    Letter To Swift Nutrition

    There seem to be some issues with this letter, as it falls apart when considering the ratio of the students who like and ones who dislike the meal offered by the Swift nutrition. Firstly, the mother who wrote this letter has only heard about the food from her son and his friends. She has not spoken to other students from his class and not with other parents. It might be that her son is fond of very healthy foods, including excessive fats and calories. He could have plotted with his friends about the issue to deceive her mother so that she can give him healthy food in the lunchbox.…

    The reason why it’s important to discuss developmental milestones with families regularly from the beginning is because we need to help the child achieve the milestones. When the caregivers aren’t present, it’s important for the family members to try and help the child at home with achieving the milestone. From the beginning to the present, many things could change in the child’s developmental milestones. Like to see if the child has made any progress since the beginning and if they did then head towards the new milestone and if not think of ways to help achieve the milestone. I thought that Ms. Carolyn communicated nicely with David’s mom.…

Pippa took a deep breath and continued walking onwards, toward the long line of people that were just standing in some line.…

    “Through Glass” Family unity is achieved through each family member supporting each other and working together in harmony. Although this is not the case in the play The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams. In this play the family is portrayed as dysfunctional, they seem to be together because they feel obligated to be part of the Wingfield family. The father abandoned the family, making Amanda, his wife, responsible for the children, Tom and Laura. As time passed, Tom felt obligated to maintain the family.…

While I watched the movie, I learned that the character is facing the hardship of a rare disease (familial Alzheimer’s disease). The biggest question if whether the character is still Alice because of the changes that she is going through with her disease.…

    My personal view regarding the policy is that one of the key reasons for the enactment of this policy is that kids will grow and develop to become healthy adults. This is a bi- partisan legislation and the USDA has ruled out regulations with regards to food choices and caloric intake ensuring that meals served to kids will be healthy nutritious and portioned sizes to age requirements. For these and all other reasons discussed it is evident that there have been developmental issues with relations to the becoming adults, choices that are being made and the devastating effects of not paying attention to chronological age, needs at the time and the effects of lack of needs being met in growth, human development, mental development, psychological development, social development and moral development. Children will be given a better opportunity to education which will affect their growth and development.…
