Parental Support, Self-Esteem and Emotional Intelligence as Predictors of Soc...iosrjce
The Nigerian contemporary African society often sees mentally challenged children as being
bewitched, possessed, or spiritually inflicted and fails to see their situation from the biological, physiological or
accidental perspective of nature. This ill conceive feelings make members of the society and even immediate
family members behave in an unaccommodating manner to mentally challenged children at home or school.
This has negative implication on their well-being. In view of this context, this study investigated parental
support, self-esteem, and emotional intelligence as predictors of social anxiety among mentally challenged
children in Ibadan, Nigeria. Using the descriptive survey research design of ex-post factor, three research
questions were answered and data were collected using four validated instruments, from seventy (70) socially
anxious mentally challenged pupils selected through multi-stage sampling technique. Data was analysed using
the Multiple Regression Analysis at 0.05 level of significance. The study revealed that the independent variables
(parental support, self-esteem and emotional intelligence) made joint contribution of 58.5% variance on the
dependent variable (social anxiety). Also, the independent variables significantly predicted the dependent
variable. Thus, it was recommended that the family, school, teachers and society should support the
developmental needs of mentally challenged pupils in school and at home instead of treating them with disdain.

Steve Vittos Assessing And Treating Defiant BehaviorSteve Vitto
The document discusses assessment and treatment of defiant behavior in children using positive approaches. It notes that without evidence-based decision making, reliance on punishment can damage relationships between schools and parents and teach children to blame others. The document recommends focusing on communication, documentation, and agreeing to disagree respectfully to build partnerships in addressing problematic behaviors.
Here are three potential responses to consider:
1. This statement was likely true in the past as traditional gender roles encouraged men to be breadwinners and women to focus on homemaking. However, attitudes are changing as more women work and take on multiple roles. Greater acceptance of shared parenting and dual-career families suggests views will continue evolving.
2. While progress has been made, vestiges of traditional thinking remain for some. Balancing work and family remains a challenge even though many see men and women equally capable of being workers, parents and spouses. Continued social and legal support for policies like paid family leave and flexible work arrangements could help solidify a culture where all adults can thrive in multiple roles.

Adolescence involves navigating independence from family while still needing their support. Teens desire freedom but fear failure, sometimes rebelling against adults. Peers become very influential as teens use each other to develop identities. While personality is influenced by multiple factors, peers more than parents teach teens how to behave. Cliques fulfill needs for closeness and identity but can encourage conformity over good judgment. Adolescence involves coping with physical, emotional, and social changes, though most adjust well. Illusions of invulnerability can lead teens into risky behaviors with peers. Major life changes like loss can trigger depression in teens. Eating disorders involve refusing to eat or binge eating and purging as a means to control lives or seek
Trauma can interfere with the development of healthy coping skills. This can prevent children from interacting in an appropriate way with peers, teachers, and family. Those that have been bullied can also become bullies because of the same principal.
The document discusses the Strengthening Families approach to child abuse prevention. It focuses on promoting protective factors in families rather than targeting families based on risk factors.

The approach aims to strengthen all families through partnerships with organizations already serving families and by integrating the framework into existing systems and policies.

The document discusses social and psychological development in middle childhood from ages 6 to 12. Key topics covered include identity development, self-esteem, friendships, gender differences, family structures, and social skills. Children develop more complex self-concepts and compare themselves to peers. Their self-esteem generally increases, though some groups face challenges. Friendships become more important and are influenced by gender and social competence. Family structures are increasingly diverse.
The impact of child abuse and neglect is often discussed in terms of physical, psychological, behavioral, and societal consequences. In reality, however, it is impossible to separate the types of impacts. Physical consequences, such as damage to a child’s growing brain, can have psychological implications, such as cognitive delays or emotional difficulties.
This document discusses several topics related to social and personality development in adolescence including identity formation, self-concept, relationships with peers and family, sexuality, dating, and risk-taking behaviors. Key aspects addressed are Erikson's psychosocial stages of identity vs role confusion, influences on self-esteem, types of peer groups, causes of juvenile delinquency, trends in adolescent sexual behavior, factors affecting teen pregnancy rates, and sexual orientation identity development.
Adolescence is a period of rapid physical, cognitive, sexual, social and emotional changes between ages 11-19. It involves transitioning from childhood to adulthood. Common issues during this stage include mood swings, peer influence, experimentation with risky behaviors like drugs/alcohol, and developing identity and independence from parents. Parents can help by educating themselves, communicating openly with their teen, and setting clear rules and boundaries while also giving them privacy and independence.
The document discusses the transition from childhood to adulthood during the teenage years. It notes that this period involves physical maturity, developing identity and roles, and increased independence. Teenagers experience intense emotions, peer pressure, and risk-taking behaviors.

This document discusses the impact of disability on families. It begins by introducing four celebrities and their family members who have disabilities. It then lists the objectives of discussing how disability affects families emotionally, financially, socially, and in dealing with the healthcare system. Examples are provided of how disability impacts families with a child, spouse/partner, or elderly parent with a disability. Common stresses families face with the healthcare system are outlined. The importance of caring for caregivers is discussed as the number of caregivers is expected to rise much slower than the aging population. Coping strategies, respite care, counseling, and support groups are identified as ways to help caregivers.
1. Psychosocial development in middle childhood involves developing feelings of industry through mastery or feelings of inferiority through failure and withdrawal.
2. Children's views of themselves become more differentiated and their self-esteem and self-efficacy often increase during this period.
3. Friendships become increasingly important and influence children's development through providing companionship, stimulation and other functions. Popular children tend to be socially competent while bullies often have issues at home.
Psychosocial Prevention of Dangerous Behaviour in Childhood and AdolescenceAJHSSR Journal
Children and adolescents are strongly oriented to the present. Most important for them is the
satisfaction of present needs, and the possibility of new adventures and experiences. Pointing out the negative
consequences of an unhealthy action is of no importance to children and young people. They have other, more
important concerns than 'prevention'. Particular attention should be paid to the dangerous behaviour of young
people. With such behaviour, young people try to achieve recognition, for example. For this reason, children
and young people should be given the space and the opportunity to achieve this in a different way. The
purpose of this study was to approach, analyze and ultimately examine Psychosocial Prevention of Dangerous
Behaviour in Childhood and Adolescence in order to assist prevention and health promotion work. The
method adopted for the study was a review of the relevant literature. Based on this study, we find that the more
successful prevention proposals so far have been aimed at enhancing general life skills. Personal resources,
such as a positive image of oneself, the perception of one’s body and one’s self-confidence, as well as social
resources play a decisive role in this matter. The ability to support these factors arises from the field of
movement, play and sport. In summary, the opportunities for movement, play and sports do not only satisfy the
need of children and adolescents to enjoy life, to gain experience and independence, but they are also a
potential means of enhancing general competencies (cognitive, kinetic, aesthetic, social and emotional
abilities).

Professor Servaas Morré discusses his extensive research on Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) infections and the role they play in female infertility. His work focuses on identifying host genetic markers that can be added to CT serology testing to improve diagnosis of tubal pathology and reduce the number of women who are incorrectly triaged for fertility treatment. Currently, 20% of women with a negative serology test actually have tubal damage, while 40-45% with a positive test do not have severe pathology. By incorporating genetic data into diagnostic decision trees, he hopes to lower these percentages to improve outcomes for subfertile women.

Conduct Disorder Power Point 2007 Fall PbaLeslie3509
Conduct disorder refers to behavioral and emotional problems in children and adolescents where they have difficulty following rules and behaving appropriately. It is often viewed as "bad" behavior rather than a mental illness. Many factors can contribute to conduct disorder, including brain damage, abuse, genetics, school failure, and traumatic life experiences. Children with conduct disorder often engage in aggressive behavior towards others, destroy property, lie, violate rules, and show little remorse for their actions. Early intervention is important to prevent more serious issues later in life.

The LSAS provides a standardized way to quantify life skills development, evaluate program performance, compare different programs, and inform funding and program development decisions. Its publication in a peer-reviewed journal established it as a valid tool for measuring life skills in children experiencing adversity globally.
Sibling issues can arise when one child has a mental disability. This can require adjustment and impact future relationships. However, children with disabled siblings often develop positive traits like empathy.
When working with youth in the criminal justice system, more focus should be placed on addressing underlying mental health issues rather than just restraining behaviors. Counselors need to help determine what is causing misbehavior.
Children who have experienced trauma like abuse, neglect, family separation, or disasters may react in various ways and need long-term support through counseling to rebuild trust and cope with their experiences. It is important counselors understand children's needs and can refer them to appropriate resources.

This document discusses the impacts of parental incarceration on children and families. It notes that incarceration can cause shifts in family dynamics and children's roles, identities, and living situations. Children often experience feelings of loss, abandonment, and insecurity as a result. The document outlines considerations for working with children of incarcerated parents, such as focusing on the concrete and psychological effects, encouraging communication between child and parent, and providing mentoring opportunities. It also examines the impacts at different developmental stages, such as attachment and trust issues for infants and feelings of powerlessness for pre-schoolers. The conclusion advocates for counseling over suspension, teaching coping skills, and engaging youth in positive community activities.

Ironically, homelessness itself a kind of mental torture which automatically creates distress in a person's mind and bitterness about life. A person without having shelter feels uncomfortable; unsatisfied with his life that he cannot feed his family, even the state's policies are not fair enough to support homeless families. Here, in this paper, we discuss child homelessness which is a great threat to child health in terms of mental distress and academic performance (Vostanis, 1998). In a recent survey, there were 1.4 million children experienced homelessness worldwide, about 75% of children experienced homelessness by doubling-up with other families. On the other hand, 15% of children were in shelters, hotels/motels percentage calculated as 7%, and those were who didn't have shelter to live were 4%. The data has been collected from 2016-17 survey regarding measuring the child homelessness in all over the world according to which appropriate measures could be taken to ensure the provision of shelters, homes, education to homeless children effectively and efficiently. The data mentioned above is being reported from two sources, i.e. school districts required to report based on the number of homeless students they serve. In contrast, others belong to the consensus of federally funded homeless shelters and temporary housing programs conducted by the U.S. Department of Housing and urban development.
Child Homelessness Statistics and Survey
Furthermore, the most important thing noticed during this survey is that overall child homelessness affects the mental health of the children and their academic performance.

I. Three factors are considered in determining if a child is seriously emotionally disturbed: intensity, pattern, and duration. Intensity refers to the severity of the problem, pattern refers to when the problem occurs, and duration refers to how long the problem has been present.
II. Emotional and behavioral disorders are characterized by behavioral or emotional responses that differ significantly from cultural norms and adversely impact educational performance. The condition must be present in two settings for a long period of time and be unresponsive to intervention.
III. Several approaches are used to classify and diagnose emotional and behavioral disorders, including the DSM-IV and methods based on direct observation and measurement of behaviors.
According to the Delhi Police, crimes by children in the 16-18 year age category are on the rise. This indeed is going to be a common phenomenon in the years to come by, particularly because there is very little being done in terms of reaching out the young and the adolescent with ways that help them deal with themselves and their situation better. Once into crime, getting out is not easy for anyone, including children. But the very purpose of the juvenile justice legislation in India is to provide these young people with opportunities to change before it is too late.

Living with a child with special needs can greatly impact the entire family. This document discusses the challenges and opportunities for families and siblings of children with special needs. Some of the key challenges include increased financial costs, stress on parents, and difficulty finding appropriate care. Siblings may feel jealous of the attention given to their special needs sibling. However, families can also experience positive effects like increased strength and community support. Siblings may develop greater patience and compassion from their experience. Overall, having a positive attitude can help special needs children and their families enjoy life rather than feeling it is a burden.
1. Family factors like parenting styles, temperament, and family functioning can influence a child's behavioral development and risk for disorders like aggression. Difficult infant temperament may interact with harsh parenting to increase risk, though the direction of effects is debated.
2. Rehabilitation professionals play an important role in providing vocational rehabilitation services to disabled individuals who have the ability to work. These services include education, job training, and skills development to help participants obtain and maintain employment. Requirements include having a disability that limits employment and meeting age standards. Programs must meet regulatory standards to ensure legitimate, high-quality services are provided.
Children in middle childhood experience significant physical and cognitive development. Physically, they grow taller and gain weight each year. Cognitively, they progress from concrete to more abstract thought and gain logical reasoning abilities. Socially, they form close friendships and develop a sense of self through comparisons to peers. However, issues like bullying, obesity, and low self-esteem can negatively impact development during these years.
The document discusses the connection between building protective factors in communities and appropriate responses to child abuse and neglect. It summarizes that research shows building knowledge of parenting/child development, parental resilience, social connections, concrete supports, and children's social-emotional competence can help protect families and reduce abuse. The document provides information on each protective factor and recommends strategies for service providers to support families in building these factors.

This document discusses the differences between discipline and punishment in children and advocates for positive discipline over corporal punishment. It defines discipline as aiming to teach and guide children, while punishment controls children through pain. Corporal punishment is widespread but harmful, as it violates children's rights, damages relationships, and has short and long-term negative effects. Positive discipline involves building respectful relationships, setting clear rules and expectations, and teaching life skills through problem-solving instead of inflicting pain. It focuses on the long-term goals of raising responsible, confident, and non-violent children.

6. Abraham Harold Maslow was an American psychologist who
was best known for creating Maslow's hierarchy of needs, a
theory of psychological health predicated on fulfilling innate
human needs in priority, culminating in self-actualization.
Maslow believed there are five categories of needs that all
people have, and that these needs
have to be met in sequence
from the first level on up.
7.
8. Keep the child’s needs clearly in mind.
The child’s needs are paramount.
Healthy growth and development
depend on adequately meeting basic
needs.
Children’s needs depend on their age,
stage of development, attachment to
their family/caregivers and what is
happening around them.
9. One role of a CASA volunteer is to
identify the child’s unmet needs and to
advocate for those needs to be met.
› Is the child attending Court ordered
therapy?
› How is the child doing in school?
› How is the child doing in his placement?
10.
11. There is a wide range of typical behavior. At
any particular age 25% of children will not
exhibit the behavior or skill, 50% will show it and
25% will have already mastered it.
Some behaviors may be typical in the sense of
predictable responses to trauma, including the
trauma of separation as well as abuse and
neglect.
Prenatal and postnatal influences may alter
development.
Other factors including culture, current trends,
and values, also influence what is defined as
typical. Why is this important?
12. Attachment is an enduring emotional
and psychological connection between
two people. Attachment refers to a
strong, enduring bond of trust that
develops between a child and the
person(s) he/she interacts with most
frequently. It develops intensely
throughout the first three years of life.
After age 3 children can still learn to
attach but it is more difficult.
14. Signs and symptoms in babies may include:
Withdrawn, sad and listless appearance
Failure to smile
Lack of the normal tendency to follow others in the room
with the eyes
Failure to reach out when picked up
No interest in playing peekaboo or other interactive games
No interest in playing with toys
Engaging in self-soothing behavior, such as rocking or self-
stroking
Calm when left alone
15. Signs and symptoms in toddlers, older children and
adolescents may include:
Withdrawing from others
Avoiding or dismissing comforting comments or gestures
Acting aggressively toward peers
Watching others closely but not engaging in social
interaction
Failing to ask for support or assistance
Obvious and consistent awkwardness or discomfort
Masking feelings of anger or distress
Alcohol or drug abuse in adolescents
16. As children with reactive attachment
disorder grow older, they may develop
either inhibited or disinhibited behavior
patterns. While some children have signs
and symptoms of just one type of
behavior, many exhibit both types.
17. Inhibited behavior. Children with inhibited behavior shun
relationships and attachments to virtually everyone. This may
happen when a baby never has the chance to develop an
attachment to any caregiver.
Disinhibited behavior. Children with disinhibited behavior
seek attention from virtually everyone, including strangers.
This may happen when a baby has multiple caregivers or
frequent changes in caregivers. Children with this type of
reactive attachment disorder may frequently ask for help
doing tasks, have inappropriately childish behavior or appear
anxious.
18. Have you known a resilient person?
Please share.
Resiliency theory suggests that certain
children (and adults) have qualities of
personality, family relationships, outlooks,
and skills that allow them to rise above
enormous hardship.

22. How do children feel about being “taken
away?”

23. The feelings of anxiety become so
intense that these feelings interfere with
the child’s ability to participate in daily
activities.
24. Recurrent excessive
distress when
separation from home
or caretakers occurs or
anticipated
Persistent and chronic
worry about loosing
caretaker
Persistent worry that
an event will lead to
separation (getting
lost, kidnapped)
Reluctance to go to
school, friend’s
house, etc.
Clinging, shadowing
Fear of being alone
Fear of
sleep/nightmares
Physical symptoms
Enuresis (wetting) &
encopresis (soiling)

31. Youth feel empowered when they have
a voice in panning for their future.
32. “Youth who exit out-of-home care will live successfully
as adults” is the vision of Child and Family Services.
Transition to Adult Living (TAL) services will be provided
to youth 14 years and older to meet the challenges of
transitioning to adulthood in accordance with Federal
Chafee Foster Care Independence Program
requirements [42 USC 677 (b)(2)].
TAL services are to be provided to all youth in Child and
Family Services custody who are 14 years and older in
accordance to an assessment of their individual
strengths and needs. Youth will be offered TAL services
regardless of permanency goal.

Talk about issues surrounding permanency, Jeff’s stuff from the CIP summit. We will be going over some of that information. That TAL is meant to be supportive of the youth in their relationships as they age out. Youth learn best when it what is being taught is is in the context of a supportive and meaningful relationship.
TAL is not a program. There is no program where they have to pass off levels, or rewarded for their behavior. TAL is services that can be offered by anyone for them to learn a particular skill.
