Describe the key principles of breast and bottle feeding
Unit 11 Task 1 (P1) P1 – Describe the key principles of breast and bottle feeding Some mothers decide to breastfeed because it is known that breast milk is known to be the best type of milk for babies to receive as it changes to meet their nutritional needs. In the first 2-3 days of breastfeeding colostrum is produced which contains antibodies to protect the baby from infection and high levels of protein to promote growth then on the following days the amount of colostrum reduces and the milk starts to come in. Most babies take the milk directly from the mother’s breasts, although it can be expressed and put into bottles. Expressed milk is often used for premature babies who aren’t strong enough to suckle, and also used for other members of family to feed the baby. The main advantages of breast feeding are: . The milk doesn’t have to be warmed or prepared. The milk is always at the right temperature. 2. Breast-feeding is free. 3. The milk changes to meet the baby’s needs. 4. Breast milk is easier digested with colostrum which provides antibodies and high level of protein. 5. Since there is close physical contact between the baby and mother during breastfeeding an emotional bond develops between them. 6. Breastfeeding helps the mother’s uterus contract and get her back into her usual shape. 7. Breastfeeding is less likely to result in an overweight baby.
Explain the potential factors of TWO predictable and TWO unpredictable major life events on the development of an individual
Unit4 P3: Explain the potential factors of TWO predictable and TWO unpredictable major life events on the development of an individual People will face many different life factors and may change due to the affect it might take with the person as some of the events that take place can be positive and some can be negative. Madonna’s predictable – childhood Adulthood. As a child there will be some predictable major life events such as, school life, career and leaving home, during this stage Madonna was very bright she was a straight A student, the reason I think school was predictable for Madonna was because it’s very crucial for children to go school till a certain age if not professionals could get involved so therefore school was important for Madonna’s although it wasn’t the best experience as she was facing a hard time at home due the fact that she look after her siblings and also the lost of her mother at a very young age, her father wasn’t paying the best attention to her, also it could saddens her to know their house help would be her new step mother, school was a release of stress of family for Madonna, however Madonna took advantage of school because that was her social life as it helped her with her emotional as well Madonna was popular which could be advantage of her making new friends she was also in d cheerleading squad which would give her more
Sociological theories and health - feminism and Marxism
M2 Feminism This movement that is dedicated to making sure women have and attain rights and opportunities equal to those enjoyed by men. Feminists believe that women experience discrimination because of their sex and the also have particular needs that remain unmet as to in society. Within the feminist movement, there are various perspectives of what is the main importance. Some feminists hold Marxists views and take into consideration that capitalist society is mostly dominated by men. They believe that that these two factors are repeatedly reinforcing embedding their position as a natural order of society; this continues female oppression both ideologically and economically. Gender and patterns are associated with the feminist approach, as women's expectancy is higher then men as they live 5 years longer then men, as infant mortality rates for boys are higher then those then baby girls, there is also a higher death rate for men this can be associated with the higher levels of alcohol drinking and cigarette smoking, there is also a high death rate for the younger generation of men aged between 17 and 24 this can be associated with risk taking and linked deaths from road accidents, this could be linked to the feminism approach because women are likely to stay at home and look after the children and do household work, they are more likely not to associate with risk taking
I will be explaining the patterns and trends within social groupings such as Social Class & Gender, Ethnicity and Locality.
P3 I'm Anna Smith, in my report I will be explaining the patterns and trends within social groupings such as Social Class & Gender, Ethnicity and Locality. The Black Report and The Health Divide identify the health inequalities that existed in the 80's in relation to social class based on the Registrar Genera's Social Class with high morality rates being seen in the lower social classes' e.g. unskilled and manual workers. Life expectancy nowadays, at birth remains less for those in the lower social classes for males more than female than in the professional and managerial classes. Even though life expectancy at birth has rose for social classes over the past thirty years, inequality has rose. In the year 2004 life expectancy at birth were 77 years for male and 81 years for women. In 1996, the variation in life expectancy at birth between social classes was significant both for both female and male. For male, the variation in life expectancy at birth involving those in the Registrar General's Social class I (profession al) and those in Class V (unskilled manual) was 9.5 years. For female the change 6.4 years. Even though life expectancy at birth was altered over the past 25 years, a differential remains and statistics portray that related patterns are evolving for female as for male, though it is essential to retain that allocating social class to married women is
Reflective accounts - I had to consider whether the children would enjoy the activity and gain more knowledge and understanding from the activity about the solar system.
Practice Evidence Record Diary. Unit 7 -Task 1 P7.1 When organising the activity I had to consider how long the activity would take and if it would be better if all the children participated altogether or in smaller groups. I had to consider whether the children would enjoy the activity and gain more knowledge and understanding from the activity about the solar system. I linked this to the children's curriculum. Knowledge, skills and understanding Light and sound 3. Pupils should be taught: * Light and dark * To identify different light sources, including the Sun * That darkness is the absence of light P7.2- Before doing the activity the teacher asked the children to try and remember as many planets as possible they could think of and list them. For example The Sun, mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto. To help children memorize the names of the planets and their positions in the solar system i came up with an acrostic poem. For example: My (Mercury) Very (Venus) Excited (Earth) Mother (Mars) Just (Jupiter) Served (Saturn) Us (Uranus) Nine (Neptune) Pizzas (Pluto) After the children remembered the planets the teacher told them some of the following facts about the planets such as: * The planets in our Solar System are held in place by the Sun's gravity. * The planets each have their own orbit duration, depending on their
Cache level 3 unit 3- The Children Act 1989 has influenced setting by bringing together several sets of guidance and provided the foundation for many of the standards practitioners sustain and maintain when working with children.
Unit three- Supporting children The Children Act 1989 came into effect in 1991 in England and Wales, it attempted to bring together various pieces of legislation. It is wide ranging and covers child protection, parental responsibility and the inspection of settings. It is especially known for its stance that children's welfare is of paramount importance. It also made clear that children and young people's views had to be taken into consideration when decisions about their future were being made. There has been a subsequent Children Act which provided for a Children's Commissioner and also allowed the government to provide a legal framework for the Every Child Matters programme. The Children Act 2004 is designed to ensure that difference services for children and young people work more effectively together. The Children Act 1989 has influenced setting by bringing together several sets of guidance and provided the foundation for many of the standards practitioners sustain and maintain when working with children. The Act requires that settings work together in the best interests of the child and that they form partnerships with parents /carers. It requires settings to have appropriate adult: child ratios and policies and procedures on child protection. This Act has had an influence in all areas of practice from planning a curriculum and record keeping. The Every Child
Explain two theories of ageing
Explain two theories of ageing The first theory of ageing is disengagement; this is the withdrawal of involvement. According to Henry (1961) and Cumming (1961) this is natural for an older person to experience; this is mostly because elderly people have restricted opportunities to interact with people. There are many reasons for this; * Ill health- when someone is ill they may not be able to go outside also poor mobility, restricted vision and a hearing impairment will also make it difficult, and if friends are ill they will lose contact with you too. * Geographical mobility - once retired people may move to different parts of the world away from their friends and family or people may move away from family in order to find better work and housing. * Retirement - when people retire they might lose contact with colleagues. * Technology - elderly people might not have internet, mobile phones and cars so it's harder to travel/speak to their friends and family. Cumming (1975) argued that it is healthy for older people to withdraw from others and become less concerned with the expectations of others and increasingly "individual". Surprisingly this theory was widely accepted in the past. Bromley (1974) argued that some people are expected to fight this process however it's bound to happen anyway because people don't have the physical or mental resources they did years ago.
The Effects of Culture, Positioning and Gestures on Communication in a Playgroup.
4B. Produce materials to show the influence of: * Culture * Positioning * Gestures Culture: When wanting to communicate effectively two individuals have to make sure that they have no sort of barriers between them which will stop them from communication. They will have to bear in mind that only getting rid of barriers will make the communication effective. Care workers in care settings make sure that they communicate effectively without any barriers to communication. "Effective communication with people of different cultures is especially challenging. Cultures provide people with ways of thinking--ways of seeing, hearing, and interpreting the world. Thus the same words can mean different things to people from different cultures, even when they talk the "same" language. When the languages are different, and translation has to be used to communicate, the potential for misunderstandings increases." (http://www.colorado.edu/conflict/peace/problem/cultrbar.htm) When an individual who is from a foreign country and doesn't not speak English very well then it will become harder for him to communicate effectively because he will not know what to say or what that other person might be saying to him. It is very important for an individual to learn other languages too so that they could communicate with other members of society such as in a early years settings when a Pakistani
