The ASQ-3 27 month questionnaire was utilized according to the child’s age at the time of testing, June 09, 2017. The child’s mother completed the questionnaire with the child’s interaction by having the child try each activity before marking a response to the questionnaire. According to Squires and Bricker et al., (2009), the questionnaire scores were greater within the normal range although a few areas were borderline for interventions. The recommendations were verbalized to the parents and parental areas of concern addressed to follow up with the child’s next pediatrician visit, which is February, 2018. According to Squires et al., (2009), Activities for Children 30-36 Months Old, recommendations
A two year assessment is carried out between the ages of two and three. Parents/carers/guardians are provided with a short written summary of the child’s development in the prime areas. Within the progress
Three different measurements were taken before and after the study. They included, pain intensity, disability, and quality of life. Pain was taken using a visual analog scale (VAS) which ranges from 0 to 10; 0 equaling no pain at all and 10 equaling the worst pain ever felt. Disability was taken using the Neck Disability Index (NDI). The NDI consisted of 10 items and were scored using percentages, the higher the percentage the higher the disability. And lastly, quality of life was taken using the Medical Outcome Study Short-Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36). Scores in SF-36 ranged from 0 to 100 and the higher the patients number got, the better quality of life.
Having had a child who has experienced several hospital visits and interventions, I know firsthand how these can have an impact on development and in particular Socially, Emotionally and Behaviourally. My daughter was diagnosed at 6 months with Hip Dysplasia (when a child’s hip is not formed correctly). She underwent a simple procedure under aesthetic and was placed in rings splints for several months. At this young age she found the experience
Evaluating the Center For Young Children Day care (CFYC) in UMD, I have to say I am happy that there are a lot of programs to help kids grow up to be healthy. This is the time where children need to explore and and mae discovery in their little adventure.Though the synaptogenesis of the brain have diminished, the production of the Prefrontal cortex is still being developed (L. Levine, J. Munsch Children's Development from infancy to Adolescence, page 261). There are unique activities that help each child develop skill. The CFYC has a card game where they gather children together and do what the card says. One of these card is an “exercise card” in which the adult and children do that exercise. It can consist of squats or jumping jacks. It is
The first activity that parents can introduce to their children to help promote physical, cognitive, and social development is to give them access to toys that promote mental and physical development as they grow older. A second activity that can help promote physical development is to allow them greater independence as they grow and not stop them from taking minor risks. The third activity that can help promote both their mental and physical development is to make sure that you are communicating with them instead of just taking care of their needs. A fourth activity to help promote your children's cognitive development is to let infants and toddlers solve their own problems if the problem does not include a significant risk of harm to the

The ASQ (Ages and Stages Questionnaires) is a series of questionnaires that is completed by parents of the infant or child, Preschool educators, Kindergarten teachers, and Day Care Providers. The ASQ is designed to screen the developmental performance of children in the areas of communication, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, problem solving, personal-social skills, and overall development across time. The age-appropriate scale is completed by the parent of the infant or child, Preschool educators, Kindergarten teachers, and Day Care Providers. The items on the scale represent behaviors that the child should be able to perform at that age.
Because of research Physical development is part of the three prime areas of learning in the EYFS, joining Communication and Language and Personal, Social and Emotional Development, these three areas are particularly important for the learning development of the under threes, this will Secure the foundations for future success in all aspects of their life and learning. Early year’s providers and practitioners are required to enable their environments to ensure that they are giving the children quality experiences and resources to allow them to naturally learn and develop the physical skills necessary to support them throughout their lives. At our nursery we follow the EYFS guidelines which give us the approximate age and what the child should be able to do or aiming towards and what us, as practitioners should be supporting the child to achieve or help them to move on to the next stage. Providing Physical play experiences for the children such as books to explore, messy play, painting, climbing equipment and balls and other equipment to throw, kick and catch will give the children opportunities for moving and handling.
Social History: Child is active and involves with his peers on the playground for sports and other activities without difficulty, denies having any chest pain, dizziness or shortness of breath during activities. Denies having any history of poor feeding or failure to thrive.
The staff has an understanding that timing is crucial in a young child’s life, a child will not retain information after a certain age, so it is important to address issues when they are detected rather than wait and cause more problems later on down the line. The structured daily routines are generally the same unless it is a holiday or a day to celebrate birthdays, so I will not include any of these special events.
The methods used to collect data for this focus study include both five observations of the focus child during play and notes from an informal conversation with the focus child’s mother. These methods were used in conjunction with one another as they compliment each other within research. This is because a particular strength of observations lies in the researcher being able to clearly see and identify what the child is doing instead of gaining this information from the child or parent which could be open to interpretation or other modifiers (McDevitt, Ellis Ormrod, Cupid, Chandler, & Aloa, 2013). Utilising the informal conversation in conjunction with the observations ensured that I could still obtain the mothers perspective on her child and was useful as a confirmation of my research question after my initial observations lead me to focus on the general area of C.W’s physical development and play. Deciding to only use anecdotal observations stemmed from McDevitt et al. (2013) that “the kind of observations we conduct depend on what we hope to gain from watching and listening to children” (50) and as the research focus question centres on helping to “identify individual needs” (51) much the same as anecdotal observations I decided they would be the most appropriate research method.
CYP CORE 3.1 (3.4) How different types of interventions can promote positive outcomes for children and young people where development is not following the expected pattern.
The Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children, Second Edition (KABC-II) is a revision of the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (KABC) (Braden & Thorndike, 2005). Alan S. Kaufman and Nadeen L. Kaufman authored both renditions of the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children. The KABC was developed in 1970 – 1980 and published in 1983, whereas, the KABC-II was published in 2004 (Braden & Thorndike, 2005). The major differences between the KABC and the KABC-II is that initially there were 16 subtests, but during the revision only eight of those subtests remained while ten new subtests were added (McGill, 2015). In addition, the revision included strengthening theoretical foundations, increasing the number of constructs measured, enhancing test clinical utilities, developing tests that fairly assess children from minority groups, and enhancing fair assessment of preschoolers (Braden & Thorndike, 2005).
In order to improve one’s health and quality of life, it is important to be aware of an individual’s health status. Our textbook authors, Meeks, Hait & Paige (2009) describe the importance of self-appraisals and health behavior inventories in teaching students about their practices that will impact their health. In order to become an effective teacher who is enthusiastic about health education, the author of this paper focuses on gaining a comprehensive understanding of her health.
The modern medical world has certain idea about how children are supposed to develop. There are certain ages that children are supposed to do certain things by. When I had my child, I didn’t know any of them and I still don’t. My daughter’s doctor would ask me questions about how her progress with walking and talking was going. I know that delayed walking and talking can be signs of serious illness so it is a good thing they keep an eye on it. My daughter was talking with simple words like “Hi!” by the time she was six months old. She was walking by the time she was ten months old. Her doctors seemed satisfied with her progress.
