400 Child Behavior Analysis

Decent Essays
A study in the United Kingdom tested 400 kids over the course of 8 years.They tracked their activity levels one week when they were the ages 7,9,12, and 15. The final results showed that the kids stopped as much activity when they were around 7. After this their activity rate just kept going down. For boys 61 percent were active when the study began and then it went down from there. Unlike you would think girls were 62 percent active and they also dropped. The team that tested the 400 kids said that their was no cause and effect, that this just happened naturally. The report was published and it helped inform parents on when to put their kids in activity. I think that this relates to our class because it gives you a clear picture

    For this extended assignment I have chosen to look at how behaviour may affect children's or young people's development. Negative behaviour can be seen when the children's and young people's needs are not being met such as lack of sleep and when they are hungry. Difficult behaviour can be caused by a trauma or a crisis that has happened in the child's life. Children may show this kind of behaviour because they want to be the centre of attention or if they are not getting their own way and they may behave inappropriately in order to get their own way. Other examples that could affect children's behaviour include if a member of the family in the child's life such as mother or father has left and they may think that it's their fault .Also…

    Obesity In South Dakota

    • 914 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The current obesity rate for South Dakota high school students is 14.7%, ranking South Dakota as the 12th highest state out of 43 with high school obesity. Historically, the obesity rate of high school students was lower than 14.7% with 1999-2001 being the lowest at 7.5%, but has been steadily climbing year after year to an astonishing doubled rate. With the trend of adult obesity at 30.4% and still rising, there is no doubt that high school obesity is a direct causation to adult obesity. An abstract published in 2011 from the National Library of Medicine states that obesity is a problem in the United States and South Dakota, with South Dakota’s obesity being higher than the national prevalence. South Dakota’s Department of Health has been…

    “Assessment of Physical Activity Levels of 3rd and 4th Grade Children Using Pedometers during Physical Education Class” 1. This research study was also found on the ERIC database. After reading and analyzing two studies that discussed strategies on encouraging physical activity and/or education in the schools, the importance of who is teaching the class, and then also the support the school gets for physical activity, I found this study interesting since it dealt with the actual physical education class and what the children were actually getting out of the class. A school may have physical education classes but if the students are not benefitting from the thirty to forty-five minutes spent in the class, then it does them no good. I searched…

    “Inactivity is associated with the tripling of childhood obesity since 1970” (Jarret). Recess could dramatically curb that number much lower then that of previous years. Since technology is taking over, most children spend the majority of their free time at home playing video games, watching television, or searching the web. Fifteen to twenty minutes of physical activity a day is all that most children need to stay physically fit and healthy. If not, the lack of physical activity could prove detrimental, and the childhood obesity rate could be, once again, on the rise.…
