Major transitions throughout a child’s life from 0 to 17yrs happen as the usual course of events of growing up. First day at nursery, subsequent schools according to age, girls starting periods and also moving house can be considered ‘common’ transitions. There are though, some transitions that not all children experience as a matter of course, these are known as ‘uncommon’ transitions and for those children that the unexpected does happen to, then have to deal with their feelings about it, the outcome and the overall effect that particular change makes to their personality. Many children can come through a particular change unscathed, but for most children coping with the divorce of parents or the death of a close relative for instance, can not only be life-changing, but can also have a profound effect on their personality and any choices they may make in the future. In children 0-3 yrs, the uncommon transition due to divorce or separation makes no sense to them. They have no understanding of the reasons why it has happened, but the reaction they show will usually be signs of sadness and being frightened. Sometimes (but not always) they can show ‘anger’ feelings towards siblings. It can also bring about regression in their behaviour, such as bed-wetting again or becoming clingy and not want the parent still at home to go anywhere without them. The 3-7yr primary school children will have a very similar reaction, although these slightly older children do have a tendency to show aggression – not quite so much towards siblings, but to the parent at home. They will blame the parent they live with (even though it may not have been that parents’ choice), yet feel no animosity towards the parent who left. This makes it very hard for the parent at home to comfort them or listen to the outpouring of rage, when it is misdirected. This age group cannot be reasoned with, because the only way of doing so, is to explain the reasons why the missing parent…

I am not a professional reader, nor am I a professional writer. As a matter of fact, I don’t like writing at all, but then writing is a part of life. I was only 6 years old when I started to take an interest in reading and also started to learn how to read. My grandmother was a greater reader. She would read to me all the time and encourage me to read anything I could get my hands on. I would always see her with a book during her spare time.…
Physical development is the process that starts in infancy and progresses into late adolescence, concentrating on motor skills as well as puberty. Physical development involves developing control over the body, particularly muscles and physical coordination. As I have become more educated about the physical development of children throughout infancy, early, middle/late childhood, and adolescence, I have come to an understanding that there are several necessary steps that can be taken to ensure that a child has optimum physical development. Some of these steps should be taken in the first few years in the child’s life and some should be taken in the later years of the child’s life.…

I am an average 16 year who just can’t wait to grow up and face the real world and not have to worry about any rules or restrictions. On January 12th, 1996, my parents named me Asmaa, so I have to stick with that name for the rest of my life. Personally, I like the name because it’s the name of a very great person; more of a hero in Islam. Names in my family go with a pattern; but this only goes for girls. The pattern is the double ‘A’ at the end of the name. Shaymaa is the leader of the tribe yet she doesn’t control any of us. Next in line are me and my twin sister Alyaa. We are the decision makers in the household, everyone takes our opinion before doing anything or taking any steps .I would like to mention that I am the older twin; but that doesn’t really help me in anyway because she is treated as the ‘wiser one’. I am known as the smiley easy going twin and Alyaa is known as the serious harsher twin. There are 5 years between Omar and me, which makes me the mature older sister that he could come to for advice. Esraa is the little seven year old diva of the house. She likes to imitate models and celebrities and act like she rules the planet. The sixth child is five year old Tarek who just entered grade one this September. He believes that the world can’t survive without superheroes. Last but certainly not least is my life and my smile, the little flower of the house; Alaa. She is a year and 3 months old. In my mind; she completes the package very well. We kids call ourselves The Power of Seven. We’re 5 girls against 2 guys. Fortunately for us girls, we gang up against the guys and we always get what we want. The girls rule the house because they know how to fight for what they want, they know how to put up a good argument, and plus they’re the majority. Speaking of majority, I am two years away from being an official adult and getting the right to vote; a year and 4 months and day to be exact. I really want…
There are many stages or levels of development for children. The stages start before birth and are known as prenatal stages. This allows for the mother to ensure a healthy, active child. The mother is responsible for following the proper nutritional guides and do’s and don’ts of parenthood. The child will be living as a part of the mother for nine months, so her health is very important. The goal of prenatal care is to promote the health of the mother and child through the pregnancy, delivery, and the child's development (Noonan, Corman, Schwartz-Soicher & Reichman, 2013). The baby develops most of its essential functions and systems, while in the womb. Once the child is born, there are proper guidelines that the parents have to follow to…

The changes which take place during the adolescence stage have various influences. In addition to changes being influenced, factors affect physical, cognitive, social, moral, and personality development. The adolescence stage consists of numerous complex concepts.…
In the 1970s Richard L. Nolan developed the Stages of growth model which describes the evolution of information technology in organizations. It identifies six stages that an organization could pass through. His models have been used widely in both organizational research (Greiner, 1972) and Information Systems (IS) research (Burn, 1994). These models have been used to describe a wide variety of phenomena-the organizational life cycle, product life cycle, biological growth, etc. These models assume that predictable patterns (conceptualized in terms of stages) exist in the growth of organizations (Smith, Mitchell, & Summer, 1985), the sales levels of products, and the growth of living organisms. These stages are (1) sequential in nature, (2) occur as a hierarchical progression that is not easily reversed, and (3) involve a broad range of organizational activities and structures (Lavoie & Culbert, 1978).…
