¶ … Childhood (5-11years)
Cognitive development
Cognitive development is the development of the ability to reason and think. Children who are aged between 5 and 11 years develop the ability to think in concrete ways such as addition, subtraction, order (sorting and alphabets), transforming and so on. These processes are termed as being concrete since they are performed in presence of events and objects being thought about. Cognitive abilities allow children to process the sensory information which they collect.
Metacognition can take various forms such as having knowledge of when and how to use specific strategies for solving problems or learning. It refers to a thinking level which involves having active control over the thinking process used in learning situations. It is divided into three components, namely; metacognitive knowledge, metacognitive regulation and metacognitive experiences. This skill is integral to children's future cognitive development as it involves different types of metacognitive awareness which include declarative knowledge which is the knowledge of an individual as...
Secondly it involves procedural knowledge which is the knowledge of doing things and finally conditional knowledge that involves knowing when and why one should use declarative as well as procedural knowledge. Therefore we can say that metacognition allows students to plan, monitor and evaluate anything they do hence lead to success in school and in life (LearningRx Franchise Corp, 2014).
2. Sources of stress for children between the ages of 5 and 11
As children grow and change they become more vulnerable to stress and the situations which result in stress for these age gap also change. Events which lead to stress in young children might seem innocuous to older children and at the same time stressful situations in older children do not affect young children. Development changes that occur in children in relation to their environment are a major contributor to the changes in contexts that lead to stress. Young children are dependent on their care givers hence early forms of stress often relate to the absence or presence of a caregiver.…

Childhood Obesity One of the most significant health problems seen in the United States is obesity. Within this dynamic there are particular issues of special concern for the health care industry and society in general, most notably the exponential increase in obesity found among children. (Strauss, Pollack, 2001, pgs. 2845-2848) and (Troiano, Flegel, 1998, pgs. 497-504) "Childhood obesity has more than doubled over the past 20 years, and it represents the
The conductors of the study relied upon past information indicating that children born with low birth weights have an increased likelihood of suffering from health problems later in life -- many of these health problems are results of obesity. Generally -- the study found -- children born small but who catch up to average children by age two, tend to have higher central fat distributions later in life. The

" (1999) Moran states that it has been demonstrated in many studies that a "familial aggregation f risk factors for obesity exist and the family "provides the child's major social learning environment." (1999) Surgical and Pharmacological Treatment There is very little conclusive research in the area of surgical and pharmacological treatment of child and adolescent obesity. These types of treatments are generally considered by HCPs to be "last resorts" (NIHCM, 2004) the
2006). The article introduces an innovative research strategy; doctors are observing - in magnified format - key movement patterns in infants who may be showing early signs of as. To open the door to a "more accurate way of distinguishing autism from as," Teitelbaum explains, researchers are employing the "Eshkol-Wachman" movement notation (EWMN), which was originally developed for dance and choreography. The EWMN, in short, allows the most delicate
" (Dietz, 1998). Obese children are often taller than their non-overweight peers, and are apt to be viewed as more mature. This is an inappropriate expectation that may result in adverse effects on their socialization. (Dietz, 1998). Overweight children and adolescents report negative assumptions made about them by others, including being inactive or lazy, being strong or tougher than others, not having feelings and being unclean. (American Obesity Association, 2000). This
