Parenting the Adolescent
View Full Description
It is often said that there is much similarity in adolescent and toddler development. In fact, some say that the toddler you had comes back as a teenager. Given what you have read about parenting the toddler (Week 3) and the adolescent (Week 5) describe at least one similarity and one difference and describe how parenting is both the same and different. Please note in your post the relevant developmental stages and how parents effectively meet them.
Parenting changes as children get older, offering new challenges to parents at home. School-age children spend more time away from home, and their interactions with others become increasingly complex. Parents maintain many of the same fundamental responsibilities with school-age children as they did with preschoolers. They need to continue to provide love and affection, to set age-appropriate rules and boundaries, and to support physical, cognitive and social development.
Topics to be covered include:
Normal physical, emotional and social development in during the elementary school and early teen years
Ways parents can support their child’s development during the elementary school and early teen years
Techniques to help parents maintain positive relationships with their adolescents as they become more independent and move toward adulthood
Techniques to help school-age children develop positive relationships with family and peers
Ways parents can promote healthy lifestyles with school age children
Effects of media use on children’s development
· Sleep
· Sleep helps attention, emotional well-being, and learning. Adequate sleep helps the body regulate its metabolic processes and weight control. Parents should establish a consistent bedtime schedule as well as bedtime routines to help children develop the habit of sleep. Parents who adopt positive and nurturing parenting styles support healthy sleep patterns in children.
· School-age children usually sleep independently; however, maintaining a normal bedtime routine is part of good sleep hygiene. Sleep hygiene includes a number of practices that support healthy sleep, like avoiding caffeine in the afternoon, having a cool, dark room, and a relaxing bedtime routine. For school-age children, this might involve a shower or bath, a snack, and reading time, either alone or with a parents. It is best to avoid screens, including smartphones and tablets, before bed.
·
CDC RECOMMENDATIONS
· The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (2013) recommends that newborns sleep between 16–18 hours per day. A preschool-age child should sleep between 11–12 hours per day. It is recommended that school-age children get nine to 11 hours of sleep per night. There is some room for individual variation between children, with some managing well on eight hours and others needing 12 hours a night to feel well. If a child is consistently sleeping less than seven hours or more than.

Nutrition in Schools
The children are the future of this great nation. As such, it is important that adequate attention and consideration is put into ensuring the future of the nation is secured. The growing incidences of child obesity should thus, be considered a threat to the future of the country. One is termed as being obese when they have a body mass percentage that is at and/ or goes over the 95th percentile of the CDC sex specific BMI charts. As a nurse, I feel that there is immediate need to address the matter of childhood obesity and nip it in the bud before it grows and becomes an even more troublesome issue. According to a report released by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently, approximately 13.7 million children aged between the ages of 2 and 19 suffered from obesity (CDC, 2018). These numbers are very alarming especially seeing that there is an anticipated increase. The purpose of this paper is to communicate the author’s desire to implement policies in schools that will help manage and eventually reduce the prevalence of obesity in the nation by proposing solutions to the problem.
The Problem of Obesity
The food an individual consumes plays an important role in shaping their health. As such, it is very worrying when children continue to feed on heavily processed foods that are not nutritionally beneficial to them. Child obesity, just like adult obesity, is caused by the consumption of high-calorie foods and beverages that are lacking essential nutrients. This, paired with living a sedentary lifestyle, increases the chances of becoming overweight and eventually, obese (Dawes, 2014).
Obese children have very many health risks including, high cholesterol as well as high blood pressure which makes them susceptible to developing heart conditions, breathing problems such as asthma, joint problems; they may also develop mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression. Childhood obesity also negatively impairs the child’s social development and ability to associate properly with their peers. This is due to the feelings of low self-esteem they may develop as a result of being jeered at by other children because of their weight. They become anxious about whether they will be socially accepted by their age mates and conclude that they will not be. As a result, they end up isolating themselves and if this is left unaddressed, they may become depressed (Halfon, Larson & Slasser, 2016). When this children grow up to become adults, they are at risk of even more health problems such as adult obesity which brings with it even more serious health conditions such as risk of developing Diabetes type 2, Heart disease as well as cancer. According to CDC, when child obesity is left to advance into adu.

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. The adults might be well adapted to facing wi ...

Chronic Health Conditions in Children and Education Final One
1. Chronic Health Conditions in
Children: Implications on
Education
EDEC 553
CAROL HAZLETT
“Sometimes the best plan is to help children learn to live with their illness. Future success and
adjustment may be determined by how successful the young person is in making their diagnosis
just another aspect of who they are.”
2. Chronic Health Conditions are
illnesses that last longer than three
months and impede with day to day
quality of life.
Asthma Diabetes Cerebral Palsy Cystic Fibrosis
Cancer Severe Allergies Epilepsy Spina Bifida
Heart Problems Lupus Leukemia AIDS
3. Overview & Prevalence
In the past 20 years children with chronic medical conditions has increased from
approximately 7% to about 20% in the United States.
About 12 million children in the United States is affected by a chronic medical
condition.
Asthma, severe allergies, and diabetes are at the top of the list with obesity and
related conditions at a close fourth.
Chronic illnesses have genetic components, but the environment, nutrition, and
activity level can play a role (i.e.: asthma, allergies, obesity, sometimes
diabetes).
4. Impacts on Children and Family
Children and families have to come to terms with a diagnosis.
Families might have to provide accommodations at home (routine or physical
environment).
Children may experience pain or exhaustion as well as a wide range of emotions
such as; fear, anger, sadness, loneliness, and confusion.
Divorce is slightly more prevalent in families with chronically ill children.
Siblings can sometimes feel left out.
5. Provide your child with age appropriate information about their illness.
When possible, plan ahead for medical procedures.
Children with medical illnesses can feel a loss of control, so give choices.
Encourage children to spend time with their friends.
Talk to your child about their emotions, and listen to what they have to say.
Teach positive coping skills.
Focus on your child’s strengths, in what they can do.
Some children don’t like being pampered.
As parents, take care of yourself as well.
Utilize Services: respite care, counseling, seek out information, etc.
Tips for Parents/Caregivers
6. Young children may not understand why they are sick, or may think it is a
punishment for being bad.
Preteens may go through a time when they’re angry at the parents or doctors
for there not being a cure.
Teenagers can become frustrated because they might be dependent on their
family, but also want to become independent.
Impact on Children in Stages
7. Many parents fear that the school won’t be able to provide for their child’s
medical needs, but staff and resources are there to help.
Socially, some kids don’t form close friendships because they don’t see peers.
Medical conditions that are physically noticeable may be a source of bullying.
A child who has a chronic medical condition may be at a higher risk for
developing emotional problems which can result in behavior problems in class.
Excess worry or anxiety might result in a child struggling to concentrate or
remember information.
Chronic absenteeism is a major hurdle that can impact education.
If a child is unable to return to school there are other methods of education.

Implications on Education
8. Communication is key when a child returns to school after a long time away.
The hospital educator, the child’s doctor and nurse, the school psychologist or
social worker and the child’s teacher are all there to help.
Try to focus on the positives of going back to school, but also address any
concerns your child may have.
Returning to School: Tips for Parents
9. IEP versus 504
Individual Education Plans (IEP’s) are in place for children with
special needs, often times they benefit from a modified curriculum.
Children with chronic illnesses however, can use a 504 plan.
A 504 plan means that the child is able to use the regular curriculum,
but needs to be able to access the full curriculum ahead of time.
504 if a Civil Rights law under the American with Disabilities Act.
10. Tips for Educators
Provide a positive educational environment for each child.
Work together with families, the school nurse, and your principal to plan
ahead for physical needs and medications.
Ensure that required health forms are complete and accessible by parents,
the school nurse, and teachers.
Once things are planned for, remember you’re the child’s teacher, so focus
on the student’s education.
Some parents and children might encourage the class to be educated on
the illness, typically the school nurse can help with that.
