To begin with, Zariya and I looked through lots of recipe books for ideas for our baking. She helped me choose what to bake by looking at the colourful pictures and pointed out the double chocolate chip cookies saying that she liked to eat biscuits. Zariya found looking through the books
Positive and Negative Influences on Individuals at Different Life Stages.
Booklet 2; Positive and Negative Influences on Individuals at Different Life Stages. I am writing a booklet to raise the awareness of the positive and negative influence of socialisation. Socialisation is learning the values and behaviours of a normal group it consist of two key factors, primary socialisation and secondary socialisation these are as follows primary socialisation happens in a child's first few years and takes place in the home and family. It teaches the child family and cultural values, beliefs and behaviours. For example to value members of the family, believe in family religion; be polite, well mannered and according to role-models. Secondary socialisation is when the child is about five- six and has just started school where they can make new friends and they have many different influences. Socialisation: The positives effects of primary socialisation are, when you grow up around your mother and father you learn how to talk, maybe different languages, to walk, ways of interacting, you may learn manners and more about your surroundings. The negative effects of primary socialisation are, when a child is growing up, they tend to pick up on things their parents do easily and like to copy for example when a child/toddler sees their parent ironing they may get out a mini

BTEC First Health and Social Care Level 2 Unit 11: Impact on Diet on Health Unit 11: Impact of ________________ Diet on Health ________________ TASK 2 –Medical Conditions Related to Unbalanced Diets ________________ ________________ Medical Conditions ________________ Rickets ________________ They are many medical conditions that are based upon unbalanced diets. One example of a medical condition, which is caused by a lack of vitamin D in the body, is a condition which affects bone development, in children. It also is caused in adults, but it is called osteomalacia or which is caused soft bones. Rickets are normally from people who emigrate from warm countries; these people have a lack of vitamin D. in order for a person to overcome rickets, it is advised for them to, include calcium into their diet. This is because there are consuming a little calcium into our diet. This is why we have to change our diet and include a calcium supplement, such as calcium carbonate. If not we should eat calcium rich foods. If so it can improve our bones and strengthen them. Symptoms causes the bones to be very painful, soft and also weak. Other systems, such as a bone problem, are slower delay of skeletal growth. To prevent rickets generally we should spend little time in the sun. As rickets is usually found by children, we
Childhood Obesity-A Rising Issue GCSE Health and Social Care
besity is an ever more concerning issue affecting the particularly vulnerable children and pre-adults who still have to live off their parents as they have no choice. They eat what their parents give them; they refuse what their parents give them. And this giving and taking particularly is the leading cause of, thanks to the mothers and fathers, of childhood obesity. Childhood obesity affects children from a very early age and, obesity, can stay trapped within them for a very long time. It is not so much the child’s fault for their large, unnatural structure (although they can certainly contribute), it is more to the fact that their parents feeding their children well beyond their GDA’s, to the grave, because of various health factors, such as heart disease and type two diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is caused naturally when someone is being created in the mother’s womb; it is automatically built into the child’s DNA at fertilization. It is un-preventable. If it going to happen, there is virtually nothing you can do to prevent it. Even though, a person can appear to look fit, they still can have Type 2 diabetes. 3 in 8 people are considered to be malnourished, however 40% of those people are self- conscious on their personal appearance. However Type 1 diabetes, which was extremely uncommon a few decades ago, is now a popular ever growing thing. Type 2 diabetes reduces
Unit 3: Health, Safety and Security in Health and Social Care
Jessica Bascombe 20174011 Group D Unit 3: Health, Safety and Security in Health and Social Care P1: Physical Environment: Broken equipment/Outdoor Playground: Practitioners should check regularly that objects and equipment are safe or broken such as checking for wear and tear e.g.: rust and fraying toys. Equipment should be checked that they are clean and dry before children start to play on them such as climbing frames and slides this could be a hazard when used wet because the children could slip or fall off or on the climbing frame slides should have a impact absorbing mat underneath it so it if the children fall off they will not injure them self. Practitioners should check that the outdoor playground is free from hazardous waste such as fasces and litter and equipment is used appropriately this would avoid hazards such as children getting cuts, bruises, major and minor injures. Infections: Disposing/Handling Waste: Practitioners use designated bins for specific types of waste such as body fluids and domestic waste. Soiled nappies, gloves and dressings should be disposed in a sealed bag in a covered nappy disposal tub, which then gets disposed when full this helps stop the spread of infection outside of the nursery in large waste disposable bin which is collected everyday waste can be a source of infection so it is important that practitioners follow the
Explain barriers to effective communication within a health and social care environment
Unit 1 communication Task 2 P2 Explain barriers to effective communication within a health and social care environment Barriers to effective communication; The communication cycle – If any part of the communication cycle is not played out properly like the message not being sent properly or if the message is not received correctly then this will then become a barrier to effective communication and in a place like a care home this will not help when it comes to dealing with difficult, complex and sensitive issues. This can be overcome by making sure the communication cycle is used correctly stage by stage. Environment – Any issues with the environment around us when we communicate can be a barrier to effective communication. Like if it is too noisy in a classroom while teaching, the student will not be able to hear the message or will be easily distracted. It could even be that that the chairs are uncomfortable and it can affect one’s concentration. Or it could be that a patient with sight impairments cannot see in the reception area because it is dimly lit. This can be overcome by making sure

Stages of adolecence
Adolecence! (Ages 11-18) -Stages of adolecence- Adolecence can roughly be divided into three stages: Early adolecence (11-13), Middle adolecence (14-16) and late adolecence (17-18). In addition to physiological growth, 7 key intellectual, physiological and social developmental tasks are also squeezed into these years. The fundemental aim of this task is to form ones own identity and prepare them for adulthood. Physical development- Puberty is defined as the biological changes of adolecence. By mid adolecence probably sooner, a teenagers physiological growth should be complete; they should be the weight and hight they would be as an adult, they are also now physically capable of having babies. Intellectual development- Most children enter adolecence still perceive the world as black and white, everything is either right or wrong, good or bad. Teens rarely look beyond the present which explains their inability to look at the long term consequences of their actions. By late adolecence, many teenagers would have come to appreciate subtleties of ideas and situations and will be able to project to the future. Their capaility to sense what others feel and solve complex situations has improved considerably. But as they are still quite inexperianced in life, even older teenagers may use these newfound skills erratically and may act without thinking. Emotional development- If
