SD appears to be in the Precontemplation stages of change where he is not ready to make the change. He is aware of the consequences of the negative behavior. However, I believe that he lacks self-efficacy (doubting his abilities), which derails his effort to try. The question that comes to mind is how traumatic was his experience in immigrating from Haiti to New York city, having to acclimate to the school system here in New York, experiencing culture shock and having a speech and language impediment. Is trauma impacting his school success? This has to be researched further but in the meantime the focus of the intervention is to continue to motivate SD by pointing out his strengths, allowing him to set goals and working with him to

Mateo gets distracted easily and its hard for him to stay focused on one task. The first 4 weeks, he was good, he work and tried his best. I used a lot of verbal encouragement and it worked. Then the next 3 weeks of school, he was like different kid, he could not stay on task, he started putting things on his mouth, pushing, grabbing other students. I seemed like he did not had control over his arms or body, he apologized to his friends. I talked to him, and he said that he did not know he was doing it until it was done. When
After reading, it is logical and makes sense that higher the amount of exposure to childhood trauma would affect someone later in life. These experiences have the ability to cause greater health issues because of it (Stevens, 2014). This aligns with my working knowledge of Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) research which I have learned from my mentor. This topic is big for her as she works with children and families in our communities for a living. She is aware of my past of being in foster care and has educated me how ACE research pertains to me. A while back she started naming off experiences, asking if I had them in my life, with the goal of educating me about how high my ACE score is and that it makes sense that I got cancer three years
The twelve-year civil war in El Salvador displaced thousands from their homeland leading many to flee as refugees and from political persecution to neighboring countries like the United States. Today an estimated quarter of the Salvadoran population are living outside the country’s borders (Perla, 2009). Although Salvadorans in the United States have gone from a refugee population, it is evident that the long-term effects from the civil war are still present today. Today’s higher education system has yet to address those long-term effects by failing to understand the Salvadoran experience.
In 2012, I was faced with a significant change as I found myself in the unfamiliar streets of a new country. This surrounded me with faces and cultures different from those I had grown accustomed to in my previous country, which was much less diverse. Surrounding myself with these unfamiliar people, I began perceiving things differently after learning more about their cultures and beliefs. This later introduced me to the idea of contrasting ways to view things and eventually, their perspectives began reflecting onto me. Ultimately, various factors like the people we surround ourselves with or our past trauma impact our perception, as they affect our mindset and influence our decisions.
I have not received help on this exam, nor have I given help to anyone for this exam.

For the children that when to residential schools, it could cause great emotional trauma. This trauma could include identity and culture loss. Which could lead to suicide or even confusion of culture. The residential school system was made to “beat the indian out of the child.” But, instead of doing this is just caused the child and even their parents a horrible,terrible childhood/life. Therefore residential schools were an awful thing to do to a child and the purpose was not exceeded.
What do you do with a depressed, unconfident, antisocial ADD child? He’s not doing well at school, turning a cold shoulder to potential friends, and can't even look someone in the eye when being addressed. This question is one that plagued me throughout my school career. I was the unconfident, depressed, antisocial ADD child and, in a matter of fact, I was deemed a problem child, someone who needed a special class for help, and someone who would, ultimately, fail in life. I accepted this as fact. How could I not? Society deemed me as a failing out cast and I gladly accepted the role. Until my Junior year of highschool.
Social development begins at birth and has a significant impact on human development. A child’s exposure to social situations will determine their social functioning and social-emotional development. When a child is exposed to trauma at a young age, it is highly probable that there will be significant milestones that will not be achieved or that will be delayed. The developmental delay of social functioning and social-emotional development, inhibits the ability of an individual to have normal interaction with society.

When young children experience trauma the aftermath is far greater than when an adult experiences trauma. With their brain still developing these traumatic events have a huge impact in reducing their brain cortex. This ultimately can affect many complex functions, such as memory, attention, perceptual awareness, thinking, language, and consciousness. These changes may also affect their IQ and the ability to regulate emotions, making the child fearful and may not feel as safe or as protected. When their parent or caregiver is the one causing these experiences the child will often become stressed and their ability to communicate effectively will decline. Researchers have come up with two main coping skills. They are hyper-arousal continuum (fight,
Scientific research over the last 20 years has demonstrated that repeated exposure to trauma and chronic stress in early childhood can impair brain development. For my research I have chosen the topic: Childhood Trauma and how the environment affects their learning. Increasing the quality of service and their stability help to foster positive responsive relationships with nurturing caregivers. As children struggle it is important for us to identify environmental factors and triggers that have an impact in the capability of children’s learning experiences. Having an open and ongoing healthy relationships with parents as well as students helps deal with these struggles that children face today.
Trauma occurs when a child has experienced an event that threatens or causes harm to her emotional and physical well-being. Events can include war, terrorism, natural disasters, but the most common and harmful to a child’s psychosocial well-being are those such as domestic violence, neglect, physical and sexual abuse, maltreatment, and witnessing a traumatic event. While some children may experience a traumatic event and go on to develop normally, many children have long lasting implications into adulthood.
