Teratogens2 1 (1)
There are several factors that influence how severely teratogens affect a developing organism. The early stages of pregnancy are most vulnerable, with more frequent or higher doses of exposure causing more damage. Additional risks include poor nutrition, lack of prenatal care, and exposure to multiple teratogens. Common teratogens like alcohol and street drugs like cocaine can cause issues like fetal alcohol syndrome, growth retardation, and premature birth. The effects of teratogens depend on timing of exposure and characteristics of the specific organism.
KEEP YOUR KIDS FROM BECOMING ADDICTS
https://www.blvdcenters.org/ .... As parents, some of the key things that we are responsible for monitoring is their safety, their health, and their general wellbeing. Humans are highly curious beings and kids are probably the most prime example of curiosity.
Shaken baby syndrome
Shaken baby syndrome is caused when someone vigorously shakes an infant, which can lead to brain injury or death in some cases. Survivors often suffer lifelong disabilities such as blindness, paralysis, seizures, and developmental or cognitive impairments. To help prevent shaken baby syndrome, parents and caregivers should be educated about child development, strategies for coping with a crying baby's frustration, and programs that provide support.
Rett’S Syndrome
1) Rett Syndrome is a rare genetic neurological disorder that is part of the autism spectrum.
2) It primarily affects girls and symptoms usually appear between 6-18 months of age as development regresses.
3) Common symptoms include loss of hand skills and spoken communication, gait abnormalities, seizures, and severe intellectual disabilities.
Flier 2 miraleste 2019
The document announces a program for teens, parents, educators and other adults on Tuesday, October 22, 2019 from 6:00-7:00pm at Miraleste Intermediate School. The program will feature Barbara Veit, West-Coast Director of Truth Pharm, who will discuss the physiology of the developing adolescent brain, why it is uniquely susceptible to addiction, and how teens and parents can empower teens to keep their brains healthy and substance-free during middle and high school years. The program will provide information on teen brain development, vulnerabilities to addiction from vaping, nicotine and opioids, and how these impact teen behavior and risk-taking.
Family dinner time
The document discusses the benefits of family dinner time for teenagers. It suggests that having regular family dinners can lead to smarter, healthier, and fewer risky behaviors in teenagers. Specifically, it claims that family dinners provide opportunities for educating conversation that can improve grades and vocabulary. It also asserts that homemade dinners instead of fast food can prevent obesity and related health issues. Finally, it indicates that research shows regular family dinners reduce risks of substance abuse and other problematic behaviors in teens.
Nur415 - Shaken Baby Syndrome
Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS), also known as abusive head trauma, describes injuries that result from violently shaking an infant or small child. SBS most often affects children under 1 year old and can cause long-term disabilities or death. Common signs include lethargy, poor feeding, vomiting, seizures, and retinal hemorrhaging. While perpetrators are often male caregivers, risk factors include infant crying, prematurity, and family stress. Prevention efforts aim to educate parents and caregivers about the dangers of shaking babies.
Chemical dependency in youth
Chemical dependency in youth, also known as addiction to drugs or alcohol, can be caused by social pressures, family history of addiction, and lack of emotional stability. Common factors leading to addiction include being tempted by peers who tease about drugs or drink heavily and promote "just trying it." Family dynamics also influence youth addiction, as children are affected when parents struggle with their own addiction and lack open communication. Genetics may play a role through genes like the AA gene affecting the mu-opioid receptor in the brain. Effective treatments include inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation programs, 12-step support groups, therapy, and addressing any co-occurring mental health conditions like depression.

E2a3 madon (2004) self fulfilling prophecy
Parents' expectations of their children's drinking behavior can become a self-fulfilling prophecy, according to a study by Maldon (2004). The study asked parents to predict how much alcohol their children would consume over the next year. One year later, the children's actual alcohol consumption aligned with their parents' predictions - children whose parents expected greater alcohol use tended to drink more. The findings suggest parents' beliefs can significantly influence their children's drinking behaviors.
Crying shaken baby
This document provides information about coping with crying babies and shaken baby syndrome. It discusses that babies normally cry for 2-3 hours per day, outlines the different types of cries, and lists things to check when a baby is crying like needs, sickness, and colic. When caregivers feel frustrated by crying, the document advises planning coping strategies instead of shaking the baby. It describes how shaking can cause brain and spinal injuries and even death. Statistics are given about shaken baby syndrome and signs to look for. Throughout, it emphasizes to never shake a baby and provides safety tips when handling infants.
Shaken baby syndrome
As nurses, we play an important role in educating parents about shaken baby syndrome and how to prevent it. Shaken baby syndrome occurs when an infant's head rapidly moves back and forth, causing brain damage. It can result in serious injuries like blindness, cerebral palsy, or even death. Nurses should teach parents healthy ways to soothe a crying baby such as feeding, changing, or going for a walk instead of shaking them.
Shaken baby pres
This document discusses shaken baby syndrome, its causes and effects, and introduces Adele, a 3-year-old child with cognitive and motor delays due to being shaken as an infant. It provides information on adapting environments for children with Adele's delays and lists several support agencies in Toronto for children with special needs as well as for their mothers, including those providing speech therapy, occupational therapy, rehabilitation, early intervention programs, housing support, and substance abuse support groups.
Mental Health Wellness Guide For Your Child
A guide on mental health wellness for children including symptoms of a mental health disorder to watch for and how parents or caregivers can help the child.
Why School Districts Consider Early Childhood Education Mental Health
The document discusses why school districts consider early childhood education for mental health. It notes that according to the CDC, more children today have mental health disorders than in previous years, with one in six children between ages 2-8 having a diagnosed mental, behavioral, or developmental disorder. Common disorders include anxiety, behavior problems, and ADHD. The assistant director of an early childhood education program believes early diagnosis and treatment services can significantly benefit children with mental health conditions.
Healthy children
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.
ADHD myth buster
The document debunks 5 common myths about ADHD: 1) ADHD is not real but is a neurological condition shown in brain scans. 2) It is not caused by bad parenting but a genetic condition. 3) Diet and screen time are not linked to ADHD which is caused by a smaller brain size. 4) People with ADHD may learn to manage but not outgrow it as 80% still have issues as adults. 5) Those with ADHD can succeed in life and are not destined to fail as the condition is about management, not ability.
“Myth: A Diagnosis of a FASD Does Not Change the Treatment Plan”
This article discusses how a diagnosis of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) can change and improve a patient's treatment plan. While a diagnosis does not cure the neurological impairments caused by prenatal alcohol exposure, it provides useful context for clinicians. Understanding that behaviors stem from brain damage rather than choice can help caregivers be more patient. A diagnosis also alerts professionals that a child may have greater difficulty adapting to stressors and learning coping skills. Recognizing the teratogenic effects of alcohol exposure is an important first step in developing effective interventions for managing related behavioral issues and impairments.

Dr. Indira Sahajwalla Oration Presentation Dr. J. J. Merchant Oration
Dr. Indira H. Sahajwalla was a retired senior chief medical officer who proposed changes to the Consumer Protection Act 1986 in India, including raising the application time from 15 to 30 days and allowing cases to be dealt with at the district level. The act applies to all goods and services. Dr. J.J. Merchant was the first consumer to file a petition under the amended act.
In his oration, Dr. J.J. Merchant discussed total brain health, which involves the body, mind and spirit. Lifestyle behaviors like exercise, diet, intellectual and social activity can improve memory and decrease dementia. He advocated keeping socially and intellectually engaged to improve total brain health as we age.
Cerebral palsy
Cerebral palsy is a form of paralysis caused by brain damage before or during birth that affects movement and muscle control. It is not a disease but a condition. While there is no cure, treatment and therapy can help improve mobility and daily living. Cerebral palsy symptoms vary but may include problems walking, moving limbs, speaking, and muscle coordination that are noticed before age 2. With proper care, those with cerebral palsy can live independently or in a group home as adults.
Drug abuse
This document discusses teen drug use statistics and signs of drug abuse. It provides statistics showing that almost 50% of high school seniors have used drugs, 15% of 8th graders have used marijuana, and more teens die from prescription drug overdoses than from heroin and cocaine. Common signs of drug abuse in teens include poor grades, bloodshot eyes, and secretive behavior. The document provides resources for parents to talk to teens about drug dangers and online games about drug education.
Group Addiction Copy
Final group presentation. Some of the text is wonky, but that is because of an incompatibility with Slideshare.
Thelma mc millen 7 21-18
Barbara describes how addiction disrupts the brain's signaling system and alters its physiology, leading to profound behavioral changes and uncontrollable cravings. She discusses risk factors for developing addiction and what the addicted brain may really be craving. Barbara also examines factors for determining whether abstinence-only or medicated assisted therapy is more appropriate based on an individual's unique relationship with the substance abused.
Tc adult side
Addiction disrupts messaging pathways in the brain, profoundly changing behavior. A presentation will discuss how this disruption explains addiction symptoms and challenges to treatment. The director of Truth Pharm will describe how addictive substances attack the brain's signaling system, leading to addiction behaviors, risk factors, triggers, and effective treatment approaches.
Mental health%20 problems_early%20childhood
Mental health problems can emerge early in childhood and impair learning and behavior if left unaddressed. Significant adversity like abuse, neglect, poverty or family mental illness can damage the developing brain and increase risks for later mental health issues. While all children facing prolonged adversity are vulnerable, genetics also play a role - some children are more susceptible to stress. Early intervention can help address emerging problems and improve outcomes, but young children often express mental health issues differently than older children and adults due to differences in brain development, self-awareness and relationships. Untreated difficulties that start early may worsen over time into more serious disorders.
Macvarish Uses and Abuses of Biology 28 March 2014
Presentation by Dr Jan Macvarish, entitled The Uses and Abuses of Biology: Neuroscience, Parenting and British Family Policy, given to the conference of the same name on Friday 28 March 2014, Birkbeck, London University. The conference was organised by the Centre for Parenting Culture Studies, the University of Kent.
Effects of Drugs on the Brain
The document summarizes research on how drugs of abuse affect the developing adolescent brain. It finds that the prefrontal cortex, which governs judgment and decision making, matures last between ages 18-24. It also finds that adolescent brains are more susceptible than adult brains to the reinforcing and cognitive impairing effects of alcohol, and more sensitive to its social disinhibiting effects. The implications are that understanding adolescent brain development can enhance prevention programs by educating youth and their parents.

Cerebro adolescente
This document summarizes research on the maturation of the adolescent brain. It finds that the brain remains in an active state of development during adolescence, particularly in the limbic system which impacts risk-taking behaviors. Magnetic resonance imaging studies show that myelination and development of neurocircuitry, which are influenced by sex hormones, continue into adolescence. As a result, the adolescent brain exhibits impulsive behaviors and is vulnerable to substance abuse due to an immature prefrontal cortex and limbic system. Factors like genetics, environment, nutrition, sleep, and stress can also influence adolescent brain maturation.
AutismOne Conference 2017
The document discusses environmental endocrine disruption and its effects. It presents on the topic by Leslie Carol Botha at the AutismOne 2017 conference. Some key points made include:
- We have failed to consider the impacts of misdiagnosis and increased incidence of illness due to a more toxic environment affecting the endocrine system.
- Most people have little knowledge about the endocrine system and the diseases that can arise when it breaks down. Environmental degradation is even causing abnormal hormone responses in many women.
- Exposure to chemicals like BPA and ethinyl estradiol can cause gene expression changes in turtles' brains and alter their behaviors, indicating long-lasting effects from developmental exposure.

Natural Treatments for ADHD - April 11, 2018
This presentation will be delivered April 11, 2018 on recorded webinar for the Autism Global Conference. It was my pleasure to prepare and present this lecture (in webinar form), outlining a coherent philosophy of finding biological underpinnings that can cause or contribute to, or exacerbate, mental dysfunction. In the case of this presentation, the question is "How much of ADHD symptomatology is caused by a lack of a good medication, or, rather, lack of a coherent strategy for finding and fixing underlying biological abnormalities?"
Those biological abnormalities in this presentation include MTHFR polymorphisms, COMT polymorphisms, elemental deficiencies (lithium, magnesium, zinc, iron, and copper), essential fatty acid deficiencies, the confound of high fructose corn syrup, and many others.
Rational strategies for nutraceutical intervention are reviewed.
Module 2 Human Development Discussion.pdf
1. Physical growth is rapid in the first two years as body size increases dramatically and brain development occurs at an astounding pace, though children vary in their physical maturity.
2. Motor skills, perception, cognition, language, emotion, temperament, attachment, and self-awareness all develop remarkably during this time through complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors.
3. Caregiving practices and early stimulation are crucial for promoting healthy physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional development in infancy and toddlerhood.
Drug Abuse & Recovery.pdf
This document discusses drug abuse and addiction from a scientific perspective. It defines addiction as a chronic brain disease characterized by compulsive drug use despite harmful consequences. Drugs change the brain's structure and function, which can lead to harmful behaviors. While people initially take drugs for pleasure, stress relief, or performance enhancement, over time drug use takes over their lives and they compulsively seek drugs despite problems. Continued drug abuse impairs a person's self-control, which is a hallmark of addiction. The document frames addiction as a serious medical condition, not a moral failing.
soa_2014.pdf
This document provides an overview of drug abuse and addiction. It discusses how drug abuse affects the brain and behavior, leading to addiction which is a chronic relapsing brain disease. Adolescence is a critical time for preventing addiction as the brain is still developing and early drug use increases risk. Research shows that research-based prevention programs targeting risk and protective factors can significantly reduce early drug use and prevent addiction by strengthening families, schools, and communities.
Sleep Health Issues for Children with FASD: Clinical Considerations
This document discusses sleep health issues for children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). Children with FASD frequently experience severe and persistent sleep disturbances that can negatively impact daily activities, cognition, behavior, health, and management. However, few health professionals are familiar with both FASD and sleep disorders. The types of sleep disorders seen in children with FASD are similar to those seen in children with other forms of severe cognitive impairment and brain damage, such as difficulties falling asleep, frequent night awakenings, and early morning wakings. Effective treatment of sleep issues is important for children with FASD, yet comprehensive information on managing their sleep disturbances is lacking.
Refugee Network Presentation
The document discusses the psychological impacts of early childhood trauma on refugee children based on lessons learned from child protection research. It covers key topics like the importance of early development, theories of child development, outcomes of development, risk factors for poor outcomes, and the clinician's role in caring for refugee children. The clinician aims to promote optimal health, development, and family support for refugee children who face risks from their traumatic experiences.
Refugee Network Presentation
The document discusses the importance of early childhood development and the impacts of trauma on children. It notes that early experiences shape lifelong patterns of behavior by changing the brain's structure and function. Childhood trauma, neglect, and poor attachment can negatively impact cognitive, emotional, social, and behavioral development, with effects often persisting into adulthood. Research on child development has led to understanding how to advantage children through supportive early experiences.
Adverse Childhood Experiences: What We Know About Tennessee
Early childhood experiences and environments can have significant impacts on brain development and long-term health and well-being. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), such as abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction, are unfortunately common and can disrupt brain architecture and increase health risks like heart disease and substance abuse later in life. However, protective factors like strong relationships and social support can help buffer children from trauma. Tennessee is working to increase awareness of ACEs and support children and families through strategies like universal home visiting programs and promoting positive parenting.

- 1. The Physiology of Addiction What Every Parent Must Know About Your Tween/Teen’s Brain Development In this presentation, Barbara Veit describes: v the messaging system in the brain that is targeted by substances of abuse v how substances of abuse disrupt the brain’s messaging system and why this leads to addiction v risk factors associated with developing addiction v the neurobiology of the developing brain that makes the adolescent brain -- not the adult brain -- vulnerable to developing addiction This program features Truth Pharm’s West-Coast Director, molecular biologist Barbara Veit, whose research focuses on the long-term impact of addictive substances on the developing brain. Addiction is an illness that disrupts messaging pathways in the brain, altering its physiology and causing profound behavioral changes. There is increasing attention to teen-brain development and the way it impacts how teens behave and take risks – such as using alcohol and drugs, which in turn “programs” the developing brain for a lifetime of addiction.
