Understanding Childhood Birth Defects
To date, every expecting Mom could only hope for a healthy baby. The good part about it; however, is that there are a wide range of prevention techniques that can be done to help prevent childhood birth defects. In order for you to do that, first, you need to understand what childhood birth defects are, what the types of birth defects are and how they happen.
Childhood birth defects are functional and structurel abnormalities present at the time of birth. This can cause mental or physical disability. In some cases, it can result to the combination of two. Some birth defects can even be fatal causing the patient to die at a young age, maybe during his teens.
Studies have found out about a thousand types of birth defects. Today, child birth defects remain the number one cause of infant mortality and among one-year-old's. Birth abnormalites have been attributed to a wide range of causes. First, when a gene does not seem to work properly or when it is missing, genetic problems may arise. Second, problems with chromosomes such as having an more than what or lesser than what is actually needed can also cause abnormalities. All environmental factors to which every pregnant woman is exposed to can play a vital role in the development of the fetus as well. These includes drug and alcohol intake, smoking, German measles and many others.
At present, two main types of child birth defects have been identified: structural abnormalities and the functional defects. Structural birth defects concern abnormalities with the body and its parts. The most common of which include heart defects, club foot, abnormal limbs, cleft lip or cleft palate. This can also be in the form of neural tube defects like spina bifida and orther problems which relate to the development of the spinal cord and the brain.
On the other hand, functional birth defects are abnormalities on how the body works. Oftentimes, these are referred to as developmental disabilities. Problems with the nervous system and the brain is among the common developmental abnormalities which can result to difficulty in speaking, trouble in moving, convulsion, mental retardation, behavioral disorders and learning disabilities. Other birth defects which can hit the nervous system are Down Syndrome, Autism, Prader-Willi syndrome and Fragile X Syndrome. Another type of functional disability are the sensory problems. This can include cataracts, hearing difficulties and blindness along with other visual difficulties. Functional disability, on the other hand, are metabolic disorders. Such disability involves a chemical reaction like conditionas that can cause malfunction to the body when getting rid of harmful chemicals and waste materials. The most common metabolic disorders include hypothyroidism and phenylketonuria. The third type of functional abnormality are degenerative disorders. These are conditions which become very obvious during birth. More often than not, they cause one's health to get worse steadily.
In other cases, birth abnormalities come as a combination of either of the factors. Abnormalities recognized at the time of work oftentimes lead to structural and functional problems in the long run. Most of these abnormalities have treatments which vary in intensity depending on the type of disorder. - Which is why, if your baby was born with a child birth defect, it is very important that you see a physician as soon as you can to prevent the condition from worsening.

Childhood $71.7 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Childhood is the age span ranging from birth to adolescence. In developmental psychology, childhood is divided up into the developmental stages of toddlerhood (learning to walk), early childhood (play age), middle childhood (school age), and adolescence (postpuberty). The term childhood is nonspecific and can imply a varying range of years in human development. Developmentally, it refers to the period between infancy and adulthood. In common terms, childhood is considered to start from birth. Some consider that childhood, as a concept of play and innocence, ends at adolescence. In many countries, there is an age of majority when childhood officially ends and a person legally becomes an adult. The age ranges anywhere from 13 to 21, with 18 being the most common.

Reclaiming Childhood $9.99 An expert in child development champions the importance of an unhurried childhood As our children are pushed harder than ever to perform so that they will one day "make the grade" in the adult world, parents are beginning to question the wisdom of scheduling childhood's basic pleasures. Across the country there have been parent rebellions against the overburdening with homework of young children by school officials bent on improving standardized test scores. And the "birth to three" movement has sparked a national debate on child development and educational policy. In Reclaiming Childhood , William C. Crain argues that rather than trying to control a young child, the best a parent can offer is "a patient and unobtrusive presence that gives the child the security and the freedom to explore the world on her own." He examines how children find their way to natural development through experiences with nature, art, and language, and makes a strong case for child-centered education-a movement that may be under fire, but that is very much alive. |

Early Childhood Education $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Early childhood education regards education in early childhood, one of the most vulnerable stages in life. According to the NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children), it spans the human life from birth to age eight. Early childhood education often focuses on children learning through play. The terms preschool education and kindergarten emphasise education around the ages of 36 years. The terms early childhood learning, early care, and early education are comparable with early childhood education. The terms Day care and Childcare do not embrace the educational aspects. Many childcare centers are now using more educational approaches. They are creating curricula and incorporating it into their daily rountines to foster greater educational learning. Researchers in the field and early childhood educators both view the parents as an integral part of the early childhood education process. Early childhood education takes many forms depending on the beliefs of the educator or parent. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

Early Childhood Education (Paperback) $95.72 "Harry Morgan reminds us, in his personable and accessible way, of our shared historical and theoretical roots. His text highlights the contributions of women, social revolutionaries, immigrants, and other historically marginalized groups. Morgan`s research and interpretations of history show the necessity of advocacy on behalf of early childhood education. Indeed, advocacy on behalf of the rights of women and children is at the heart of Early Childhood Education. This perspective is very timely and should bolster current political efforts on behalf of young children, their families, and the institutions in which they are educated."---Clover Simms Wright, California University of Pennsylvania"Morgan`s book is a great read for those looking for a concise, thought-provoking book on the history and theoretical background of early childhood education. Morgan doesn`t leave the reader in the past, but rather, brings the reader to current policies and issues while also considering trends for the future."---Linda K.
