p646) (*check these) 3 large scale reviews in last 10 years tells us a lot about how we should teach literacy: •National Reading Panel (NICHHD, 2000) •National Inquiry into the Teaching of Literacy (DEST, 2005) •Independent Review of the Teaching of Early Reading in the UK (Rose, 2006) The essay will then continue to look at how each of the five pillars are taught in conjunction with the Australian Curriculum’s Year One English content, and will address the importance of explicit teaching of components, and varying classroom instructional procedures. Define and describe the five pillars of reading (20 marks) Phonological awareness “Phonological awareness is defined as the ability to understand the phonological structure of a language, regardless of the semantic meaning of the word.” And Phonological awareness has been identified as a crucial precursor ability for writing and reading competences. (Frohlich… 2013, p6) Phonological awareness is sensitivity to the sound structure of language. It demands the ability to turn one’s attention to sounds in spoken language while temporarily shifting away from its meaning. … Children who can detect and manipulate sounds in speech are phonologically aware.
For example, like an infant, I am a bundle of emotions, which cause me to feel anger, fear, and sadness in a break-up. The emotional attachment in which we conceived was emotional attachment between my boyfriend and i was the first interactive relationship I had and i believe it depended on the nonverbal communication. However, I believe that whatever childhood fore relationships and be felt throughout our life. Perhaps, one of the reasons was because it established a foundation for nonverbal and verbal communications in our future relationships. Independent people who experience broken hearted or emotional communications while being an infant mostly grow into adults who have a harsh time understanding their emotions and the feelings they have for others.
After nine months – multiple attachment; the baby becomes increasingly independent and forms several attachments. Schaffer and emersons study also showed that the most important fact in forming attachments is not who feeds and changes the child, but who plays and communicates with him or her most (Hardy, S. 1995). Other theorists have proposed a number of factors that are believed to be important in forming attachments; John Bowlby was a psychoanalyst and was very influenced by the ethological theory; bowlby believed that attachment
Children quickly interpret death as an inappropriate topic of conversation with adults (as evidenced by adults’ reactions when children try to discuss it), whereas other children are eager to share information about it. Like the topic of sex, terminally ill kids learn to safely discuss their prognosis where adults cannot hear them. In effect, with regard to certain topics, children are socialized to act secretively around adults and openly around their peers. Bluebond-Langner reminds us that by age three, children can understand that they have a terminal illness. She notes that all children, sick or well, from age three onward, fantasize and are concerned about dying.
The concern that was voiced;” Does Medicare still pay for the flu shot?” Information was provided on how Medicare was billed and most residents were satisfied with the answer. This patient population was prepared to sign the consent and fill out the insurance portion, get their shot and be on their way. The memory impaired living facility consisted of caregivers bringing the residents to the clinic with the appropriate forms filled out by the residents medical power of attorney. The paid care givers concerns were voiced. The wanted to know what side effects should the care givers expect, if any.
