Why does it matter?
We live in the digital age
The environment has deep impact on children’s behaviors and development.
Good or bad? It depends on how we use media.
Science behind
Learning from TV and other media:
Require repetition
Familiar characters
Socially relevant and contingent feedback (looks at and talk to the child)
Here is a video represents above three contents in a show.
Children under 2.5 or 3 years old learn better from a real-world than from an equivalent media. They develop the ability of dual representation (need to represent TV as something they learn from) around 3 years old.
Learning two “5”
Children follow 5 steps to learn new things
Sensory register: receives input from the environment and registers it for processing
Information processing: Approach that describes how people learn using a computer analogy
Short-term memory: Holds information temporarily
Long-term memory: Stores information processed from short term memory for later retrieval
Learning response: Recognize and recall information from short- and long-term memory.
5 capabilities that contribute to social learning
Symbolization: can think about social behavior in words and images
Forethought: anticipate consequences of our own and others’ actions
Self-regulation: adopt standards of acceptable behavior for us (aspirational, social, moral)
Self-reflection: analyze our thoughts and actions
Vicarious learning: learn by watching others be rewarded and punished

Parenting instructions:
Media is a new environment for children. Parents should guide them to adapt to the environment.
Consider media as an optional tool for learning. Parents’ companion is necessary for children’s development. It always better to learn from real-world than from the screen.
Don’t use it as an emotional pacifier. Parents should not use TV or other media to calm down their children. They need to learn to control their emotion.
Set limits and encourage playtime. Kids are kids. They will make mistakes using media. Parents’ surveillance is indispensable.
Be a good role model. Except for limiting children’s on-screen playtime, parents should control their time on using media each day.

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 ...

Down’s Syndrome-Revision of Literature Review
Down’s syndrome is a genetic disorder in human beings characterized by a diminished mental ability, distinctive features on the face, and muscle weakness. Such patients have a lot of difficulties in coping up with the world and the society in it. They put their family members in a fixed predicament. Some patients are therefore taken to health institutions which are supposed to make them “better.” However, according to a variety of literature, the mental facilitates have both their advantages and disadvantages. This has led to a debate about whether the institutions are the perfect environment for “curing” patients with the Down’s syndrome. The pro side is that the mental facilities have trained professionals that offer ideal treatment and rehabilitation services to the patients. The treatment sometimes guarantees the physical well-being of the patients. The recovered patients have been known to take part in many social activities like sports and also art. They have been known to come up with unique artistic works. This is because the rehabilitation centers let them focus on their passions. However, on the con side, the institutions are meant to separate the patients from the rest of the society, including their immediate family members. Segregating patients with the Downs’ syndrome may lead to the development of antisocial behavior. For example, patients may tend to seclude themselves and fear to talk to other people despite being physically treated of the condition. The antisocial behavior makes them be termed as “weirdos” in the society. They are thus avoided and neglected by the other members due to their strange behaviors. The con side appeals to the humane behavior of people associating with patients of the Down’s syndrome. The literature review provides adequate knowledge on the subject; it emphasizes on developing empathy for the patients rather than sympathizing with them. This essay is a revision of the literature review of this study; it discusses the terminology, history and the two sides of the controversy (cons and pros).
The primary objective of the literature review provided in this study is to find out the pros and cons associated with treating people with the Down’s syndrome. The research can, therefore, be used as a platform to recommend the appropriate treatment procedures to be used by people associated with patients with this disorder. The research made was adequate to support the conclusion that the current institutions need modification to ensure that children coming out of the facilities are all rounded. Learning from Graaf (2002), it is clear that integrating both types of children (those with the condition and those without) is a terrible idea. This is because the ...

Child care is a now a way of life for many of America’s young children, but this has not always been the case.

By 1970, twice as many 3- and 4-year-olds had enrolled in preschool, and by 1990 participation in preschool had doubled again to about 40% of all 3- and 4-year-olds. We know more mothers were working full time in 1990 than had been in 1960, but that is not the only explanation for the increased demand for early childhood education.

Introduction
Going to college can be demanding for many people. In addition to managing academic insistence, many students have to cope with their families' complex separation tasks. At the same time, some of them continue to deal with a lot of many family duties. Mental health experts and advocates contend that it is an epidemic that colleges need to investigate further. Depression, anxiety disorders are some of the significant mental health issues that affect college students. The effects of suicidal ideas on university students' academic achievement have not been explored, yet mental health conditions are associated with academic achievement (De Luca et al., 2016). A novel coronavirus has worsened the situation of mental health. Even before the onset of this virus, there was concern from mental health policymakers in America because of the rising mental health challenges. They claimed a need for additional aid for struggling university students and the capability for these institutions to provide it. Regrettably, many university students with mental health conditions do not seek and receive the necessary treatment. The primary reasons for not pursuing help include thinking that the challenge will get better with time, stigma from their peers and no time to seek the treatment because of a busy schedule (Corrigan et al. 2016). Without this treatment, college students experiencing medical conditions most of the time get lower grades, drop out of college, immerse themselves into substance abuse, or become unemployed. Because these mental health conditions are invisible, they can only be seen through academic performance or social behavior change. Should universities strike a balance between mental health conditions and academics? This review will conclude that the mental health condition of university students and scholars should be balanced. Comment by Dr. Helen Doss: You need to answer this question and present the answer as the thesis at the end of this paragraph. Comment by Dr. Helen Doss: This is not a review essay—it is an argumentative or persuasive essay. Comment by Dr. Helen Doss: What does this mean—should be balanced? By what? For what? And, by whom? Comment by Dr. Helen Doss: This paragraph is too long. See: https://www.umgc.edu/current-students/learning-resources/writing-center/writing-resources/parts-of-an-essay/paragraph-structure.cfm
Effects of not Balancing Mental Health and Academics
There are consequences of not balancing mental health and academics in higher learning institutions, mainly if they do not receive any treatment. For example, if depression goes untreated, it raises the chances of risky behavior like substance abuse. The condition affects how students sleep, eat, and it also affects how students think. Also, students cannot concentrate in class, and they cannot make rational decisions. By lack of concent ...

Introduction
Going to college can be demanding for many people. In addition to managing academic insistence, many students have to cope with their families' complex separation tasks. At the same time, some of them continue to deal with a lot of many family duties. Mental health experts and advocates contend that it is an epidemic that colleges need to investigate further. Depression, anxiety disorders are some of the significant mental health issues that affect college students. The effects of suicidal ideas on university students' academic achievement have not been explored, yet mental health conditions are associated with academic achievement (De Luca et al., 2016). A novel coronavirus has worsened the situation of mental health. Even before the onset of this virus, there was concern from mental health policymakers in America because of the rising mental health challenges. They claimed a need for additional aid for struggling university students and the capability for these institutions to provide it. Regrettably, many university students with mental health conditions do not seek and receive the necessary treatment. The primary reasons for not pursuing help include thinking that the challenge will get better with time, stigma from their peers and no time to seek the treatment because of a busy schedule (Corrigan et al. 2016). Without this treatment, college students experiencing medical conditions most of the time get lower grades, drop out of college, immerse themselves into substance abuse, or become unemployed. Because these mental health conditions are invisible, they can only be seen through academic performance or social behavior change. Should universities strike a balance between mental health conditions and academics? This review will conclude that the mental health condition of university students and scholars should be balanced. Comment by Dr. Helen Doss: You need to answer this question and present the answer as the thesis at the end of this paragraph. Comment by Dr. Helen Doss: This is not a review essay—it is an argumentative or persuasive essay. Comment by Dr. Helen Doss: What does this mean—should be balanced? By what? For what? And, by whom? Comment by Dr. Helen Doss: This paragraph is too long. See: https://www.umgc.edu/current-students/learning-resources/writing-center/writing-resources/parts-of-an-essay/paragraph-structure.cfm
Effects of not Balancing Mental Health and Academics
There are consequences of not balancing mental health and academics in higher learning institutions, mainly if they do not receive any treatment. For example, if depression goes untreated, it raises the chances of risky behavior like substance abuse. The condition affects how students sleep, eat, and it also affects how students think. Also, students cannot concentrate in class, and they cannot make rational decisions. By lack of concent ...

States
•Children between the ages of 3 to 12
are at risk to becoming infected with
head lice.
(C.D.C., 2013a; Frankowski, &
Bocchini, 2010)
•Estimated number of children who
become infected is the following: 6
million to 12 million.

15. Lesson Plan
•Grade: 2
•Lesson title: Empathy
•Health sub – standard: 1.1.M Describe a variety of emotions.
•Suggested Resource: Talking About Your Feelings
KidsHealth.org/kid/feeling/thought/talk_feelings.html
•Idea: The teacher directs students to identify their feelings to the question, How
would you feel if…The students imagine they are in head lice-related situations.
Examples of these situations are having head lice and witnessing a peer ridiculing
another peer who has head lice. Suggested learning activity is role-playing (Kids
Heatlh, 2015a). Teacher helps students to identify what they could say or do to make
each situation positive. Learning goal is students demonstrating an ability to
communicate interpersonally. Students also are practicing how to listen and speak
and learning how to respond to head lice reasonably.
ENGLISH AND HEALTH
16. Lesson Plan
•Grade: 3
•Lesson title: Healthy Behaviors
•Health sub – standard: 7.1.G Determine behaviors that promote healthy growth and development.
•Suggested Resource: What to Do if You Can’t Sleep KidsHealth.org/kid/stay_healthy/body/cant_sleep.html
•Idea: The teacher directs students to complete a sleeping log for one week and identify the day or days they
did not get 7 to 9 hours of sleep (Kids Health, 2015b). The teacher asks the students to determine if they are
getting enough sleep most of the days of the week. To help the students practice communicating their health
needs, the teacher directs them to imagine they are either showing signs of having head lice or live with a
person who has head lice. The students are to identify actions to help relieve the uncomfortable feeling of
having lice or to make a suggestions of how the other person can try to become comfortable. Students are
trying to identify actions that are useful to them getting enough sleep. Suggested learning activities are sleep
logs, role playing, and partner activities. Learning goals are students strengthen math operation skills,
strengthen communication skills in promoting a healthy lifestyle, and become aware of how the difficulty
sleeping symptom of head lice is an unhealthy behavior.
