The document discusses several important children's health issues including obesity, asthma, and mental illness. It notes that 1 in 4 children are overweight or obese, and that home environment and rural living increase obesity risk. Asthma rates in Australia are high, it can be hereditary, and its effects range from mild to fatal. Around 50% of children with mental illness will drop out of school as mental illnesses usually continue into adulthood. The document emphasizes the importance of physical activity for children's physical, social and mental well-being. It also discusses how schools address children's health through education, support services, and physical activity opportunities like sports carnivals and recess.

PDHPE (Personal Development, Health and Physical Education) is an important school subject that teaches children how to make healthy lifestyle choices and encourages physical activity. National health surveys show that nearly 25% of Australian children are overweight or obese, and without health education these rates are likely to rise along with associated health issues. PDHPE aims to develop students' life skills, promote healthy relationships and involvement in physical activity, and encourage self-understanding and respect for others.

Causes & prevention of disabilities

Disabilities can occur at any age and for various reasons, and are defined as impairments, limitations in activities, or restrictions in participation. Causes of disabilities include both prenatal factors like genetic disorders, infections, or environmental exposures during pregnancy, as well as perinatal and postnatal causes such as prematurity, injuries, or illnesses. Prevention strategies aim to identify risks early through preconception counseling, prenatal screening, and newborn screening in order to provide early treatment or rehabilitation interventions that can reduce disabilities.

This document discusses childhood obesity and potential solutions. It begins by defining obesity and identifying causes such as diet, family history, lack of exercise, and psychological factors. Common causes in children include regularly eating high-calorie fast foods and snacks, coming from an overweight family, and not engaging in physical activity. The document then examines literature about childhood obesity rates increasing in Azerbaijan and unhealthy foods available in schools. Potential solutions proposed include intensifying education about obesity in schools and providing parents more information, as children are primarily influenced by their parents and teachers. Working together, families, schools, and society can combat obesity.

During the preschool years from ages 2 to 6, children experience significant physical, motor, and cognitive development. Physically, children nearly double in height and weight during this time. Their bodies also become less round and more slender as bones strengthen and muscle increases. Motor skills like fine motor coordination are practiced and improved. Cognitively, the brain grows rapidly through myelination and connections between hemispheres, supporting advances in memory, attention, and motor skills. By age 5, the brain weighs 90% of an adult's. Most children show preference for right or left handedness by the end of the preschool years.

Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects communication and social interaction. It can be caused by genetic and environmental factors. Boys are four to five times more likely to be affected than girls. Early signs include lack of babbling, pointing or responding to name by age 2. Children with autism have difficulty interpreting others' thoughts and feelings and engaging socially. Teachers can help by using visual aids, concrete examples, picture exchange systems, and education plans for stressful situations.

Healthy nutrition, healthy children (1)

Childhood obesity is affecting 1 in 6 children in the US and increases health risks like diabetes and heart disease. Schools are well positioned to help reverse this trend through promoting healthy nutrition habits among students. A school food policy committee aims to develop guidelines to make healthy food choices easy for students and families, which can lead to benefits like increased energy, less absenteeism, and improved readiness to learn for healthier students. The document requests contact with the chairperson for those interested in joining the committee.

Physical growth during middle childhood (ages 6-12) is slow but steady, with children gaining 2-3 inches and 5-7 pounds per year on average. Nutrition plays an important role in physical development, with proper nutrition linked to positive personality traits and undernutrition/malnutrition leading to physical, social, and cognitive difficulties. Rates of asthma have doubled since the 1980s. Around 2-5% of children experience depression, which can be treated through counseling or controversially with drugs. Other conditions like ADHD, learning disabilities, and sensory impairments also impact around 5% of children.

The document discusses the growing epidemic of childhood obesity in the United States. It states that approximately 17% of children ages 2-19 are obese, which can negatively impact their education, social development, and health. Childhood obesity is linked to lower test scores and IQ as well as increased risk of conditions like diabetes, heart disease, depression, and low self-esteem. If not addressed, obesity in children is likely to continue into adulthood and affect future generations through learned health behaviors. The document argues that childhood obesity has many consequences and should no longer be overlooked.

In my current or past positions, I did not work with finances, so this is new to me, though definitely will be dealing with it as an Administrator. There are several ways that I would utilize financial information. It will be utilized when dealing with insurance and reimbursements, will I qualify for meaningful use, paying staff, allocating finances for quality improvement, improving technology equipment as well as other equipment and marketing are just some of the ways I will utilize financial information. As a patient, I have had the experience of having to pay for healthcare costs out of pocket. I have also reviewed the bill to ensure correctness of charges, called facility for questions regarding billing, and also have reviewed the EOB (explanation of Benefits) this also will ensure correctness and assure me of all charges. Guadalupe Martinez 010/30/19 PSYC 2103 ESSAY QUESTIONS 1.Identify and explain the significant steps of Early Childhood Development and include the relevant theories. The development of a child starts with physical development before getting to psychological development. Physical development involves growth in height and weight. During the early stages, the girls are averagely taller than boys. One of the challenges in physical development is obesity, a health problem that is caused by diet, social characteristics, and genetic make-up. The psychological aspect involves growth in education, which is enhanced for all learners through systems such as special education. The special education units involve providing the learners with differentiated instructions to facilitate learning at various levels. The early development stages require the support of the parents, especially the protection that the father offers to the children. Similarly, the development of the children includes dieting and the challenge of obesity among children can be addressed by ensuring that children access healthy meals. 2.Describe the challenges faced by learners in the early stages of development and suggest viable solutions to the setbacks. Bullying at school and instability in the family set up can disrupt the learning progress and ruin the future of the kids. Bullying inflicts physical pain and injuries and scares the victims from attending school. This problem can be addressed by teaching discipline in school. Bullying is responsible for over 90% truancy in elementary and middle schools as students fear being harassed and they choose to stay at home. Children who are exposed to bullying might develop low self-esteem, while the perpetrators are likely to engage in crimes in future. The issue of family disputes affects the children because they lack the required parental support. The challenge can be solved by listening and responding to their concerns.

Physical & Cognitive Development in Middle Childhood I. Physical Development The Growing Body Beginning at age 6 and continuing to age 12, these years are often referred to as the “school years.” Compared with the swift growth during the first five years, physical growth during middle childhood is slow but steady. School-aged children grow, on average, 2 to 3 inches per year. This is the only time during the life span when girls are, on average, taller than boys. I. Physical Development A. The Growing Body (cont.) Obesity is defined as body weight that is more than 20% above the average for a person of a given height and weight. 15% of all children are obese. This proportion has tripled since the 1960s. Obesity can caused by a combination of genetic and social characteristics. I. Physical Development (cont.) Motor Development Schooled-age children’s gross and fine motor skills develop substantially over middle childhood. An important improvement in gross motor skills is muscle coordination. I. Physical Development (cont.) Health During Middle Childhood More than 90% of children in middle childhood have at least one serious medical condition, although most are short-term illnesses. ASTHMA More than 15 million children in the U.S. suffer from this illness. Asthma attacks are triggered by a variety of factors. Respiratory infections Allergic reactions to airborne irritants Stress Exercise A sudden change in air temperature or humidity I. Physical Development (cont.) c. Increasing independence and mobility of school-age children lead to new safety issues. Children walking to school face dangers of being hit by cars and trucks due to inability to judge distance/speed. The most frequent source of injury to children is automobile accidents. Car crashes kill five out of every 100,000 children between ages 5 and 9 annually. Fires and burns, drowning, and gun-related deaths follow in frequency. d. The newest threat to the safety of school-aged children comes from the Internet or the World Wide Web. I. Physical Development (cont.) Psychological Disorders Childhood depression is often overlooked by teachers and parents. Approximately 5% of school-age children suffer from depression. 13% of school-age children suffer from anxiety disorders. The use of antidepressant drugs has become a popular treatment for childhood psychological disorders. In 2002 more than 10 million prescriptions were written for children under the age of 18. Little is known about the long-term effectiveness of antidepressants with children or the consequences of use of the developing brains of children. I. Physical Development (cont.) D. Children with Special Needs One student in a thousand requires special education services relating to VISUAL IMPAIRMENT. AUDITORY IMPAIRMENT, a special need that involves the loss of hearing or some aspect of hearing, which affects 1% to 2% of school-aged children. Three to 5% of school-age children have speech impa.

Schools contribute to unhealthy behaviors in adolescents in three main ways: (1) they do not provide enough physical activity through physical education and recess, (2) they do not emphasize enough importance of sleep through early start times and increased homework, and (3) they promote unhealthy eating through use of technology in lessons which increases calorie and unhealthy food intake. Research shows improving physical activity in schools can positively impact cognitive performance and academic achievement.

Obesity

ghazali76

Obesity in teenagers is a growing problem in the United States, with over 33% of teenagers now obese. Being overweight or obese increases teenagers' risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and early death. Research shows that teenagers aged 10-13 who are obese have an 80% chance of being obese as adults. Some of the key causes of teenage obesity include family history of obesity, unhealthy eating habits like fast food consumption, stress, lack of exercise, and medical conditions requiring steroid medications. To address teenage obesity, experts recommend making long-term changes to diet and exercise habits, including eating a balanced diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and receiving family support.

CAUSE AND RISK FACTORS OF CHILHOOD OBESITY 1 4 CAUSE AND RISK FACTORS OF CHILDHOOD OBESITY Cause and Risk Factors of Childhood Obesity Lesly M. Ponce Gonzales Mountain View College ENGL 1302 - TR -11:00 Abstract Childhood obesity is a global public health concern and its increasing over the years and it is defined as an increase in body fat and this is related to an abnormal weight gain for their age and height. The obese child is more predisposed to being an obese adult and tends to increase his probability of early mortality. Causes or risk factors are closely related to genetic inheritance, lifestyle, and environmental factors, such as school diet, socioeconomic problems, and technology. It can also cause diseases such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep disorders, among others. The causes and risk factors of childhood obesity because it helps to understand the increasing growth of obese children and adults in the world. Knowing the causes or risk factors allows specialists to find or propose solutions for its prevention. Cause and Risk Factors of Childhood Obesity Did you know that overweight and obesity in children and adolescents is one of the faster-growing epidemics in the world, that it is not only related to excessive consumption of calories? Although childhood obesity is caused by eating more energy than it is burning, and it is associated with a dietary factor and sedentary lifestyle, exists others less known causes associated with genetic, psychological, family, sociocultural, socioeconomic and environmental factors that develop and increase the risk of the childhood obesity. As a global health concern, World Health Organization (WHO), classifies if a child is overweight or obese using body mass index (BMI) “systematic reviews have shown that the BMI (…) provides the best simple means of defining obesity in children and adolescents” (Really). BMI is a simple indicator of the relationship between weight and height that it is used to identify obesity in children and adults. It is calculating by dividing children’s weight in kilos by the square of their height in meters BMI = (kg) / Height² (m²). For instance, the WHO uses the BMI-for-age chart for boys for screening for overweight or obesity in the child. As it has shown in figure 1 and 2 respectively, the line labeled 0 on the growth chart is the median or the average. A child whose BMI-for-age is above line 3 is obese, above 2 is overweight and above 1shows the possible risk of overweight. Obesity is interpreted “as an excess of body fat” (Sahoo) because it is understood that the excess of weight is due to the growth of fat cells or the born of the new ones. According to the researchers the prevalence of pediatric obesity in the world has increased at an alarmed rate s from “2% to 6.7% in 2010” (Al-Agha), turning it as the most serious public health challenge of this time.
