Intellectual development
Intellectual development Intellectual development is also known as mental development or cognitive development. This type of development is where the child expands the mind where he/she can recognise, reason, know and understand things. Day by day the child's mind develops. Each day the child learns about people, things, new skills, how to communicate, memories and gain more experiences. As the child's mind develops, he/she becomes more intelligent. How intelligent the child becomes will depend on two main factors. * Genes - these control the amount of natural intelligence he/she has. * Environment - the uses the child makes of his/ her intelligence will be very much influenced by the environment in which he/she grows up. Throughout childhood, the genes and environment continuously interact to produce people whose minds develop in a great variety of ways. E.g., some children are very artistic or musical talent, some are talented at languages or maths, high academic ability, cleverness with the hands and some have a good understanding of people and their problems. You should help develop your child's mind by: * Talk to the child. * Play with them. * Sit him/her up somewhere were they could see what is going on around them. * Let them play with toys and other objects to handle and investigate. * Allow him/her to practice new skills. * Read and tell them stories
Job Descriptions
TUI UNIVERSITY Jennifer Pope Module 2 Session Long Project 324: Human Resource Management Dr Robert Grice 28 April 2010 Job Descriptions Hiring and retaining a quality employee is difficult. That is why a good hire starts with an excellent job description. Job descriptions are crucial for hiring and retaining the best workers. Often employees are lead to believe a job is one thing only to be disappointed to find that the employment is not as satisfying and challenging. The result is an employee who is difficult to motivate. The Importance of Job Descriptions. Basically, job descriptions are written statements that describe the duties, responsibilities, contributions, and qualifications of a position, as well as the reporting relationship of a particular job. (Anonymous, 2009) So the job description tells you what you actually need to do to perform well in the job. While the parts of a job description vary between employers according to one source the standard parts are: . Purpose: What is the job in the simplest terms. 2. Job duties or responsibilities: What should the employee be able to perform as part of the position? 3. Education required: List minimum amount of formal education. 4. Payroll experience required: the minimum amount of experience required to perform the job duties 5. Specialized skills: skills needed that are outside of the normal to
learning styles
Different people learn in different ways, this is because we all have different learning styles. There are many factors that influence peoples learning styles and processes. Some of these include; attitude - if someone takes an 'I don't care' attitude to your work then they wont do as well. They need to have a positive attitude and a clear mind to enable them to do their work to the full potential. Motivation - if someone is motivated to do something and they really want to get there and how much they want to get there, they will do it, however, if they feel it will not help them in any way then they will be less motivated resulting in putting it off until the last minute. Health - if someone has health problems that keep coming back, i.e. tonsillitis, then they may find it hard to study. These people need to make sure that they are punctual whenever possible and are organised. Responsibilities - people prioritise what they do on how important it is. If someone had children or is a young carer then their responsibilities are to take care of the person, they may have a job or more important tasks to carry out before completing work. Relationships - if someone has a partner then they may put their work off to see them. People may have children and so may not have time to do assignments if there are problems at home. Learning environment - completing work is hard if you don't
The Debate
The Debate Host: Welcome to tonight's show. We have for you tonight two people who are arguing about the question of "Should a Man be a Mother and More Involved with the Children?" First we have Rick Sanders, hi Rick. Second we have Julie Highfield, hi Julie. Rick, what do you think about being a male mother and how has it affected your life? Rick: Hello, thank you for including me tonight's debate. I am personally really enjoying being a male mother. I love spending time with my daughter. I think that this affected me a great deal because before I hardly saw my wife or child because of work. Now because I have exceeded my work amount I have quit my job and have become a full time male mother. I think that being involved with your own children is a great start for their lives and it gives you a great feeling that you belong, but this cannot be said in any discussion and believed you have to try it. I also enjoy the freedom to go to great places with her and have an experience that not many other men get to see. You see I like being the only man at the welfare clinic, it makes me feel special. Julie: Mr. Sanders, what you have been feeling and enjoying is all to do with the way in which you treat and help your daughter within this crucial time in her and your lives. These things are enjoyful at the start and then eventually it runs out in some cases. I've seen it

Tear Fund Project
Tear Fund do the work they do because they want to help people that are in need just like Jesus have been doing all those centuries ago. They help people in the poorer countries by "providing medicines, medical care or caring for patients themselves". Tear Fund doesn't just use words to show that they care and think about peoples' sufferings but they also back it up by their actions. For Christians it is essential to act as well as preach about the good things, and help people in practical ways that gives an example of what other people should do and follow. There are many hungry people out there that have been left like that due to famines and other problems. Tear Fund helps them to get fed by bringing food to the parts of country that need it. Even if there isn't enough food to give big portions it is still something to at least keep them alive. Some Tear Fund workers stay there and look after people that have become too weak and help them until they get better. In this way they are fulfilling their dream of following in the example of Jesus and becoming more like him. Tear Fund is not just people being religious towards God but also caring for people in need and helping them. Jesus said that loving God and loving people can't be separated, and that loving means action. It isn't enough just to feel; you have to act on that good feeling. Jesus also said that you should give
Anti-Discrimination Legislation
Legislation: In hospitals and your local GP people come in each day with health problems asking how the doctors or nurses can help them. With this, the government needs to find a way to protect the workers and patients from any discrimination being made towards them. This is why the government ha made something called legislation where as no one is allowed to discriminate anyone based on the genre, sex, race or disability. There are different types of legislations made based on the different types of discrimination they are. The two legislations that mare made are: * The sex discrimination Act 1975: This legislation means that no one, no care worker doctor or nurse is allowed to discriminate anyone based on their gender even if they are female or male no one is to discriminate anyone inside or outside the health and social café industry. * The race relations NI order 1997/Act 2005: This Is another legislation which means that no person is allowed to discriminate a person based on their skin colour. This is a very common discrimination as people are judging others based on their skin colour and this is why there is a legislation being made against this. This does often happen in the health and social care industry so here are a few examples to explain the legislations in a bit more detail. * For example: The sex discrimination Act 1975: A nurse is giving medication to a
Analyse and explain the work of one Christian agency working for world development
Analyse and explain the work of one Christian agency working for world development World Vision is one of the world's leading aid and development charities. It was founded in 1947 by the American missionary Bob Pierce after he took a life changing trip to China and Korea in 1947. In its core values it states that it is a Christian organization that acknowledges one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The organization maintains its Christian identity but is sensitive to the diverse contexts in which it works. It is committed to the poor and to working with the poor towards fullness of life. In 2003 its total income was £42,223 of which £ 23,941 was from voluntary sources and £ 7,518 came from government grants. World Vision runs both long term programmes (area development programmes) and emergency programmes. Area development programmes (ADPs) cover large areas which involve several villages and communities. These projects last up to 15 years. The funding for ADPs mainly comes from child sponsorship which enables World Vision to help the whole community. World Vision's main aim is to help communities to develop their skills and confidence so they are able to manage their own development long after World Vision has finished it work in that particular area. An example of one of World Vision's ADPs is World Vision's new sponsorship program in Sacaca in the county of Ibañez,
Equality diversity and rights in health and social care
________________ M2,D1 Unit 2 Equality diversity and rights in health and social care M2 Assess the influence of a recent national policy initiative promoting anti discriminatory practice D1 Evaluate the success of a recent initiative in promoting anti-discriminatory practice In this criterion there will be an assessment on a recent national policy initiative and the way it promotes anti- discriminatory practice in health and social care. Individual’s rights within a health and social care setting include having access to services and medication. Services should not unlawfully discriminate service users due to their race, gender, disability, religion, belief, or sexuality. Another right of an individual within health and social care is being treated with respect and dignity. No matter what the persons circumstances are when using health or social care services they should always be treated fairly and with respect defiantly if they are in a vulnerable state. Communication is also another right of an individual. Every health and social care setting should have trained professionals who know how to convey effective communication to avoid assumptions and discrimination. As the patients or service users should feel comfortable talking to the staff and know
Emotional development
Emotional development Emotional development is the development of the Childs ability to control their feelings. Emotions are very hard for a child to express; they usually use facial expressions to show how they feel. There are good emotions and negative emotions for example; contentment, humour, eagerness, love and delight are positive emotions, whereas anger, jealousy, fear, hate, sadness and depression are negative emotions. These emotions can be shown in different ways. If we are happy, then we laugh or smile, if we are frightened, we may cry or scream. Our emotions are influenced by our inborn temperament, which depends on the genes a child inherits. For example some children are naturally excitable. It also depends on their environment, which is the surroundings their in and the conditions they grow up in. finally it is influenced by the child's state of health. So when a baby is ill they will have different feelings to when they are feeling well. There is another factor that in most cases affects some of the child's emotions and this is whether the child is a boy or a girl because boys are taught to hide their emotions whereas girls are taught to show how they feel and to express their emotions. For proper emotional development a child needs the love and affection of their parents, family, other adults it depends on and perhaps friends. The feeling
