Sharon is a 6 month, 185 lbs. healthy woman. She presents with no problems during the pregnancy. She is concern with exercise that will help in the development of her baby and keep her healthy though out the duration of her pregnancy. The plan that I have suggested for her would include walking, swimming, and low pressure aerobics or yoga. All of these exercise will not only benefit her baby but also benefit her as well. Walking was one of the exercises that was suggested. Simply walking 1 to 2 miles per day or something as counting your steps can improve the circulation in the body, increase the cardio system as well as keep her in shape during the pregnancy. This will also aid the delivery process, it allows Mother Nature to do her thing and shift the baby in the downward position for birth. It will aid in making the laboring process easier for some mother and some it will not. The walking keeps the mother fit and healthy during and after having the baby. Swimming is another relaxing exercise that was suggested to the mother. When the body is under water it feels weightless and therefore giving some women a lift off on some well need places on her body during this time. Performing simple strokes with the arms and legs is good for the circulation that many women suffer from during pregnancy. The need for some women to get the feeling that the weight has been lifted if only for a few minutes is a great relief both physical and mentally to expecting mothers. Also using the arms and legs is also good on the cardio system as well. Other simple exercises that can be used are low pressure aerobics and or yoga. Exercise such as these are good for stretching the muscles that will be used in the laboring process.…

This essay will address questions that support early childhood education programs, such as discussing the trend, research, and analysis which supports the programs.…
Few studies have explored the attitudes of African American parents about child disability and Early Intervention Services.

Many researchers have taken time to learn more about how factors in an infant’s life can affect the way they develop and how it can affect their school years and adulthood. The vast majority of our development occurs in the first years of life, so what happens to us as an infant can be an indicator as to what kind of person we will become later on in life. If one experienced infancy being nurtured by loving caregivers who met their needs, researchers can predict that he or she would turn out to be a so-called normal adult who would face less issues concerning mental health.…
9.) A factorial ANOVA was conducted to compare the main effect of gender and childhood psychosocial intervention on reducing internalizing symptoms in adulthood. First it is necessary to look at the descriptive statistics to give us a general result of the differences. According to the tables, the adulthood internalizing symptoms for males (M=56.45, SD= .49) was slightly different with that for females (M=57.80, SD= .71); the adulthood internalizing symptoms with psychosocial intervention (M=56.14, SD= .62) was lower than that without this intervention (M=58.10, SD= .60). Among female participants, people who received the treatment (M=56.99, SD=1.04) was lower than those who did not received (M=58.61, SD= .96); among male participants, people…

The second half of my observation time was spent in a 4th grade classroom at Carver Elementary School in the Neosho R-5 school district. I was a bit leery when I first learned that I would be observing this age group, but it proved to be a wonderful, educational, and inspiring experience. From beginning to end, my time spent at Carver was nothing short of delightful. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, I learned many applicable lessons that I will be able to utilize in my own career as an educator.…

'Education To Be More' was published last August. It was the report of the New Zealand Government's Early Childhood Care and Education Working Group. The report argued for enhanced equity of access and better funding for childcare and early childhood education institutions.
