...Self Awareness This paper will discuss the vulnerable population of child abuse caused by the children’s parents. It will include a description of the populations’ demographic based on research of professional literature. It will also include the description of my personal awareness of population before studying the demographics. It will state the effect of research on personal attitudes after gathering knowledge. It will then describe how knowledge might affect health care delivery. Finally, I will use self-reflection to evaluate my perception before and after learning about the population (University of Phoenix, 2013). Description of the Population’s Demographic The population’s demographic affected by the child abuse by parents, are both the parents and the children. Children affected by parental child abuse are a vulnerable population because often time children do not know who to seek help from. The children demographic are affected greatly because many times children feel that they do not want to get their parents in trouble because of the abuse. Children abused by parents are often considered a social problem, which is often silent. “Child abuse and neglect by parents remains a salient social problem, thus warranting a continued evaluation of measurement tools used to assess child abuse potential” (Merritt, 2009, para. 2). The populations of children being abused by their own parents are actually at a high percentage. “Approximately 40 percent of child victims were maltreated...

...attachment-based programs, such as Connect, help parents reconnect with their teenage children and help them understand what they need. The chapter by Moretti, Pasalich, & O'Donnell (2017) went into detail about the Connect program, along with adolescence history, session structure, and empirical evidence for the program. This chapter is based off of previous research on Connect by Moretti et al. (2012). They wrote an experimental research paper on how the Connect program works and the changes that it generates in parent-teen communication and in a parent-teen relationship. In both cases, the readings demonstrated that attachment-based interventions work with teenagers....

...corporal punishment could have the student back in the classroom within thirty minutes or less whereas suspension from school would have the student missing several days of in class instruction. Some proponents of corporal punishment even quote Bible scripture to sever as a reason for corporal punishment, such as the passage from Proverbs 22:15: “Foolishness is bound up in the heart of the child; the rod of correction will drive it far from him.” There is no clear evidence that such punishment leads to better control in classroom. The vast amount of evidence concludes that corporal punishment is an ineffective method of discipline. Further, this discipline has major harmful effects on those who have been disciplined in this manner. The American Academy of Pediatrics did a 10-year study ending in 2013, which was recorded in the Position Statement of the Society for Adolescent Medicine, which concluded that punished children become more rebellious and are more likely to demonstrate vindictive behavior, seeking retribution against school officials and others in society.

This paper presents disruptive behavior in young behaviors in young children which includes Attention Deficit Disorder that consist of being hyper all day whether they in school or they are at home. The new method that they find out if a child has a behavior problem is to distinct between normative behavior and a typical behavior during their growth years. During their growth years while they are in preschool years they act out their developmental period that they starting to develop autonomy. A big deal of different behavior changes that fall under the Rubric outgoing behavior. Some children have Attention Deficit Disorder and don’t even know it until they are tested by their Physician. Most children in preschool mock other children and they pick up everything that other children are doing and also what they have learned to speak. Parents always asked themselves can you teach a young child or children to manage to manage their own behavior. According to (McDavis,2007) you can teach them self-management to pay attention to the oneself behavior and also to complete activities using effective appropriate behavior. You basically have to ask yourself like I did when I had preschoolers and elementary school age children. Is the child able to make different accurate self –assessments to her or his behavior then you need to ask yourself is the child’s current level of self-managing. Most children who are treated for acting out for having behavior problems...

...Assessment Task 1 – Promoting child & adolescent health outcomes in Australia. Select one priority direction from the list: Improving the social and emotion wellbeing of young Australians. Written By Danielle Jones Student ID: 210609 Unit Code: 530 Unit Name: Bachelor of Health Unit Coordinator: Lindsay Smith Due Date: 16th April 2014 Improving the social and emotional wellbeing of young Australians. Children and young people’s wellbeing has become a somewhat ubiquitous, complex and politically imbued field (Ereaut & Whiting, 2008; Fattore, Mason & Watson, 2007; Noble, 2008; Rose & Rowland, 2010), with social and emotional wellbeing variously described in terms of mental health, resilience, psychosocial competence and the like. While the discourse of wellbeing is now widely appropriated as a way of capturing our aspirations for children and young people, the term itself is poorly defined and under-theorised (Griffiths & Cooper, 2005; Hamilton & Redmond, 2010; McAuley & Rose, 2010; Noble, 2008). There is a significant instability and ambiguity around the term ‘wellbeing’ both in public policy and popular discourse. Ereaut and Whiting (2008) contend that signals a shifting set of meanings, that is, it represents what is collectively agreed by a group or number of groups constituting the Aristotelian notion of ‘the good life’. In similar vein, Ryan and Deci (2001, p.141) propose that wellbeing is a complex construct that concerns optimal...

...August 2011 Abstract This paper explores various treatment options for children and adolescents with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. The outcome of previous research was reviewed showing the effects on children and adolescents with ADHD when the method of treatment was pharmacology and when the method of treatment was pharmacology along with behavior modification. Behavior modification refers to programs that were administered in an academic environment or behavior programs that were part of psychotherapy. This paper specifically addresses the academic effects of treatment with medication, the effects of treatment with medication and behavior modification, and the effects of treatment with behavior modification alone. Keywords: ADHD; children; adolescents; behavioral; academic; treatment Effective Treatment for Children and Adolescents with ADHD Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a complex mental disorder that is controversial because of its method of diagnosis and detection. Children and adolescents with ADHD generally have difficulty concentrating, finishing tasks, controlling behavior, acting impulsively, and being overactive. Managing youth with ADHD can be difficult for parents, teachers and others that have direct contact with the child or adolescent. Medication is one of the most common first lines of treatment used to manage and alleviate the symptoms of ADHD in children and adolescents, but professional research has shown that medication...

...How Children View Group Ownership in a Family Setting Matthew Seanor Florida International University How Children View Group Ownership in a Family Setting The research study that I have chosen to analyze was a study conducted with young children to see how they understand the limits and the benefits of group ownership. The study was conducted with 540 children with their ages varying from 3 to 6 (Huh 2017). These children were from an area that is mostly middle class, with 79% of the region being Caucasian (Huh 2017). The researchers chose to show how children comprehend the concept of group ownership by conducting six experiments with different age ranges. There is a plethora of research studies that deal with young children and group settings. However, most researchers fail to see how children view group ownership. In this paper, I will analyze how this study on Children and Group Ownership, specifically with family, was conducted. The study that I will analyze specifically deals with how children ownership of objects in a family setting. The researcher used 60 children for this study, 20 three year olds, 20 four year olds, and 20 five year olds (Huh 2017). First, the researcher made sure that the child could point out his or her individual family members along with a full family photo. After the researcher...

...of the health care provider not to disclose information. Within this paper I am going to discuss the confidentiality in regards to minors of how it affects them, relate to the facts, discuss the ethical/ legal issues, explain the managerial responsibilities and identify the proposed solutions. When dealing with confidentiality in the healthcare profession the acting provider does not suppose to disclose information. Take minors for example; they are protected under (FERPA) Family Educational Rights Privacy Act. FERPA has been known to protect minors in regards to educational purposes, important files, documents, photography and etc. After the minor reaches the age of 18 their rights are then transferred to them from their parent. Confidentiality is very risky and complicated when dealing with a minor, social workers and other persons involved are very cautious when giving out information about minors. Reasons being is because children as minors go through so much in regards to mental abuse, sexual abuse and physical abuse so keeping important documents and files confidential is mandatory. The arguments used in this particular article was the use of plenty surveys and mental health professionals providing detailed information resulting from on hands experience themselves and research. Mental health counselors see minor clients most often at the request or interest of someone else (Slovenko, 1998.) Research has suggested that minor clients are sometimes reluctant to enter counseling...

...issues are often caused by external conditions, such as poverty, unhealthy living conditions and a negative home life. Some behavioral issues are a direct cause of mental health problems, but for this study, we will not look at the mental health issues that cause behavior issues. A growing body of research has examined the cause of youth violence, among peers and parental relationships. The world we are living in today is full of violent images; from video games to movies, even much of today’s music can promote a violent message. There are other external influences that can also influence many children’s behaviors; such as impoverishment, inferior living conditions, inadequate housing, which often leads to illicit activities; such as drug and alcohol abuse and other criminal activities. In this research study, we will try to answer several questions the effects of violent images, or video games may have on our youth today. We will also examine if coming from a broken home has any direct correlation on the behavior of the child or children? This paper will examine several studies on this subject in the hopes of discovering the possible solutions to the questions raised in this paper. * Do violent images, video games, etc. influence children’s behavior? * Does coming from a broken, or abusive home, etc. influence children’s behavior? * Do children raised in a typical two parent household have an advantage over those raised in single family households? * Can coming...

...Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder Abstract Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder is one of the most common disorders diagnosed among children. This research paper will discuss causes, symptoms, recent studies, and treatment for ADHD and how to manage it. The main problem that most people have about the disorder is their lack of awareness, and education. ADHD is the grouping of many symptoms and causes many children, as well as adults, to struggle in areas of school, work, and in their personal lives. Finding these symptoms based on these causes is vital in finding out whether or not a child has ADHD. The handling of a child with this disorder can affect him/her in the moment as well as down the road. Patience is a key factor in being able to raise a child with ADHD along with support, concern, and adaption. This paper will talk about the different treatment types and different positive reinforcements needed to help the child adapt to ADHD, and fit in with their peers. With improved education, awareness and ability to maintain Attention Deficit/ Hyperactive disorder, the easier it will be to help get children and adults through the disorder’s constraints and allow them to have a normal life. Everyone remembers the one child in class that is constantly acting out and never stops talking but what most people do not understand is why. ADHD affects many children around the world. This disorder is defined as an attentional disorder involving distractibility, hyperactivity...

...approach to learning emphasizes the fact that individuals perceive and process information in very different ways. The learning styles theory implies that how much individuals learn has more to do with whether the educational experience is geared toward their particular style of learning than whether or not they are “smart.” In fact, educators should not ask, “Is this student smart?” but rather “How is this student smart?” Discussion The concept of learning styles is rooted in the classification of psychological types. The learning styles theory is based on research demonstrating that, as the result of heredity, upbringing, and current environmental demands, different individuals have a tendency to both perceive and process information differently. The different ways of doing so are generally classified as: 1. Concrete and abstract perceivers–Concrete perceivers absorb information through direct experience, by doing, acting, sensing, and feeling. Abstract perceivers, however, take in information through analysis, observation, and thinking. 2. Active and reflective processors–Active processors make sense of an experience by immediately using the new information. Reflective processors make sense of an experience by reflecting on and thinking about it. Traditional schooling tends to favor abstract perceiving and reflective processing. Other kinds of learning aren’t rewarded and reflected in curriculum, instruction, and assessment nearly as much. How the Learning Styles Theory...

...Abstract This paper reviews the interrelationship among family structure, patterns of single parent decision making and deviant behavior among adolescents. It reviews family income and non custodial parent involvement. Patterns of family decision making and family structure both have a significant effect on adolescent deviance behavior. Data on the child’s behavior, the child’s life at home, and parental relation with the child are collected through self reports. Understanding the family structure can have an important role in the intervention and prevention of deviant behavior in the child. More parental monitoring was associated with less delinquency in a single parent household. We examine family structure including two parent families, single mother families, single father families, and stepfamilies. This paper addresses the implications of different theories and findings designed to reduce deviance. Single Parent Home Effect on Adolescence Deviant behavior among youth has increased in the United States (Steinberg, 1987). According to the Nature and Meaning of Deviance (2008), Deviant behavior is described as actions or behaviors that violate cultural norms including enacted rules and social norms. This paper will examine the social factors associated with deviant behavior among juveniles. It will explore the correlation, if any, between single parent homes and the rise in deviant behavior in juveniles. The two...
