...The first time a child leave the comfort of his home and family, to go to a childcare setting is a big step for him. In order to cushion the impact on the child we must prepare in proper manner. We will state, while observing the natural evolution of the little man/woman from birth, his/her primary needs, and then focus on the stage of three years old. We will explain the ‘physical and psychological security needs’ (McLeod, 2013) of the child and how all these needs can be met on a childcare setting. Then we will reveal the spirit that we need to spread into a childcare setting and the way of being with children to get his trust, support him, to get him to succeed and so gain his self-esteem which is the "key to fulfilling potential"(Macleod, 2008, P122). When the little man/woman comes into the world, his/her needs appear to him/her straight away. He/she breathes fresh air and feels that he/she needs to keep going that way, he/she feels cold and needs to feel warm and his/her dad dresses him, he/she feels hungry and thirsty and his/her mum feed him, then he/she wants to rest and sleep and want a place to do it, and his/her parents give him a bed in their house. At that stage of his/her life the child is not able to satisfy himself/herself his/her needs, he/she is forced to let his/her parents accomplish these tasks and he/she will help them to understand his/her needs in crying to communicate. The child builds his/her trust from birth as his/her parent has fulfilled all...

...When a child comes into this world as a dependant, adults have a responsibility to support a child’s growth. Adults must provide children with a safe environment where their physical and psychological needs can be met, enabling them to grow into healthy secure beings. This thesis explores the physical and psychological needs of a three year old child, and how they can be met in a childcare setting in order to promote successful mental development. In the following writings these needs will be explained. It will be examined how these needs can benefit a child in their development and how individuals can be motivated whilst looking at the UK childcare standards of the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage. What are physical and psychological needs? To understand how one can support a child’s mental growth, the physical and psychological needs of a child must be identified. As will be shown in the following writings, these needs are both of equal importance. Physical needs are the basic rights and requirements that every human being needs to survive. Included in these needs are water, food, fresh air, shelter, a safe environment, rest, and a healthy diet, to name a few. Water and food are important for physical development as they strengthen a human’s immune system, and together with a healthy balanced diet promote physical growth and development of individuals. As a growing three year old child actively interacts with their environment these physical...

...Physical and psychological needs of a child relate to the basic needs a child requires to grow to a physically, socially and emotionally healthy adult. This essay looks into the basic physical and psychological needs of a child and then those of a three year old child to understand what needs to be met to allow a three year old to develop in a naturally healthy way. Based on these needs, we then discuss how they can be ideally met in a childcare setting and the requirements for a childcare setting under the Early Years Foundation Stage Statutory Framework. Physical needs of a child relate to the needs a child requires physically to grow and to develop to a healthy adult. They include fresh air to breathe, water, adequate food and minerals to maintain nutrition, shelter and warmth, protection from accidents and injury, personal hygiene, physical exercise, rest and sleep, promotion of good health and protection from illness (Montessori Centre International, 2011). In terms of the physical needs of a three year old, these include suitable nourishment, age appropriate exercise, rest and sleep, playing and learning, hygiene and health and safety. First of all, a healthy and well-balanced diet is essential to help a three year grow. The essential nutrients of a balanced diet include carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals.

...on is called Jordon Hill. He is three years old and is an only child. Both his parents work therefore he attends Childs play nursery. Although Jordon’s parents are busy with work, they both try to spend as much time as a family together as possible for example family dinners, and Saturday night movies. Jordon looks forward to these quality times, as he knows his parents are mostly busy. Jordon likes to play with his parents but understands when they are busy. He loves to play with his bike in the garden, and also the trampoline. He also enjoys his favourite blue toy car and his building blocks. Jordon’s hobby is playing football with his father. Jordon does not suffer from any medical issues or diseases; however he is allergic to egg which means that the nursery cook and staff need to ensure that they are extra careful with what they feed him. Overall this isn’t a great concern and other than that he is a healthy boy. Task 1: 1. Education through play: Schools & nurseries offer a wide range of services in order to stimulate the children. It also gives them a chance to interact with others whilst learning and gaining new skills. The most important and one of the main services is education through play.

This is aimed at all the children who attend Childs Play Nursery as they are given...

...persons who inspire love and affection and bring happiness and security in the twilight years of parents. Interestingly, children are seen as links to immortality because children pass on from one generation to another the family’s name, history, and heritage. Often, children are portrayed as being nurtured and properly attended to in their homes; however, Filipino children are not as secure and protected as they are ideally portrayed. The increasing number of street children who work on the streets or beg for alms from pedestrians and motorists belie such an idealized portrayal. Street children, among other things, are the most palpable reminder that all is not well with Filipino children. Reality reveals the many children who are denied even the most minimum of needs like food, love, nurturance, stability, security, and stimulating learning environment that will allow for their healthy development. Many Filipino children are rushed into maturity because early on in their lives, they are forced to contend with difficult problems and to take on adult roles and responsibilities. Media and popular and academic literature, more than any other time, has brought to our attention the plight of children, be they street children or not, who perform adult roles and who are in need of the basic components of a healthy family life. 2 Bautista, Roldan & Garces-Bacsal Reports of child abuse are also on the rise. Often, abused children have to deal, on their own, with...

I Explain why a stressor might produce different stress levels in two people. I Discuss the physiological, psychological, and behavioural effects of stress. I Identify five ways to manage workplace stress. S ylvia Noreen thought that working at a small hospital in Prince Edward Island would reduce the stress she had experienced as a nurse in Ontario for 17 years. Instead, she discovered that Stewart Memorial Hospital nurses in Tyne Valley also experience unacceptable stress levels due to budget cuts and staff shortages. “There can be a lot of demands made on you,” says Noreen. “The workload can get quite strenuous at times.” With no vacations during her first year at Stewart, Noreen’s scheduled days off were precious time to recharge her batteries. Unfortunately, those moments were fewer than she had hoped. “We’re faced with being called back on our days off,” Noreen says. “It is trying at times.” Canadian nurses and other health care workers are feeling some of the highest levels of stress and burnout of any occupation across the country. With Montreal-area emergency rooms filled to 167 percent, nurses at St. Luc Hospital in Montreal recently...

...Promiscuity- A Self-Destructive Behavior in Correlation with a Lack of Paternal Authority: A Single Case Study Rebecca M Bauman 2015 MAR LIB-495-GS001 Abstract Paternal authority, according to the existing literature, is of upmost importance to the healthy psychosexual development of a child. Women who were raised with a lack of paternal authority can often face significant setbacks when dealing with everyday life issues. Promiscuity as a self-destructive behavior has substantial consequences often resulting in mental and physical suffering. This qualitative single case study was designed to explore the correlation of promiscuity- as a self-destructive behavior with women who were raised in single-mother households where there was a lack of paternal authority. A single intrinsic case study was used to explore one woman’s battle with promiscuity. The data obtained formed a narrative generated by the triangulation of psychoanalytical therapy sessions, a client intake form and the woman’s journal. A case analysis was performed and later reviewed by an attending mental health clinician. The results indicated the woman manifests the self-destructive behavior of promiscuity at the expense of poor self-esteem which directly correlates with a lack of paternal authority. The disruption of the woman’s psychosexual development in childhood negatively altered her self-image. The woman uses transference in her intimate relationships as a desperate attempt to gain control of her...

The 'missing girls' is a huge problem in India today – some villages does not even have women at all. (Subhra Singh, The Times of India feb. 8th 2011, from the cencus in 2001) Sex selection in India is at a growing rate, and according to the census held in 2001, the sex ratio (number of females per thousand males) shows that there are great varieties in the numbers – from the lowest, with 591 (Daman) to the highest, Pondicherry, which has 1,147 females per 1000 males. The average sex ratio for whole of India the same year was 927 to 1000 – and the numbers are still increasing. (Sabu George, 'Hidden Genocide', 2007). These numbers, linked to the prevalence of female infanticide and foeticide in Indian states, is a clear indication of violence against women and children. In this paper, we will focus on and explain the practices of female infanticide and foeticide in India, more precisely in area of Tamil Nadu and...
