of the trust versus mistrust stage, they begin to rely less on their caregivers and desire to accomplish tasks on their own. At this stage, which typically occurs from eighteen months to three years, children begin struggling with the crisis of autonomy and how they should feel about desiring it (Swartwood, p. 84). “With appropriate and patient guidance from caregivers” children develop this “sense of autonomy,” but caregivers are often too busy to wait for children to perform tasks on their own…

These caregivers can be in a unique position of having children of their own, who also require care. The tremendous pressure placed on caregivers to provide for everyone around them has been studied at length. However, research into changing family structures has been less prevalent in the literature. The caregiver might not be related to the care-receiver biologically; sometimes they are friends or neighbors…

Child abuse has many facets and is hard to put into a single definition; however, it can be narrowed down to “when a parent or caregiver, whether through action or failing to act, causes injury, death, emotional harm or risk of serious harm to a child”(O’Meara and Fedderson, n.d., para. 1). Some of us couldn’t imagine harming an innocent child, yet some parents and caregivers do inflict such harmful actions on the children they are supposed to be nurturing. Child abuse doesn’t affect a certain…

Maturation refers to the gradual progression of development over time. As I grew older my brain began to develop and the neurons began to mature. The result was an increase in the number of synapses made, 15,000 per neuron, although many that were unused were eliminated through synaptic pruning, a process which is a completely normal step in development. Through the increase in synapses, a complex network of neural pathways was developed, allowing for the sending of messages with the help of…

Nurses can serve as diabetes educators to the client and the caregivers. The challenge of identifying the individuals and effectively managing their diabetes requires close case management. “However, difficulties can arise with people with ID engaging with health services as a result of communication deficits, behavior problems and not understanding why a blood test is required” (Taggart, Coates & Truesdale-Kennedy, 2013, p. 1160) Caregivers should prepare the client for their health care by…

Deciding if it is best to send a child to daycare is a very stressful situation for parents. They after all only want what is best for their child. But many parents are unsure about whether or not daycare will damage their child in any way. The answer, much to the relief of many parents who have no other choice, is that daycare can mold children that are more cognitively and socially competent than those raised solely by the parents at home. It has also been shown that children put in early…
