Chapter nine was talk over how Dance/Movement Psychotherapy in early childhood treatments. For the period of this chapter they discussed three different case studies that involved children from the ages of 2-five years old. When reading the case studies I was unclear on what was the actual problem because they gave very slight information. For example the case study with Francesca who was just three years old, and did not move for 24hours. She is hooked up to several tubes through a port on her…
Childhood schizophrenia is a mental health issue that leads to emotional issues that can emerge in early childhood and can be detrimental to a child’s development physically, socially, and emotionally. In my essay, I will discuss the process in terms of how this disorder arises during childhood, the emotional challenges that youth face when interacting with people and navigating their social worlds.

Authoritative parents are firm, setting clear and consistent limits. Although they tend to be relatively strict they are loving and emotionally supportive. They were defiantly firm in the way that I…
