Caregiver

I chose a video of an infant (presumably under the age of two) interacting with puppies while receiving instructions or feedback from what looks to be the parents and the caregiver of the dogs. In the video, the little boy is meeting with new born puppies under the supervision of his parents and the puppy caregiver. Although this video is eight minutes long, the part that I observed ran from 3:29-6:24. He interacts verbally and physically with the puppies. The adults are facilitating learning…

appropriate explanations are used (“Your mommy did a bad thing and now she’s in a really long time out”). Other caregivers reveal the information using excessive and frightening details about the mother’s crime and arrest, or give distorted explanations, such as the mother being on vacation or in the hospital; sometimes the child is told nothing at all (Poehlmann, 2005). It is possible that caregivers who give children a distorted explanation, or no explanation at all, are trying to spare the…

Every year more than three million children are abused in the United States.(Child Helpcenter pg. 1). Child abuse is 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.

to be blamed. As a woman, being a family care-taker does not stop with children; but it also plays a role in caring for elderly parents. Daughters and even daughters-in-law are much more likely to care for aging parents than sons. Today, 90% of caregivers providing assistance to parents are either daughters or daughters-in-law (Boyd &…

For example, a nurse should not only ensure that they exercise and take good care of themselves by committing to a healthy regiment, but also to express a willingness to support a patient that needs motivation to begin a healthy routine. A caregiver could walk with a patient every day that they are assigned to the patient’s area.

he endured and view some of the probable causes that could have influenced his own mother to mistreat him. Crosson-Tower (2014) says that “it is agreed, however, that physical abuse of children refers to the non-accidental injury inflicted by a caregiver.” (pg. 96) Dave’s mothers believed that punishing the “bad boy” consisted of punishments that brought literal pain unto her child. One of the punishments he had received was having his arm held on top of the…

the community environment that surround him. The community level support system is essential in providing an all-round system of care for the child. Although studies have shown that the community level support programs cannot replace the primary caregiver, they are the second best alternative by offering a secondary support in the form of educational services, counseling, specialized care, housing and substance addiction…
