Overhastiness In Children

Improved Essays
more children with ADHD together. It looks like chaos, but the children have a wonderful time playing together and they understand one another perfectly well. In years gone by I often wanted to intervene to get everyone involved and to explain the rules. However, they are perfectly capable of doing it themselves, albeit in a lan- guage that is very difficult to follow. They involve one another and no-one is side- lined or rejected.
Overhastiness
ADHD suffers often misinterpret instructions and other information because they react overhastily. This applies to both children and adults. They also often have poor auditory processing skills and do not always understand what they hear (on those occasions when they are actually listening!).

    After watching the documentary film Consuming Kids (Directors A. Barbaro and J. Earp, (2008), I had some interesting insights about how childhood was influenced by media and technology. In addition, I found it interesting how advertisement industries manipulated children into commercials signifying to children that the key to happiness was through having certain brand things in order to be cool in past and present society, but the film did not show how values shaped childhood too. What the film lacked in showing were the processes it took in order to have stuff. I also thought it was neat how the film showed how the children’s movie “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was turned into a commodity, and advertisement outlet targeting children as consumers. I thought this was interesting because advertisers and media outlets draw on children to make billions of dollars in revenue by producing things such as TMT action figures, comic books, lunch boxes, sheet sets, and on food products like macaroni and cheese.…

Similar to blood typing, different regulations are required when transfusing a pediatric patient. Although it is safe for any pediatric age to receive any type of blood component, it is necessary to first research the amount that should be given.…
