Braden is a seven-year-old male referred to this agency for ongoing disruptive and aggressive behaviors in school and at the community shelter. He came to the shelter with his mother and two younger siblings when they were no longer welcome to stay at his grandmother’s home due to her concerns for personal safety. The estranged father of the children had made several unwelcomed visits and Braden’s mother had started spending too much time away from the children. Her mother, facing her own health concerns, could not keep up with parental demands.

Braden lived with both parents in a small trailer until the age of one. Neither parent had ties to the church, though both claim to be Christian. His father worked in concrete and his mother stayed home to care for him. His father, who had prior arrests for methamphetamine, physically abused his mother on more than one occasion and was eventually sent to jail. When they could no longer afford to live in the trailer, Braden and his mom went to live with Grandma.

Once his father was released from jail and had worked long enough to get another trailer, Braden and his mom moved back in with him when Braden was two years old. The physical abuse continued, but once his mom found out she was pregnant (with twins), she arranged to stay in a protective women’s shelter until her twins were born.

His mother and father have not cohabitated since that time (Braden was 3 years old), though they still have frequent and unpleasant interactions regarding parenting styles and informal custody arrangements. Until recently the children stayed mostly at Grandmother’s house, and occasionally with their father. At either location, the children had very few rules and were often in the company of adults that are drinking or doing drugs. This is true even when they were with their grandma.

The father is still working and attending court-ordered classes for anger management. The mother has started working at the shelter where her toddler twins can be cared for and is also working on a G.E.D. to improve her employability. She’s also attending AA meetings while struggling to comply with the shelter’s strict drinking policies.

Braden has been involved in several incidents at the shelter that involved striking other children, usually over the possession of toys. A recent incident resulted in another child requiring stitches when he refused to give Braden a firetruck that he was playing with. Braden snatched the rather heavy toy and hit the other child over the head with it.

Braden is in the first grade at the nearby elementary school. He’s quite a bit larger than most of his classmates and his teacher has expressed concern that he intimidates or bullies some of them. In the classroom, his teacher reports that he has trouble following directions and doesn’t complete his assignments. There have been no overt incidents of violence, but Braden’s teacher suggests that’s because of consistent monitoring, and fears what might happen if she becomes distracted.

Braden presents as somewhat shy around other children but animates to the point of showing off when he has the attention of adults. He’s not especially concerned with or protective of his younger siblings and seems dismissive of his mother. His favorite person is his uncle, his mom’s brother, who shows him how to work on cars. This uncle also struggles with alcoholism and has legal issues stemming from domestic violence toward a girlfriend.

I have to reply to the discussion above based on the guidelines below. I am struggling quite a bit.

Use 1 theory from Chapter 1 (Freud, Erikson, Piaget, learning theory, bioecological theory, or nature vs. nurture). Demonstrate how the theory can help explain the presenting issue in the case.

From Chapters 2 and 3, identify 1 element of brain development, stress response, or cognitive development that is relevant to the case and explain why.

From Chapter 4, discuss the influence of parenting style or attachment in your classmates’ case.

Conclude by suggesting 1 environmental modification that would be useful as an intervention to this case.

Please discuss the main point of this paragraph…

Rachel is initially excited when asked about the baby, Paige is more nervous. Paige is reserved and religious. Saving herself until marriage. Rachel is bisexual and no where does she resemble Paige at all in her views. Paige ends up hating motherhood. Saying its stressful and so much pain causing. She feels exhausted, and mad at the baby. Rachel ends up having an easier time with motherhood. I think this relates to expectations of motherhood. If you have higher expectations, you may be more disappointed with the actual outcome. As we see this with Paige. Rachel has almost no expectations of motherhood, so she does not have anything to compare it to as she parents the baby.

In recent months, a debate has raged regarding the reopening of schools for the fall term. Do you think that K-12 students should return to school in the fall for face-to-face instruction? Why or why not?

An investigator was interested in the effect of a prenatal care on the weight of newborns. She realized it would be unethical to take a group of pregnant women and assign half of them to a condition in which they would receive no prenatal care. If she chose instead to collect data on the level of prenatal care and the newborn weight of all the children born in the hospitals of a large city for one month, what scientific method would she be using?

a case study

a correlation

a survey

an experiment

Describe examples from the film that illustrate how racism imposes an additional health burden on people of color. Give examples of both “everyday” racism (being treated unfairly) and “structural” racism (access to resources, power, status and wealth) and describe how these might affect health in different ways.

What did the Macaque monkey research teach primatologist Carol Shively about the connections between power, subordination and health? What parallels can we draw to human society? What did we learn from the cortisol study and the different parts of the “cold study” performed by psychologist Sheldon Cohen?

After watching the In Sickness and In Wealth episode, please provide your responses to 2 of the questions below following these guidelines.

Logan is a 7 year old boy who was taken to the hospital for possible overdose. After arriving and treatment it was determined that the boy took his mothers suboxone. She cannot account for her were abouts when he took the drug and does not know how much he took or how he got it. Since, he has been removed from the care of his mother and placed in the care of his grandmother (his dads mother). His father is incarcerated for drug possession and manufacturing drugs and has been for the majority of his life. His mother failed her drug screen for drugs not prescribed from DSS when they arrived to the hospital. His mother is unemployed and cannot seem to hold a job. Logan and his mother live with his mothers grandmother, logans great grandmother. She is 80 years old. His great grandmother is the one who takes on all duties of parenting due to his mothers drug addiction. He sleeps with his great grandmother at night and she takes him to and from school and extracurricular activities. She fails to discipline him because he is stronger than her and she feels guilty because of his parents. Due to the fact that his mother lives in the home he has been placed out of the home with the closest relative.

Logan is suffering academically and acting out emotionally. He is not controlling his emotions and cries every morning after drop off. Logan responds positively to the assistant principal, who is a Male. He is able to calm Logan down and helps him one on one. He is having anger outbursts during class and refuses to participate in certain activities. He does not seem to have much of an appetite at school or at home. He has been bullying other kids at school and is also getting bullied because of his situation at home. His grandmother has set rules that she expects him to follow. She has created a chore chart for him and if he completes the tasks listed he gets rewarded. Logan is not use to this type of structure. He is struggling to complete simple tasks like making his bed in the morning and picking his clothes up out of the floor. This is all new to him because his great grandmother did everything.

Logans grandmother is trying to make a bad situation bearable, but she is struggling. She has been active in working with his caseworker, assistant principal and school counselors to try to find solutions to his behavior. His great grandmother is trying to stay involved and help without involving his mother in the process. She is also allowing supervised visits by the caseworker with his mother in hopes of reunification one day. At this point, nothing is working. Logan still seems emotionally unstable and is acting out. His teachers have reported that on the days of his visits with his mother, his behavior gets more aggressive. He does well when its library day for his class and is making strides reading, but suffering in all other areas.

Explain why the state of the natural environment reflects culture and the organization of society.

This is a sociology question.

You have a client who is of a different culture and faith than your own. You are not comfortable dealing with them due to past negative feelings from childhood. What are your ethical and legal obligations? Why are these legal and ethical obligations in place?

Finally, contrast the Big 5 model with the id, ego, and superego found in the psychodynamic approach to personality in terms of how well these models apply to yourself (with the acknowledgement that anecdotal self-reports lack validity and are subject to bias and emotional reasoning)

a. Is the t-test the appropriate test for this study?

b. yes, state why, using examples to support your agreement or if no, state why not, using examples to support your disagreement

An independent sample t-test would be used if a professor at FIU wanted to compare his calculus classes scores from the past two semesters. Class 1 had 20 students and an average of 70 and SD of 15. Class 2 had 25 students and an average of 74 standard deviation of 25. You have to use alpha .05 to determine if class 1 and 2 had a difference between scores by using the degrees of freedom on a normal distribution table.
