Do children deserve to be told the truth by their parents? Is it advisable to tell lies to children about situations that they do not completely understand? These questions have been contentious for a long time. Parents find it hard to weigh in how much truth they should reveal and how much information to conceal from their children. Some parents may hide crucial information such as divorce, disease, and other information as they see it as a means of protecting their children.

Failure to develop trust will result in fear and belief that the world is unpredictable and inconsistent. Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt (toddlerhood): Following infants’ understanding of a predictable environment, toddlers are starting to realize if they can depend on others. At this stage, toddlers are a step towards developing as an individual, in other

he or she should seek outside support as the infant needs the parent and/or caregiver’s love and attention now more than ever before. Part II: Supporting a Toddler (1 to 3 years old) Most toddlers have begun to speak and will understand some of what they hear about their parent’s divorce although they will not fully comprehend the weight of the situation and may be confused. Much like an infant, the toddler could potentially exhibit some of the same changes in behavior (DeBord, n.d).

1.   According to the article, minority clients can often be misdiagnosed because the clinician lacks an understanding of the client 's culture.  The article points out that many of our counseling practices are "Eurocentric" and therefore problematic for minority clients. What does this mean and how might it effect Neesha during her own counseling experience?

The children are attached, but only on a “superficial level” (Robin). Furthermore, studies have shown that foster children have a higher chance of severe insecurities and attachment disorder (Harden). These disorders cause complications in future relationships. The long-term negative effects of this is the foster children maintain their suspicious and untrustful manners which makes it difficult for new bonds in relationships to form (Robin). As a result of attachment issues foster children tend to feel uneasy in the home they are placed in.

He stated that parents need to create a supportive atmosphere so the child may develop self-control. If basic trust were not sufficiently developed, the child would have developed shame and doubt about his or her sense of self-control. This was also the stage in which rules were

She stated that based on the quality of parental care, a child would fall within three categories of attachment. A child whom received sufficient care, would develop secure attachment and, thus, be confident and steady individuals. Yet, a child receiving insufficient care, would either become insecurely anxious-ambivalent, thus, becoming clingy, distrustful and hypervigilant to the world; or alternatively would become insecurely avoidant, being rather dismissive to situations around them (Bretherton, 1992; Main, 2000). A fourth category of disorganised attachment was added, referring to children whom lacked attachment mechanisms completely (Main, 2000). Both these theorists wanted to display the importance of early life experiences in development and the following arguments will display how their theories proved

If the relationship between both parents become unhealthy, the child could also be confused on to how they should treat others around them and pick up on the actions of their own

Lifespan is an extension to development psychology from the moment we are conceived, until the day we die, we are continually developing and altering, although nearly all the changes we go through are due to coincidental incidents and individual choices ("Lifespan Development Introduction and Information", 2018). The clear majority in life changes and the stages we go through are linked to common biological and psychological culture as human beings this is shared by all individuals. In this report it will show the case study created in appendix one informing how development psychology is linked, and the theories psychologist believed contributed to the transitions through life. Psychologist study the behaviour and mental processes

From the moment a child is born, he or she has basic needs for comfort and affection that should be met. Children that are not properly nurtured early in life do not form quality attachments with adults and learn that they cannot be trusted to meet the child’s needs. Reactive attachment disorder can develop when the child does not form loving, secure, and stable attachments with others, caused by inadequate or inconsistent care, maternal depression or separation, abuse, or neglect, among other things. As the child ages, this can lead to a myriad of difficulties, some examples being issues regulating emotions and behavior, a lack of cause and effect thinking, a desire to be in control, poor peer relationships, lying, and a destructive, impulsive, and manipulative nature. It is believed that children with reactive attachment disorder have the ability to form secure attachments, but this capacity has been compromised by their experiences early in life.

Another example of a disability that would not receive the right to reproduce freely would be the avoidant personality disorder which is similar to social anxiety because their symptoms are similar as are their genetics and treatment response which would make it hard to raise a child because if a child were to grow up in a household where the parent has social anxiety it would deprive the child of their bond to their mother or even parents if both parents have the disability. The child would grow up to be depressed or even have social anxiety themselves either because of the unhealthy household they’ve grown up in or the fact that they have inherited it from their

Two patients’ outcomes can be vastly different due to resilience even though they have the same disease process occurring. This paper is a concept analysis of the concept of resilience. Resiliency is often used interchangeably with adaptability, overcoming, survival or resourcefulness.
