Endocrine Metabolism Age specific variations of growth and development. Within this age group there are congenital and acquired conditions that cause alterations in growth patterns. First, from Nursing Care of Infants and children, states that growth patterns can be altered due to a disease called Chronic Renal Failure (CRF). (Hockenberry, Wilson, 2015,p.1029) In this disease it causes the kidneys to “no longer maintain the normal chemical structure of body fluids (Hockenberry, Wilson, 2015, p.1029).” One of the most common causes “of CRF before age 5 years are congenital renal and urinary tract malformations. (Hockenberry, Wilson, 2015, p.1029)” This causes delayed growth in the child, which “is poorly understood but may be related to nutritional

Children three to five years old are grouped into the Preoperational Phase of Piaget’s theory (Hockenberry, Wilson, 2015, p.539). From the Nursing Care of Infants and Children states, the preoperational phase ranges from two to seven year olds and is divided into two groups dependent on the age and intellectual ability of the child. The preconceptual phase; age’s two to four is “egocentric thought,” (Hockenberry, Wilson, 2015, p.525) where the child is only able to see the world from their point of view. The next phase is intuitive thought ages four to seven, where the child’s mind shifts to “social awareness and the ability to consider others viewpoints, however egocentrism is still evident” (Hockenberry, Wilson, 2015, p.525). In this time period preschoolers “language continues to develop,” (Hockenberry, Wilson, 2015, p.525) where the child is only able to think of one idea or concept at a time, and “thinks that everyone thinks as they do” (Hockenberry, Wilson, 2015, p.525). know the physiological factors that are happening in the …show more content…
Development aspects of sexuality is present in children ranging in ages three to five. Preschoolers identify themselves within their peer groups, siblings, and parents. (Hockenberry, Wilson, 2015, p.527) Depending on the environment in which the child is raised they begin to “develop the behavior, personality, attitudes, beliefs, of [their community and parents] … called sext taping. (Hockenberry, Wilson, 2015. p.527) Allowing children to identify themselves into the two categories of gender. Three to five year olds are able “to go beyond gender recognition [in which they start] sex role imitation, where they dress up, like mommy and daddy.” (Hockenberry, Wilson, 2015, p.527) School factors in as well due to the child’s peers, where sexuality is very prominent. In which “attitudes and responses of others to role playing can condition the child to adopt particular views of self,” for example “boys shouldn’t play with dolls” (Hockenberry, Wilson, 2015,
