There is a need to identify the level and type of support an individual requires when eating and drinking. Any support while eating or drinking is to be provided respecting the service user’s human dignity, while the carer is exhibiting warmth and a calm attitude. The care plan informs whether the service user is able to feed him/herself, or needs assistance. Many service users will feed themselves when starting their meal, but will get tired and will then require assistance. The hands of service users with Parkinson’s may have to be gently directed so that they manage eating independently. The carer may need to cut the food for the service user. Service users with chewing difficulties, or swallowing precautions, or a history of choking need to be supervised while eating. Of course, these service users will also get a soft diet. Service users living with dementia may reject food which to them resembles to gruesome things (e.g., they may think meat bits in a dark sauce are cocroaches), therefore person-centered support is important. Service users with learning disabilities may find it hard to estimate distances, so the carer will make sure plates and glasses are well within their reach.

An increasing number of students today are showing more signs of anxiety, stress, and ADHD. A solution to the issue is allowing children to chew gum while in the classroom. Evidence shows that the process of chewing gum increases the blood flow to the brain and heart as well as increases saliva in the mouth, which gives the individual certain advantages. Students should be allowed to chew gum while in the classroom because they demonstrate increased memory and alertness, higher test scores and concentration, as well as decreased stress and anxiety (Pooley, Smith).

Being in the presence of one who chews with an open mouth is difficult. In the event that a friend or acquaintance of mine is smacking their lips and not eating properly, it is a struggle for me to even be around that person. A very dear friend of mine eats his food with an open mouth. While I am very close to this friend, being with him while he eats makes me want to scream and immediately leave his side. No matter the person nor the situation, chewing on food with an open mouth is a horrendous behavior.

In the experiment group, children were asked to postpone their desire to eat marshmallow for ten minutes, but they were notified how much time left to hold their

Paired-stimulus preference assessment. Separate paired-stimulus preference assessment (Fisher et al., 1992) will be conducted to identify preferred edible reinforcers for each participant. Between 12-16 stimuli were used for the assessment. Items were identified through parental reports and previous preference assessment conducted with behavioral teams. Before the assessment begins the participants will get to sample each piece of each type of food. Items will then be presented in pairs in which the therapist will tell them what both items are and then prompt them to “choose one”. Choice of an item will be defined as reaching towards or asking for an item. For edible reinforcers they will be allowed to consume the food chosen. If a participant

Risk of choking- If a individual is on a soft diet or unable to eat certain food as they are at risk of choking monitoring a individuals food intake will help staff tackle the problem before it a occurs and if it does happen know what the problem it and how to deal with it

For my experiment on breaking norms, I choose to chew with my mouth open in the Clinton Dining Hall, and Subway’s eating area. I was very nervous to break this norm because I was brought up knowing that eating with my mouth open was not polite in public. I felt that maybe people would get

The 2016-17 school year at Cooper Middle School brought forth many changes within the school, including the ability to chew gum. Principal Robert Gurney said that “decades of students have been asking for this opportunity” when he spoke to the 8th grade class on the first day. Most people were overjoyed at learning this news, and have already jumpstarted their gum-chewing. There are a few conditions, though: gum is not allowed in the music room, band/orchestra room, gyms, or cooking lab, all for obvious reasons. However, this hasn’t seemed to put a damper on students’ feelings towards the new policy. “The new gum chewing policy seems to be helping students concentrate more in the classroom.” These wise words came from an anonymous CMS student,

The typical first grade classroom is an atmosphere filled with some children that are a more active than others. These children are the bunch that cannot sit still, are louder, and more disruptive. Meanwhile the other children are fixated on schoolwork, sitting attentively and quietly. This brought along two research experiments by Dr. Madison and Dr. Johnson. In one experiment we will be exposed to a correlation in which sugar intake is mathematically proven to affect activity levels. While the other experiment shows no significant evidence that sugary snacks plague activity levels. Both however, attempt to decipher why children are more rambunctious than others and whether sugar intake influenced this behavior.

There must be some caution as if a child has developmental delays then there must be some management of what he/she can play with to ensure that there is no risk of them chocking but also risk of them hurting themselves .

In Piaget’s Stages of Cognitive Development, this would be sensorimotor (where newborns to age two experience the world through senses and actions). In a child’s life it is a key developmental stage. Putting toys and other household objects in their mouth lets them discover the taste and texture of different objects. It also could be a sign that your child is starting to teeth. As far as your child putting dog food in their mouth, I would move it to a place where she could not reach it.

I observed a classroom of four-year-old students who are enrolled at the Child Development Center on the George Mason University campus. This observation lasted about fifteen minutes with a total of twelve students in the classroom. At the time of my observation the students were engaging in free playtime where they are allowed to play games, make crafts, and interact with their fellow classmates. I was seated in the corner of the classroom where the children could not easily see me or get distracted by me. I stayed seated throughout the whole observation so the students would not be affected by my presence. Many different activities were happening at the same time, but a couple standout situations reminded me of many subject areas we

This observation took place September 26, 2014 at a daycare in Homestead. A friend of mine is a teacher at “My Little Angels” and while waiting for her, I sat down to watch some children playing. There were many kids to do the observation on, but a little girl playing kitchen set caught my eye. I started watching her from 2:00pm to 2:33pm. It is fascinating what kids do and what we can find out about their behavior by watching them for just thirty minutes.

Setting : Observation took place in a classroom of Richmond Preschool . There were 18 children who are 4 years old, 3 ECE teachers and 1 volunteer during this observation.

The oral stage of development, begins at birth (even prenatally) and ends approximately, when the child is one-year old. The source of libido or pleasure and conflict, is the mouth. The child will enjoy sucking, feeding, and putting things in their mouth. The psychological theme here is dependency. Babies can do very little for themselves, and this would be the time where they are cared for deeply by their mothers and their most intimate bonding time. When a child is deprived of this and his/ her needs are not properly fulfilled it can lead to an oral fixation or overindulgence in their later life. Fixation in this stage could lead to problems such as smoking, nail biting, pen chewing, overeating, alcoholism, sarcasm and verbal hostility. (Sammons,
