Introduction
Many things have happened to me in my life, but July 21, 2007, was one of my worst days. It was warm and sunny summer day. But, that evening the sun had been wiped away by dark gray clouds. My family had gathered at my Grandma’s house as we normally did on the weekend. All of my family was there my grandma, mother, sister, uncles, cousin and aunts except one.
My Aunt Darnelle was in the hospital. She had a serious case of asthma so lately, she had been in and out of the hospital. Later on that evening, my Grandma’s phone started to ring. As the phone rung my grandma looked down at her phone and proceeded to walk towards her room. I was not sure who the call was from but it had seemed very important. After she received the call we all left her house and gathered into four vehicles and headed to the University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor.
I was in the car with my mom, great aunt, and my aunt Darnelle’s best friend. I asked my mom why we were rushing to the hospital. Before my mother could answer my great aunt chimed in and said that things were not looking too well for my aunt. My mother gave her a long stare. The ride to the

I am not sure if this is advanced or not but I started walking a few days before my first birthday. My walking was not balanced. When walking, I would take a few steps then fall. I could sit up, without anyone holding me. At one year old I mocked a lot of behaviors. I made weird noises while sticking my tongue out. By age five I could speak clear, and use full sentences. I could follow rules. From ages six to eight I could do a lot on my own physically. I enjoyed playing games. In school, my favorite part of the day was snack time and going to the gym. In the gym, there were many activities to encounter. During this time, I was could dress, and go to the bathroom alone. At ages nine to eleven, I started to play with just girls. I started to focus on my friends more than I did my
For the next few days, I kept on thinking what would happen to her and what my cousins would think about this. When my mom and I went to the hospital to visit my aunt, she looked exactly the same as when I last saw her, only in a hospital bed this time. As soon as we walked into her room, she started saying how bland the food was and how boring it was which was ironic because she worked at a hospital herself.
" I started crying violently as soon as I read her mom 's
My mother had made the usual phone call to make sure they had arrived to the place safe, but my mom didn’t get the response she was expecting. With
The fun was being outside. You never know you might luck up and find a girlfriend. My parents never objected, but they didn’t encourage me either. As a young boy, your peers would tell you stories
They would also develop primitive reflexes and have control of their head. When an infant hits 4-6 months they would physically be able to sit unsupported, roll over and develop their fine motor skills such as moving things from one hand to another. Also at this age, they should weigh between 14.8-17.5lb and be 26.1-27.2 inches tall. Physically, infants start to stand alone at the age of 9 months and eventually develop the fine motor skill of having ‘pincer’ movements between their thumbs and fingers. This would allow infants to explore and discover for themselves by being in contact with the things around them.
On December 5th, 2011 a woman who loved me so much passed away, leaving me with a mountain to climb of depression and a event that would change everything that I knew and loved. When I was a young girl my grandma was my person, my rock, my everything, every time their was a problem I would go to her a she would help me through it. She really helped me when I was six and my parents informed me that they were going to get a divorced, at that age I didn’t understand why I thought that everything was great in our family. During this time my grandma took care of me greatly and made sure I was loved and cared for. I can remember every part of when she died.
Nature and biology dictated that I was developmentally ready to walk, and the nurturing of my environment supported me in taking my first
Babies will be strong enough to stand unaided for a few minutes and gradually take their first steps. They will start to throw things and confidently be able to hold cups and spoons as the pincer grip continues to
The child I observed took initiative while playing with toys and participating in activities. She also explored by trying new games that she had not played before. The child’s overall development was appropriate for her
Therefore, our job was to inform the patient’s brother what had happened and why. Needless to say, it was a tense scenario, but I’m grateful to have been able to do it in a simulated situation before having to do it for real. On Friday, my mom called to tell me that grandpa wasn’t doing well and that my dad was flying to Oklahoma to see him.
They also begin developing fine motor skills and beginning to grow permanent teeth. Emotional and social development Confidence and independence grow increasingly between these ages. Children also become aware of feelings, and from this form friendships. They also have a growing attention span and sense of humour. Speech, language and communication Children between the ages of 5 and 8 learn to socialise, build confidence and self- esteem.
“Here is the tragedy: when you are the victim of depression, not only do you feel utterly helpless and abandoned by the world, you also know that very few people can understand, or even begin to believe, that life can be this painful. There is nothing I can think of that is quite as isolating as this” (Andreae). I began to struggle with depression when I was in my second year of middle school. People always assume a major life event is what caused it, but nothing had changed: my dad moved out of state when I was in the fourth grade, I was friends with the same people I had been friends with the previous year, and I had never been very close with my step-father. But none of this was new to me, so what had caused this change in my mentality?
2months- When your child is of 2 months and there's a lack of visual fixation and no social smile. 4-6 months and he/she fails to track person or object, no steady head control, no response or turning to sound or voice. 6 months - Decrease or absence of vocalizations. 9-12 months- Fails to sit independently.
One of my experiences with failure took place when I was in fourth grade. There were many problems accumulated and I was a child who needed people to see if I did my homework or study for the test, because I couldn’t concentrate and was distracted by anything in the room. My brother also had problems that year, he needed more attention because he didn’t get along with his math teacher and my Mom was always after him with the homework; otherwise he would have failed Math at the end of the year. In fourth grade, the teacher that was assigned to us was one of the strict teachers that were in that school
During this time, children are building on the base of skills that have been developed during early childhood and are now moving forward to being more independent, both intellectually and emotionally. This stage is when caregivers should know what milestones to be looking for when evaluating their students. When looking for developmental milestones during this period, knowing what to expect as the children grow, can reassure you that the children are on track with their peers or alert the caregiver to potential concerns or delays in development (Destefanis & Firchow, 2015). Some specific milestones that may be looked for in motor development are being able to ride a bike by the age of six and can move in coordinated rhythm with music or a beat, dress themselves, and tie their shoes.
