Parental Responsiveness Parental responsiveness refers to the way parents respond and meet their child’s needs and demands. Often, parents will respond quickly when their child cries. Even though they might respond quickly, it can still be difficult to calm down the child. This usually results in the parents being frustrated and not being able to figure out what’s wrong with the child. Especially, when they’ve covered all the common reasons children cry like being wet, hungry, or tired. So, the…

What is kangaroo care? Kangaroo care is defined as skin to skin contact where baby is placed on their parent’s bare chest in nothing but a diaper, and both parent and baby are covered with a blanket. We have been taught that skin to skin contact of mother and baby is essential for “parent to infant attachment/bonding,” especially directly after birth. It can help facilitate the baby’s first experience with breastfeeding (thus providing the baby with nutrient rich colostrum in the first milk),…

Ugh, the stench. The smell overwhelmed my nostrils, and a sour taste collected in the back of my throat. It looked even worse. The room seemed more like a Banksy museum—if Banksy museums were filled with half empty cup noodles, emptied out yogurt cups, and half eaten donuts. It’s hard to imagine that a human did this. As I pushed the window wide open, I thought to myself “I don’t get paid enough for this.” Said every housekeeper ever. Collect the trash. Turn off the air conditioner. I looked…

“Escherichia coli (E. coli) are a large and diverse group of bacteria” ( Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2012). The main reservoirs include the intestines of animals as well as in human beings. A great number of these bacteria, E. coli, are harmless and form an important part of the normal flora which is part of a healthy human intestinal tract. E. coli can also be found in contaminated meat which in most cases is transmitted through cattle feces during the slaughtering process.…

Joe, hearing the beeping of the trash truck, thought there was a bomb in his house. He ran through the house searching in the closet, in the refrigerator, in the dishwasher, and the bedrooms trying to find the bomb. In reality, there was no bomb. Joe came home from the war with many challenges to overcome. One of the many challenges was that he stayed in fighting mode for a long. Coming home after the war veterans struggle, though they often try to hide it. When people think of veterans, they…

Growing up I always dreamed about what it would be like to become a nurse. After gaining employment at the University of Florida Health as an electrocardiogram tech and being able to work closely with nurses, I learned that being a nurse can be even more demanding than I imagined. It can entail long work hours, no breaks, and a heap of overtime. In addition, the work of nurses puts them in close contact with patients who have infectious diseases. Even though being a nurse can be somewhat…

On November 25, 2011 at 11:34 AM, my life changed forever. As I lay on the operating table in a daze, I heard the muffled cries of my tiny newborn son for the first time. From the moment they rose him up over the sheet, I fell in love. I had a handsome little boy. The feelings that I had experienced were greater than I have ever felt before. Even though he was covered in vernix, a greasy white substance that protects the skin from the amniotic fluid (“First Day”), to me he was perfect. With…

In the article, Centers for Disease and Control and Prevention, it states, “In 2013, a total of 273,105 babies were born to women aged between 15 through 19.” Many people believe that shows like “16 and Pregnant” promote teenage pregnancies, but I think the shows deters teenage girls from becoming pregnant. In “16 and Pregnant” many mothers struggle through stress, go through breakups, and go through being isolated. In this specific show, many mothers show that stress is built during being…

Mothers are essential for life to continue to be born. Carrying a fetus and giving birth are gifts that only women can experience. Some mothers choose to stay home with their children and some mothers work outside the home while raising children. The way a mother is raised greatly impacts the type of mother she becomes. The world is generally made up of five types of mothers: the perfectionist mother, the unpredictable mother, the selfish mother, the "best friend" mother, and the well-rounded…
