Childhood obesity - -common factors: genetic factors, lack of physical
activity, unhealthy eating patterns, combination of these factors, (rarely)
medical conditions
increased dramatically in the last 4 decades=decline in lifespan in U.S.
- Nutrition - -adequate _____________ is related to social and emotional
functioning such as: peer involvement, positive emotions, less anxiety,
eagerness to explore, persistence in frustrating situations, higher energy
levels
children who don't eat breakfast perform poorly in problem-solving tasks
- Gross motor activity - -skipping, balancing, jumping jacks, can grip objects
with 12 pounds of pressure, throwing a small ball, jumping, running,
catching, standing broad jump, high jump, etc.
- Fine motor activity - -•6 & 7 y/o- tie shoes and fasten buttons
•8- use each hand independently
•11 & 12- manipulate objects with almost as much capability as they will
show in adulthood
- Advances in fine motor skills - -increase in amount of myelin in the brain
significantly increases between the ages of 6 and 8
myelin- insulates nerve fibers, contains only 18% protein and 76% lipid
- Visual impairment - -difficulty seeing that may include blindness and
partial sightedness
- Auditory impairment - -a special need that involves the loss of hearing or
some aspect of hearing
- Speech impairment - -speech that deviates so much from the speech of
others that it calls attention to itself, interferes with communication, or
produces maladjustment in the speaker
- Stuttering - -substantial disruption in the rhythm and fluency of speech;
the most common speech impairment; childhood-onset fluency disorder
, - Learning disabilities - -difficulties in the acquisition and use of listening,
speaking, reading, writing, reasoning, or mathematical abilities
- ADHD - -a learning disorder marked by inattention, impulsiveness, a low
tolerance for frustration, and generally a great deal of inappropriate activity
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
- Acceleration - -special programs that allow gifted students to move ahead
at their own pace, even if this means skipping to higher grade levels
- Piaget stages - -sensorimotor: birth-18/24 months, object permanence
preoperational: 2-7 years, symbolic thought
concrete operational: 7-11 years, operational thought
formal operational: adolescence-adulthood, abstract concepts
- Reversibility - -the notion that processes transforming a stimulus can be
reversed, returning it to its original form
- Decentering - -the ability to take multiple aspects of a situation into
account
- Information processing approach - -children handle information with
increasing sophistication
- Memory - -the process by which information is initially recorded, stored,
and retrieved
- Vygotsky's approach - -cognitive advances occur through exposure to
information within a child's zone of proximal development
encourage development of classroom practices that promote children's
active participation in their learning
- Language development - -happens through exposure to vocab-rich
environments always teaching "language of instruction", listening to teacher
"model" good speech and interesting sentences, specific teaching of the
meaning of prefixes, roots and suffixes
- Intonation - -passive voice and conditional sentences increase
- Phonemes - -units of sound
- Pragmatics - -rules governing the use of language to communicate in
social settings
