Forum 2 Early Childhood

Topic: Helping Kids Succeed Question/Prompt:

Developmental psychologists agree that self-esteem in middle childhood tends to decrease.

This is unfortunate as self-efficacy (the belief that one has the ability to succeed) is recognized as a strong predictor of success in many areas of life such as academics and athletics (Artino, 2012).

The three articles in the Reading & Study for this module/week contain information to help understand why self-esteem decreases, and what parents and other supportive adults can do to help children maintain a strong sense of confidence in their ability to succeed. Create a thread of 250–400 words.

In your thread, Talk about ideas presented in the Reading & Study articles that explain why self-esteem often decreases during middle childhood (write this in your own words, but be sure to cite your source using APA guidelines). Illustrate this fact with a real-life scenario (this can be something you experienced or observed).

Tell how a concerned adult might help a child successfully navigate this situation, using information from one of the articles to support your ideas (again, write this in your own words, and be sure to cite your source using APA guidelines). Note that your thread must cite at least one item of information from each of the articles provided.

Discussion: Developmental Red Flags

 

Paper details:

Wellness visits are an important part of pediatric primary care.

During these visits, patient growth and development are assessed. As an advanced practice nurse who performs these assessments, you must be able to distinguish between normal and abnormal growth and development to recognize red flags. While some patients may not meet milestones due to differences in rates of development, abnormal development might also be a red flag of an underlying problem. In this Discussion, you examine the following case studies and consider potential developmental red flags.

Case Study 3 Jose is a 36-month-old who presents for a preschool evaluation. His father reports the following development: Physical: Walks, runs, and jumps independently, walks up stairs alternating feet, pedals a three-wheeler, scribbles, copies circles and squares, and is able to balance on one foot for 2 to 3 seconds. Social: Recognizes three colors; speech is 75% understandable; uses three- to four-word sentences; talks about friends, favorite activities, and family; frequently engages in imitative play; has an imaginary friend; does stutter on occasion when excited or when intent on getting something said. Will typically repeat the first word in a sentence three to four times, but does not repeat syllables or consonants. This happens three to four times a week. To prepare: Think about how physical, social, and cognitive development vary during infancy, toddlerhood, and the preschool years. Reflect on normal versus abnormal growth and development and consider the decision-making process of identifying and managing red flags of abnormal development. Select one of the three case studies provided. Reflect on the patient information included in the case study and consider any developmental red flags. Reflect on standardized screening tools, clinical guidelines, and management strategies that would be used to assess and manage the patient in your selected case study. By Day 3 Post an explanation of the following: 1. Developmental red flags that presented on the stages of normal physical, social, and cognitive development for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. Based on the red flags identified within the physical, social, and cognitive what additional questions should you ask? What additional examinations will you conduct? 2. Explain how you differentiated between normal and abnormal growth and development for this patient. 3. Identify which standardized screening tools, clinical guidelines, and management strategies you might use to assess and manage this patient and why. 4. Health, promotion and anticipatory guidance: – Based on the child’s age, discuss which immunizations this child should have received by now? – When are the next set of immunizations? – Which ones should be given? – When should this child return to clinic?

Paper details:

Research question: How does Sport Psychology effect Child and Adolescent Development? write up a critical evaluation of at least three peer-reviewed scholarly articles based on: Relevance. Credibility and authority. Timeliness. Sources. Audience. Bias and point of view. you should have identified at least three key themes, or focuses of inquiry, that are relevant to your research question and present in each article. These themes may be based on: Related aspects of research questions. Related or differing conclusions. Other factors or ideas the studies have in common. Other points of contrast between the studies. Use concise formulations of these themes as headings for the next sections of the paper. In these sections, compare and contrast your resources’ positions relative to each theme, and then synthesize your own position relative to the theme. Support your conclusions by citing your references. However, if you find that more research would be needed to decide a question, briefly outline ideas of how that could be undertaken. Granello’s 2001 article, “Promoting Cognitive Complexity in Graduate Written Work,” provides a framework and strategies to help you work through this part of your assignment. Application and Research Vision Once you identify your themes and analyze the literature, you are ready to apply the techniques, strategies, best practices, and other findings to your professional practice. Discuss how you would apply these findings to your future professional practice in psychology. Analyze how these findings could help you accomplish the functions, responsibilities, and ethics required of a psychology professional. You are encouraged to cite information from your interview with a psychology professional here; however, remember to critically evaluate the information you use. What techniques, strategies, and best practices are indicated by your research? What enhanced outcomes can be expected when they are applied?.

Your answers should be at least 200 words. You also need to show support (citation) for your opinion. 1. Which perspective intrigues you and why? Behaviorism 2.
