For this post, you will analyze the major themes of Health and Well-Being, Family and Parenting, Education, Culture and Gender as factors influencing the domain of physical development, specifically safety. Think about and comment on how child and adolescent safety regulations have changed over the past few decades. Provide examples of new safety guidelines that did not exist either when you were growing up, or when your parents were growing up. Then, look through the recommended resources for Week Three and/or other scholarly articles from the Ashford University Library website and find and report on three statistics specifically related to child and adolescent safety from this current decade (2010-present) within each of the three stages of infancy/toddlerhood, childhood, and adolescence. In other words, you will have 1 unique statistic for each of the three stages. Throughout your post, demonstrate a foundational knowledge of the children’s developmental continuum, from conception, by addressing unique safety standards. See the example below:

Prior to completing this discussion, please read Module 6 in the textbook and review any relevant Instructor Guidance. Specifically, you can review the interactive media tool illustrating obesity causes and prevention from an ecological perspective in Module 6.

In this discussion, you will utilize this template to create a brochure (or create your own) which addresses the issue of childhood obesity in order to share your continued learning in child development with others.

• Utilize problem-solving techniques in exploring developmental issues, grounded in child development, in order to address two practical ways in which we can incorporate change to improve the health of children and families.
  • It is important to be able to explain the role of society and community agencies in assisting families in developing the optimum learning and pro-social behavior of children.
  • Be cognizant of the issues faced by single-parents, working parents, parents who are overweight/obese themselves, and those with other physical restrictions.
• Provide two res

 

Critically reflect on things in your life that have served as effective change agents. What was it about them that made you change or improve? Are the elements of your action plan similar to the things that have driven your own personal change? Should they be? Finally, think about the development of your action plan. Did this course’s weekly assignments serve as a change agent? What would you change about the process to make it better?
