I observed a child throwing a fit at the mall the other day. This child did not want to leave the store and did not want to get into her stroller. She started to throw her head back and scream very loudly. Then she would throw her arms around and kick, in an attempt to not be strapped in. The mother started to yell at her daughter to stop while trying to strap her in. After a few minutes of the child kicking and screaming she was able to strap her in. But the child continued to scream, this was when the mother decided to leave the mall. My recommendation is that instead of trying to force the child into the stroller the parent could have held the child. Trying her best to calm her down, since the child was throwing around her body while the…

Aims: In this visit I am going to make some small and big chocolate buns with Ellis. I think this will help his physical development, especially his sensory development as well as helping understand that you need patience. I think this will help him understand the difference between big and small buns and I will see if he can tell the difference. I will also look out for when he is giving the buns out to people after we have made them. I will see if he asks if they want a big or small one.…

In Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s essay “Concerning Children” she explains that people are temporarily children, and far more permanently (wo)men. She believes that when parenting a child, the key to molding him/her into a successful adult is not by making them 100% obedient and telling them to do things “because I said so”, but by telling them to do something and explaining why so they understand what they’re doing (Gilaman527-530).…
In a 1997 article in the Boston Globe, Dr. T. Berry Brazelton of Cambridge Massachusetts says he has had more parents ask about co-sleeping in recent years then ever before. “I began to realize that working mothers and single parents really could not leave their baby at night. They have been away too long, it’s too hard for them…How can we make mothers feel guilty when they have such deep issues to deal with?”…

The education that you need to become a pediatrician requires many years of school and learning. During high school, it is recommend that you take the basic science courses such as biology, chemistry, physics, as well as math course such as algebra, geometry and calculus. It is also recommend that you take humanities courses such as English and a different language. The best language to start learning in high school is Spanish. Once you’ve finished high school, you’ll continue your studies in college. In college, most pediatricians have to take a premed curriculum, which relies and strengthens your knowledge of sciences that you obtained during high school. Though, biology has different sub-subjects such as genetics, microbiology and molecular biology. Chemistry also has different sub-subjects as well, known as the basic and organic chemistry. For physics, you only need to take one course in basic, though with the math courses, you need to take two courses in calculus. While in college, pediatricians will take four years of these undergraduate courses, which will get you a BS, BA, or other Bachelor’s degree. Once you’re done with the undergraduate program, they then proceed to four years of medical school which will allow them to get an MD or DO degree.…
In my family day care my goal is to make sure all children from 0-5 years old who attend KDM Day Care have a safe environment to learn and play, keeping my Day care safe is prevent or reduce injuries while children are in my care. It is an important goal for me to make sure that I check the child care environment every day inside and outside checked the room completely. outside, I check to be sure that there are no rusting equipment before children arrive. Another way I make sure that outlet plugs are in place, no dangerous objects or broken toys in the child care space, check all smoke/carbon alarms make sure they are up to date and working properly. we practice Fire/Tornado drills once a month. All emergency numbers posted including poison control center, provider and parents numbers They are being taught that using safety skills is important. I always make sure where they are and where I can see and hear them, even when they are napping. My goal is to have a safe and happy environment for my children and others to play and learn.…
The practice of co-sleeping has succeeded throughout human evolution and has continued over the years of our civilization despite controversy and the liability of infant deaths. Over the last couple of decades co-sleeping has become a major debate amongst parents in the United States, but I believe that pediatricians and parent educators should encourage co-sleeping with children.…
For me as a former worker in the medical field, who is coming from the other part of the world, the predilection for medicament over usage in the U.S. was always surprising. Therefore, I was expecting to see in this video issues about psycho-neurological side effects of overmedicated in somatically ill child.…
In my opinion, diagnosing young children with mental illnesses that are usually found in adults and prescribing multiple medications is ridiculous. I understand that a child with an adult mental illness is possible, but I don’t think a pediatrician or general health doctor should be able to diagnose these illnesses, let alone prescribe medications. They should be trained to recognize signs and symptoms and make a referral to a children’s mental health doctor that is more knowledgeable on the subject. Only after a series of multifactor tests and observations should there be a diagnosis and prescription. These prescriptions should be designed for children, not adults, and should be tested so that the side effects are known beforehand. The case about DJ, the four year old boy with bipolar disorder, bothered me the most. DJ was taking up to four different antipsychotic drugs at a time, which caused several different things, such as ticks, drooling and excessive eating. This excessive eating has led to obesity and type 2 diabetes in some children. These prescriptions can cause lifelong problems and sometimes death, when the quantity and mixture of prescriptions is enough. Overall, this video shocked and angered me. Doctors should not be so excited about a new trend and be more careful with their prescribing. They should also do more to inform parents of the consequences, not just the benefits. If on medication causes some undesirable effect, they should try to figure out what they can do to fix it besides prescribing more…
