¶ … CHILD" DEVELOPMENT
Health I knew that new theories or modern theories of child development were present in the 21st century, but I was unaware of how much new information and new perspectives were a part of child development theories today. Theories of the whole child, multiple intelligences, and things such as experiential learning really opened my eyes and diversified my thinking regarding the methods and approaches at the disposal of teachers/educators today. I additionally thought that there was less overlap among theories of development for special, normative, and gifted children. Modern and experienced teachers who are not as current in the theories and practices of child development often argue that children at different levels must be taught differently, strictly. That was a misconception that dissipated for me over the course. There are far more similarities among children of different levels than there are differences.
Reflections on "Whole Child" Development
Reflection on "Whole Child" Development
My current thinking regarding the importance of helping the "whole child" develop is that it is essential and that this theory should be applied in a way that it is more widespread. The "whole child" theory is one of the theories that made the most sense to me and it made sense almost immediately. Having had a chance to understand it further, I think that it should be a theory to which all teachers and educators should be exposed. I do not think that one domain is more important than the other, but I do think that there are some cultures that are suffering in one or more areas over others, in a general way. For example, in American culture in the 21st century, I would argue that there is significant deficiency in emotional intelligence -- likely caused in part by the increased and sometimes excessive use of social media for communication and the large consumption of Internet pornography -- both of which are inadequate substitutes for human interaction and personal contact.

What works for one patient may not work for the next. If everyone is treated according to the way that everyone else has always been treated then it may be that no one ever gets any better. Every child should be treated so that they have the opportunity to have the best life possible. I definitely think that it would be unethical to not treat a child who I believe
Health Advocacy Campaign - Childhood Obesity Childhood Obesity Most of the health issue that people face on a day-to-day basis do not become pandemics. But this is not the case with obesity. Over a billion people are affected by obesity worldwide (Miller, et al., 2004). The statistics are particularly discouraging for children who are obese. Children who have a body mass index (BMI) that is greater than the figures in the 85th
According to the U.S.A. Today (Borenstein, 2007), the latest IPCC report states that within twenty years "hundreds of millions of people won't have enough water." And while safe drinking water may not be available to those millions of people, tens of millions of others will be "flooded out of their homes each year" as rising temperatures cause polar ice caps to melt. "Tropical diseases like malaria will spread" and in

However, despite the development of these exemplary healthcare capacities, the UAE's system continued to suffer during this timeframe from a perception among the population that it lacked quality (Kronfel, 1999). It cannot be discounted that the public may perceive the UAE's healthcare system as lacking in quality because the system does in fact have many developmental issues left to resolve. For example, a study by Margolis (2002) found that as
