Identification of the Developmental Stage of the Client
The 12-year-old Black/ African American young male is currently going through the hyperactive-impulsive stage of ADHD. In this stage, the client cannot stay still, causing severe problems in being attentive in class (Watson, 2020). He is constantly seen fidgeting and restless. One of the major signs of his unease is his increase in anger, which is interpreted to be an impulsive reaction to certain surrounding stimuli. The aggressive behavior is causing social interactions to suffer at school and home with his grandmother. The impulsivity and inattentiveness could be attributed to distorted family relations or rejection from his close caregiver, his mother, since she is not with him to take care of him (Stanborough, 2021).
Parents are the primary caregivers of a child since childhood; this is the developmental life stage of a child when he feels comforted, secure, and protected. However, in the clients case, this is not the situation, and the rejection has transformed him into a restless and aggressive individual during his school-going life stage (Cherkasova et al., 2013). This signifies the second stage of ADHD as his constant talkative behavior and interruptions during class cause irritation for other students and the teacher (Watson, 2020). When he is ignored or not answered well by the teacher, he instantly becomes aggressive.
One task required in his stage is preventing to talk unduly in the class and causing stoppages during the lesson. The teacher wants him to stay quiet sometimes so that she can finish her lesson. Although she is quite supportive and often accommodates him well, there are certain instances when other students want to speak, and the 12-year-old wants his attention. Since his self-control is weak at the current stage of ADHD, his impulsive intent to talk is difficult to curb sometimes. The teacher has set physical cues that might help him stop when he is talking excessively, such as putting a hand on his shoulder; however, recently, this is not working.

Important, strong, or positive

He would be motivated to work on his behavior change so that less talking could win him friends and become likable to his surrounding community. He would be more willing to work on his control over aggression so that his weak relations become the most desirable ones.
Physical Community of the Clients Residential Area
The physical community where the client resides is a healthy neighborhood. It has a park where his grandmother takes him to play every evening. His grandmother knows that he is having trouble making or keeping friends at school and that socialization is necessary for his condition; she wants him to mingle at the park. The pollution/toxins in the air are low, and the air quality is deemed feasible for his condition. Still, the interaction with neighborhood friends remains a problem as only one boy sometimes comes to play with him. Again, due to his excessive talking and aggression, the other boy is scared and rarely comes close to him.

Human Development In order to learn about the development of males in their late teenage stage, between the ages seventeen and twenty, an eighteen-year-old male was interviewed. An individual of this age was chosen since it is believed as the age that acts as a transitory period between teenage and adulthood thus the developmental features are explicitly displayed at this age within the period targeted. The individual interviewed was a student
Human Development: Human beings develop from childhood into adulthood not only through the natural aging process, but equally important by an education process that extends right through their lifetime. Memorization forms an integral part of education as memory functioning determines our ability to receive, process, store and recall information for relevant use. The information processing approach includes the input processes concerned with stimuli analysis, the storage processes which entail all internal
Human Development: Hypothetical Case Study of Angela Wu Angela Wu, age sixteen, was referred to the guidance department of the high school after several of her teachers noted that she had seemed unusually "stressed out, even for Angela," after mid-term exam week. Later, it was noted that her academic performance on her midterms was notably weaker than it had been over the past several semesters at the high school. After mid-term
Human Development Erikson's "Eight Stages of Man" Erik Erikson was a student of Sigmund Freud's who developed a theory of personality development. According to Erikson, there are eight psychosocial stages in which the individual faces a crisis or developmental task (Broderick & Blewitt, 2010). If the individual successfully completes the developmental task, there is a positive outcome; if not, there is a negative outcome. The first stage, which is called trust vs.
This is expected in American culture, indeed, the fact that we speak of generations, as in Generation Y or Generation X, the Greatest Generation, indicates how it is normalized for children to ally with their peers in their social habits and attitudes. Perhaps the most profound difference between this generation and the past generation is the influence of new media upon children's development. The impact of high levels of violence
None of these countries are at the top or bottom of the scale of human development in the world today, though. Topping the list is Norway, which has a life expectancy of 81.1 years, 17.3 years of expected schooling for each individual, and an annual per-capita income of $47,557 (UNDP, 2012). The United States is ranked fourth in human development, with a per-capita income of $43,017 and a life expectancy
