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
Health education - Teenage Obesity, Determinates of health and Risk Factor
0 Health Education Teenage Obesity Obesity is a growing problem in Australia, and also globally and is a major issue that can lead to a great deal of health problems. The definition of Obesity is extremely overweight and unhealthy. Many teenagers of this time are starting to lack exercise and becoming physically unfit and later becoming obese. This is happening not just in Australia but also right round the world. Obesity in teenagers is bad but it will follow the individual into their adult life. About 30.4 percent of teenagers are overweight, and 15.5% of teens are obese. This means that 45.9% of teens are at risk for developing health problems due to weight. It is important to note that weight gain during the teen years is normal. It is when that weight gain progresses beyond normal limits that teens become at risk for obesity. There are many causes of Teenage Obesity such as an increased amount of junk food, lack of physical activity and even some genetic factors. There are many types of health problems that Obesity can cause, such as; Type 2 Diabetes Asthma Sleep problems (including sleep apnea) Orthopaedic (bone) problems due to an inability of the developing bones to support the excess weight Hypertension (high Blood Pressure) Heart disease Obesity also plays a large role in the dimensions of health. Physically, obesity could make you feel slow,
In this assignment I will be discuss the legislation relating to people who have support needs. The three acts I will discuss is the Disability Discrimination Act, Mental Health act and the Mental Capacity Act.
Understanding Disability, Society and the Law In this assignment I will be discuss the legislation relating to people who have support needs. The three acts I will discuss is the Disability Discrimination Act, Mental Health act and the Mental Capacity Act. The Disability Discrimination act (1995) was put in the place to prevent any discrimination that disabled people may be confronted with. The Act protects disabled people with rights for; employment, education, access to goods, facilities and services and buying or renting land or property. There are over 10 million disabled people in Britain, of whom 5 million are over state pension age. There are over 6.9 million disabled people of working age which represents 19% of the working population.The DDA says that disabled people must have the same chance of getting a job as somebody that has no disabilities. The employer has to make reasonable adjustments that will improve the working environments in which disabled staff work in order to overcome disadvantages arising from the way the workplace is set out. There are currently 1.3 million disabled people in the UK who are available for and want to work. It also says that public transport and services should be made more accessible to people with disabilities. They have the rights to the correct information about transport and what's available such as timetables. Certain
Identify the factors that contribute to a diverse society
Betelhem Deressa UNIT 2 TASK ONE (P1) Diversity and Equality Identify the factors that contribute to a diverse society Culture Culture is the way of life in a particular society or group of people including their belief, behaviour, dress, and language. Culture also when you born or growth up the place you learn the way of living. Culture sometimes a person learns from his family or surrounding when he growth up. A child born in UK and growth in Africa he should learn African culture, such as the food he eat, the music he listen and the dress what he wear. Every society has a different culture where people share a specific language, traditions, behaviour and belief. Everyone have to respect others culture. For example Indian people have their own culture the way they dressed and the food they cook also music and dance. Ethnicity Ethnicity is the group of people identity with or feels they belong to. Ethnic is the measure of culture, language, dress, nationality or citizenship. Ethnic group in the United Kingdom include English, Indian, Pakistan, Irish, Scottish and African. Ethnic should be understands from the biological aspect and cultural aspect. Different ethnics may different dress differently, speak differently and eat different food. For example white people look at black people the way not treat them fairly that could happen discrimination. Race Race is
Factors That Affect Individual Needs
Factors That Effect Individual Needs Socio-economic Factors Income This gives people the money that they need to support them self and their families. When I say support I mean providing the essentials for their families which are needs and not what they want. These include clothes, food/drink, housing and bills. The more income that someone gets the more essentials they are able to afford. A good income can help people to keep a stable life style. They will be able to afford healthier foods such as fresh fruit and vegetables instead of processed foods. They are able to participate in leisure activities such as swimming in their own pool, exercising in their own gym or relaxing on a golf course. Another benefit would be that they can afford medical attention that others less fortunate have to wait for many years for e.g. hip replacements. They are also able to access to dentist were they are able to get cosmetic dentistry which can help teeth maintain in good condition for a longer period of time e.g. having a root canal at an average price of £200 is to expensive for many working/middle class people and they may just have their teeth removed instead. Education By law everyone is required to attend education up until the age off 18 and it is up to them if they decide to take their education to a higher level. In England education is provided free so every
Introduction to Child Study.
Introduction to Child Study The child I will be studying is Mica. She was born on the 26th December 1999. She is now 3 years and 7 months old. Mica is of mixed race with lovely brown curly hair and beautiful brown eyes. She is a very lively and outgoing child. Mica can also be very shy with strangers dependent on their approach to her. Mica is rather tall for her at 108 1/2 cm or 42 1/2 inches tall and wears clothes aged 4-5. She gets the height from her father's side of the family. She also has a size 9 feet, which is large for her age. Mica is very happy, chatty child who can mix with most children, and attends the local nursery five days a week all day whilst her parents work. She has a wide imagination and often pretends to be a teacher using the skills her teachers use at nursery which she as noticed. Mica loves to play along in games with others and amuses herself when alone. She loves to play with her dolls and teddy bears but also likes watching television. Mica's favourite programme is Tweenies, she also likes to watch films, and her favourite is Monsters Inc. She often relays what is happening in the film like when the monster is talking she will say the words before him or when the little girl is about to scream she will prior to it happening.

child study visit
Date of Visit: 16th October 2006 Length of Visit: 2 hours and 40 minutes Place: Park People Present: Sam, Me Aim of Visit-Plan Today I am going to take Sam to the park, which is only about a 10 minute walk from her house. By doing this I should hopefully very easily be able to observe her gross motor skills as there will be a lot of apparatus there for her to play on that will enable her to use the large muscles in her body e.g-climbing frame etc. Whilst at the park I have also planned to play 'Simon says' with her by playing this game I will be able to observe some of her intellectual skills by seeing how she responds to instructions. Observations When Sam found out that we were going to the park she got really excited. As soon as we got there she immediately ran over to the swings and she needed me to start her off on the swing by pushing her once and then she used her legs to make her keep moving. After about two or three minutes she wanted to get off the swing and she asked me to get her off because the swing was a little bit high as her feet didn't touch the floor when she sat on it. She then wanted to go on the slide and ran straight over to it. When she was climbing up the ladder to the slide, another little girl came over to the slide and started climbing up the ladder iswell behind Sam (She looked younger than Sam and I don't think she was above 2 years old).

The age group I have selected to describe the physical and intellectual and learning development is 3 to 7 years.
Unit Two: Development from conception to age 16 years E1 The age group I have selected to describe the physical and intellectual and learning development is 3 to 7 years. It is important that intellectual development is about the way you learn to think about and reason but also about how you store and process the information at the age of 3 to 7 it is important you know the normative development which is typical of the age group to achieve however it is often you have milestones which is the expected development for the age group but you shall discover these through observations. The types of things expected from this age group for physical development will be different types movements and for intellectual development it will they way the child thinks and learns this development can also be linked with communication as its apart of cognitive. Physical Development The physical development stages expected for 3 to 7 years At 3 to 4 years they can steer and pedal a tricycle. At 4 to 5 years they can skip with a rope, can throw and catch a large ball. By 7 years they can balance on a beam and hop on one foot these are the gross motor skills which are skills involving movements of children between 3-7 years old, which can take quite a lot of co-ordination. Fine motor skills can be things such as turning a page in book one by one, cuts out simple shapes, colours pictures in and
Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different family types
Nuclear family-A couple and their dependent children, regarded as a basic social unit. Advantages of a nuclear family are: . A Stable Environment: Children raised in a family with the same parents during their growing years have a higher likelihood of having stability in their relationship and emotional bonding. 2. Behavioural Stability: With both the father and the mother, children get a better sense of what is acceptable and unacceptable. 3. A Sense of Consistency: When children grow up in a nuclear family, they get a sense consistency, especially when it also includes closeness with other members of the family such as grandparents. 4. Learning Skills: In a nuclear family, children usually get far more extensive training in life skills. For instance, mothers usually teach their children relationship skills, like emotional response skills and how to have smooth relations with others, while fathers, in general, teach their children handiwork skills and sports skills, like fixing things around the house or hitting a baseball, as well as how to deal with the world outside. 5. Sharing Responsibility: With two parents sharing the responsibility of raising the children, it enables one parent to take time to pursue other interests or get a rest while the other parent plays or works with the children. 6. Physical and Emotional Support: Nuclear families usually have more
