Several models of child exist, each maintaining child as something other to adult. Stables asserts: “…how we think about [children] does affect how we deal with them” (2008: 1). Seeing children as becomings is a problem. Here, I would like to consider the recommendations from the most recent United Nations’ report card on the implementation of the UNCRC in the UK and place these against the question of how society ‘deals with’ children and whether a report that is more positive than ‘must do better’ is likely to take us beyond seeing the child as different, as other, as becoming.

Now-a-days we can see that human life is becoming very fast. Moreover, the city life is getting very busy day- by- day. So in the daily busy schedule it is becoming very difficult for the parents to monitor their children closely. This paper discusses about a smart wearable device like a wristband which tracks the child from time to time to ensure their safety. If any problem occurs it would alert parents through the cell phone so that they can take immediate action. This paper focus on the SMS text enabled communication. Parents can send SMS with some keywords and the device reply back. The device can detect the child’s approximate location, it can detect the body temperature and the surrounding temperature, humidity and also the heartbeat of a child. For the emergency situation, the device would have some measures like an alarm buzzer, SOS light which will notify the bystanders to help the child. So this paper is all about the safety and security of a child to help them to recover from any type of difficulty. Keywords = Wearable, wristband, child safety, IoT, location, SMS

AbstractIt is imperative that Social Sciences examine in depth the underlying issues in human relations that have contributed to divisions among persons, within families, institutions, between nations and religions. If we accept that dialogue is the main currency of statecraft, diplomacy, negotiation, mediation and peacebuilding (Rieker and Turn 2015), then we need to ask ourselves, what are the characteristics of a person capable of engaging in dialogue? Are they characteristics that can be taught? Are they characteristics that make us human?In his book “Relational Being” Gergen (2009) warns of the dire consequences we face if we continue on the pathway of “rugged individualism”. He explains how our relationships have become instruments for our own satisfaction. From Freud to Skinner, psychology has described human relationships as being primarily about seeking the greatest pleasure from others. But, the so-called “freedom” that we achieve gives us a satisfaction that is transitory at best. “Freedom contains an emptiness that only relationship can fill” (Gergen, 2009, p. 20). It is essential that we find the path to discovering the true meaning of relationship and more importantly cross-racial/ethnic relationships.Jean Baker Miller described what she termed “growth-fostering relationships” (Miller, 1986), and Chodorow (2001) has developed a theory regarding development suggesting that women develop along a relational pathway whereas men follow the developmental phases that move them toward autonomy. These theorists, and others, view the relational trait to be particularly characteristic of women. A more comprehensive understanding of the nature of the human person can be attained only by taking into consideration both autonomy and relational ability as equally important.Capacity for dialogue, therefore, is an important contribution that women bring to the world stage. Women from traditionally marginalized groups offer an essential and unique perspective to this topic due to their understanding of the role of power in the dynamics of relationships. To foster cross-cultural dialogue it is important to examine the power dynamics of what it means to be honest, empathetic and collaborative across cultures.In this discussion, the authors draw upon the fields of technology, child development, feminism, and the social justice literature in an attempt to articulate the benefits of dialogue. It is far from exhaustive and provides a cursory purview of this challenging topic. It is an example of how integration among different theories can help move our literature forward in understanding a challenging topic as dialogue. It also offers a perspective on how men and women can grow in their relationship building ability, and therefore ability to dialogue, by embracing characteristics like being vulnerable, cooperative, selfless, and nurturing, relating this to the teachings of Chiara Lubich.

Brazil, like other countries in the world, has been showing an increasingly long-lasting population growth. Over the last decade, much research has focused on understanding the complexity and impacts of aging. However, it is still not clear whether there is any relationship between the specific ways of life of the elderly and the sense of place they experience. We ask: what places and types of activities can contribute to a better quality of life for the elderly in their home, neighborhood, neighborhood and city? In order to analyze how the elderly live with the places they inhabit in contemporary urbanity, in order to provide new strategies for inclusive urban planning, the research used the method of photographic diaries to understand these dynamics. The study was applied in the Brazilian cities of Pelotas/RS, Belo Horizonte/MG and Brasília/DF, each one with three sections of neighborhoods chosen by different income groups (high, medium and low). Even with their great urban, economic and cultural differences, these cities have in common the transformations in the age pyramid, making the study more heterogeneous and diverse. As a result, it was possible to approach the concept of “becoming-child”, bringing together contemporary French philosophy with the sense of "good place" found in the elderly in the research. These coexistences led us to propose the exercise of composition of a “becoming-child-elderly”, towards a will to power and affirmation of architectural and urban life for a “creative-active” elderly person.

The background of this research is to analyze the impact of parental divorce on children. Divorce itself is defined as the end of the relationship between husband and wife which is carried out in several stages based on law and religion. Changes in attitude, emotional stability, and responsibility are the psychological impacts of divorce as well. Changes in children's attitudes, namely feeling inferior, children becoming shy, difficult to socialize with, and like to be alone. This kind of attitude shows that the child's psychology is disturbed due to depression because his parents are divorced. Apart from changes in attitudes, children's responsibilities also change, where a child should have responsibility for education, like to lighten or help parents, after divorce children become more like playing and lose responsibility. On the emotional side, kuja children are disturbed, their minds are depressed and suffering, they feel guilty, they feel embarrassed about their environment, all of which gives rise to inner conflict.

Full textAbstract:
This article explores how three well-known conceptual frameworks view child development and how they assume particular figurations of the child in the context of the South African National Curriculum Framework for Children from Birth to Four. This new curriculum is based on a children’s rights framework. The capability approaches offer important insights for children’s rights advocates, but, like psychosocial theories of child development, assumes a ‘becoming-adult view of child’, which poses a serious threat to children’s right to genuine participation. They also share the exclusive focus on understanding development as located ontologically in the individualised human. In contrast, critical posthumanism queers humanist understandings of child development and reconfigures subjectivity through a radical philosophical decentring of the human. The relevance of this shift for postdevelopmental child in the context of the new South African early years curriculum is threaded throughout the article. A posthuman reconfiguration of child subjectivity moves theory and practice from a focus on assessing the capabilities of individual children in sociocultural contexts to the tracing of material and discursive entanglements that render children capable. This onto-epistemic shift leads to the conclusion that the National Curriculum Framework for Children from Birth to Four requires a fourth theme (with guiding principles), which would express a multispecies relationality and an ethics of care for the human as well as the nonhuman.

Full textAbstract:
The practice of child labor is a burden on the economy of any nation, a stigma in the name of humanity and a shame for children, but due to personal interests of some sections, it is prevalent not only in India or third world countries but also in the so-called rich and developed countries of the world. The planned type is becoming increasingly prevalent in the countries also. Even in a rich and prosperous country like America, the incidence of child labor is continuously increasing. According to the report of the US Auditor General, between 1990 and 2000, incidents of child labor law violations in America have increased by more than 150 percent. The industrialists there also exploit the opportunities available to child laborers for cheap wages, whose wages are low. Similarly, an increase in such incidents has been recorded even in Central and Eastern Europe, but this problem is very serious in the countries of Farrukhabad district. As a conclusion of the data collected by various organizations, it can be said that in almost all the Zardozi centers of Farrukhabad district, children are exploited by employing them in various industries and works.

Introduction: Nepal has achieved a spectacular success in child health over the last decades but the achievement is not uniform across different social groups. Therefore, there is urgent need to identify the groups who are excluded from access of child health services which would give us population at risk to prioritize and utilize the scarce resources available in health sector more effectively and efficiently. Methods: The study was descriptive type and was based on review of secondary data of different studies done in past. The study used World Bank framework of dimension of exclusion to analyze social exclusion in child health in Nepal. The health differentials in child health across different social groups were analyzed using simple descriptive analysis like percentage and ratios. The trends of the child health disparities over the ten years were done comparing the data of NFHS1996 and NDHS 2006. Results: The study showed there were disparities in child health status by ethnicity, location, wealth status. In most of the cases, the trends of disparities are increasing for mortality indicators and malnutrition status. Interestingly, the gaps in accessibility indicators of child health services are becoming narrowed down. Conclusion: This study showed the discrepancies in child health status in different social groups. The inequality in childhood mortality and malnutrition are increasing over the period for different groups where as it is decreasing for accessibility indicators of childhood health services. Key words: Child health status, inequality, social exclusion, social groups. doi: 10.3126/jnps.v29i2.2044 J. Nepal Paediatr. Soc. Vol 29, No. 2, pp.79-84

Aspland, Amanda Dawn. "Unless you become like a child : psychological type and Christian becoming at Messy Church." Thesis, University of Leeds, 2016. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/13761/.
Full textAbstract:
This study addresses a major concern in the debate surrounding Messy Church regarding its ability to nurture Christian discipleship in people who rarely attend traditional church. As a work of practical theology, empirical data and theological reflection are combined in order to generate increased understanding concerning Messy Church as a crucible for discipleship as child-like becoming. Discipleship is conceptualised as a dual process of intersubjective relationship and experiential learning. The concept of intersubjectivity in relationship is informed by Martin Buber’s seminal work I and Thou. Experiential learning is approached through psychological type preferences, learning styles and basic value theory which come together in Conversational Learning Theory (Baker, Jensen and Kolb 2002). The Messy Church values of hospitality, creativity and all age inclusion are shown to be potentially conducive to Christian becoming, provided that dialectical tensions within learning and relating are balanced. A sample of 260 helpers and 203 adults from 41 different Messy Churches completed questions designed to assess attitudes towards Messy Church values, religious, spiritual and relational outcomes and psychological type. Age profiles suggested that helpers were predominantly over 50 and adult participants were predominantly in their 30s and 40s. Psychological type profiles were similar to previous studies of conventional church (predominantly sensing and judging). The significant predictors of outcomes among adults who are not regular attenders of conventional church were intuition, feeling and judging along with active participation and duration of attendance. Participation stood out as the main significant predictor of outcomes in regular church attenders. Among helpers, hospitality was significantly predicted by extraversion, socialisation and child-led learning, creativity was predicted by being female, young, a leader and child-led learning, and all age inclusion was predicted by being a leader. Recommendations are made based on a wider inclusion of difference and a balance of dialectical tensions in learning.

Full textAbstract:
9 Months In, 9 Months Out is a month-to-month real-time account of pregnancy and first-time parenthood that integrates the science of infant and child development with the personal journey involved in becoming a parent. Expertise can explain the science of what’s happening to a fetus or a baby throughout development, but all the science in the world can’t tell you what it feels like to have a baby: the pang of morning sickness, the pain of labor, the excitement of birth, and the joy that comes from seeing your baby’s first smile. This book is about pregnancy and first-time parenthood and what we experience in the 9 months of pregnancy and the 9 months that follow. As a professor of infant and child development, the author had certain expectations about how pregnancy and motherhood would go. Experiencing it was a totally different story. As she learned, the first few months of parenthood are much harder than anyone tells you. As she describes her personal journey through first-time parenthood, the author also takes a researcher’s lens to issues that are top of mind for new parents: breastfeeding, the sleep training controversy, gender development, the science (or lack thereof) behind the link between vaccinations and autism, the debate over screen time, and many more.

Although Beyoncé Knowles is not yet 30, the sensual superstar has already succeeded on many levels: as a dancer, singer, composer, model, music producer, video director and actress. Like rap star/entrepreneur Jay-Z, with whom Beyoncé recently married, she has evolved into a businesswoman, who with her designer-mother, Tina Knowles, markets Beyoncé's personal fashion line, House of Dereon. The multi-talented, global entertainer lends her name and image to many commercial and philanthropic ventures. She is the spokeswoman for L'Oreal and appears in ads for Pepsi and Ford. This biography tells the story of a young, talented woman's meteoric rise in the entertainment industry. From a shy, demure Catholic schoolgirl growing up in Houston, Texas, Beyoncé Knowles eventually morphed into the first African-American woman to win the Songwriter of the Year Award from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers Pop Music Awards. The once-shy suburban schoolgirl has gone far beyond her original dream of becoming a first-rate musician and vocalist. With the assistance of her manager-father-former Xerox executive Mathew Knowles-and as lead singer of the R&B girl group Destiny's Child (the world's all-time bestselling female group), Beyoncé has won 10 Grammy Awards and two Golden Globe nominations. Her albums have reached more than 20 million people worldwide, and she has become a cultural icon to music lovers everywhere as well as a role model for young women. Author Janice Arenofsky gives students and general readers alike an insightful look at a music and fashion icon who has a unique niche in popular culture today. Complete with photos, a timeline, and a thorough bibliography.

This chapter argues that life-changing experiences like having a child are hard to evaluate within standard models of rational decision-making, given the extent of the change they bring about in our preferences and the subjective inaccessibility of the phenomena that they center on. This is not a barrier that can be overcome by relying on testimony from others who have undergone changes of the sort in question. In making a transformative choice a person must navigate between alternative understandings of who she is—and the upshot of transformative change is to have one’s current self replaced with a different one.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter introduces a new perspective on the role of love in human evolution and human development. The bonds of love, whether between parent and child, lovers, or close friends, may all have a common biological root, activating neurochemicals that make us feel good. Like other human capacities, such as consciousness, learning, and creativity, love has a long and fascinating evolutionary history. Indeed, the evolution of love appears to be integral to the development of our human brain and hence to much that distinguishes us from other species. Moreover, love plays a vital, though still largely unrecognized, role in human development, with evidence accumulating about the negative effects of love deprivation as well as the benefits of love. But whether or not our needs for meaning and love are met, and whether or not our capacities for creativity and love are expressed, are largely determined by the interaction of biology and culture—specifically, the degree to which a culture or subculture orients to the partnership or domination end of the continuum.

Full textAbstract:
In 1999, N. Katherine Hayles argued that ‘we are all posthuman now’ owing to our daily interactions with intelligent machines. If moral panics about the time teenagers spend with screen media are to be believed, then present-day adolescents may have evolved into another life form entirely.1 Hayles’s conception of the posthuman is tinged with concern for the future; the very notion of human consciousness merged with computers calls up an association with the monstrous. As will become apparent, the question of the monstrous is a significant one for the analysis of the teen movie, particularly given the history of teenagers themselves as liminal figures removed from the more clearly defined identities of child or adult. However, William Brown observes that, like many a ‘post’, the posthuman should not be conceived as an identity that is wholly removed from the human, but rather a viewpoint that offers a perspective on the contingent position of humans in the world. The posthuman, then, offers a critical distance from human subjectivity, which allows us to perceive the white, male, Eurocentric assumptions that continue to underpin not only the conception of the human, but the tenets of liberal humanism.

Abstract Depression ;mociated with transitions occurs when a person bas difficulty coping with a change in their life. The change may be obvious, as in the case of divorce and/or becoming a single person, or it may be more subtle, like the loss of freedom following the birth of a child and becoming a parent. Retirement or changes in one’s social or work role (especially changes that bring diminished social status) are also often difficult. Moving, changing jobs, leaving home, a change in one’s economic status, a change in the family due to illness, e.g., taking on new responsibilities due to the ill health of a spouse or parent, are other examples of life changes or transitions.

Abstract As a very young child, Margot Kantaras felt more like a boy than a girl and came to consider herself a male despite her female body. Her parents even referred to her as their “son.”1 Growing up she engaged in typically male pursuits such as football, baseball, basketball, wrestling, and fishing. It was not until she was twenty-six years old, however, that Margot became aware of the possibility of physically becoming a male.

Full textAbstract:
It is becoming generally accepted that child development is culturally constructed. Cultural values and attitudes regulate child rearing values, developmental expectations, and emotional orientations. Employing descriptive methods in studying this problem, the chapter observes that leadership style in many societies have been plagued with greed, violence, indiscipline, and corruption. This study places blame on poor home foundation as it reasons with the Hebrew sage that nothing serious can be built on a faulty foundation (Ps. 11:3). Consequent upon this, the study upholds that if children who are Nigeria's future leaders are groomed in families that have religion and morality as the bedrock of their education, then God fearing leaders would be produced. To achieve this, the chapter further suggests that adapting and combining lessons from traditional African families and those of ancient Israel in the home training of Nigerian children would result in producing leaders like the biblical Daniel who remained incorruptible even in the face of serious challenges.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Born in a Chicago suburb on July 21, 1899, Ernest Hemingway was a child of the twentieth century, responding to its every pressure, recording its progress, and aging as it aged. His life seemed to embody the promise of America: with good fortune, hard work, talent, ambition, and a little ruthlessness a man can create himself in the image of his choosing. As a young man in Paris, Hemingway dedicated himself to his writing, and he let nothing interfere with his goal, not parents nor wives, not friends nor children. He created a public persona to match his prose, becoming the person he wanted to be. Like other self-made Americans, however, Hemingway’s invented self was a mask that he wore with less and less ease as he grew older. Despite this public image, his raucous life and several wives, and the critics who turned on him, he left stories and novels so starkly moving that some have become a permanent part of our cultural inheritance.

What might a classroom look like where students are invited to bring their minds, bodies, and spirits? How might learning be enhanced with this invitation? This chapter chronicles how Thompson was first invited fully into a classroom as a graduate student by the marvelous mentoring of a professor who taught a legendary course at Brandeis University, “Birth and Death.” Maurice Stein modeled a way to keep intimacy, intensity, and intellectual depth in the classroom while teaching about the Holocaust, the threat of nuclear war, attempted genocide of Indigenous people, and child abuse by incorporating meditation, paired listening, and collaborative teaching. After graduate school, Thompson stumbled through creating syllabi and pedagogy that invited students into the classroom, realizing that liberatory teaching requires understanding what hinders embodiment—how many of us ransom off our body parts below the neck on our way to becoming academics. Finding ourselves again is key to creating intellectually rigorous classroom environments. Thompson explores how she turned students away from their questioning spirits, and what healing she needed to do to change that.

There are times when decisions need to be made about what sort of future we want for the world. Golden Rice, the rice that is a golden colour because it contains vitamin A, is still a focus for anti-GM activists. They cannot abide the release of a GM plant. In some ways, Golden Rice is a harbinger of change driven by GM and synthetic biology. A naturally-occurring plant biochemical pathway has been targeted to synthesize beta-carotene in the grain. That grain, once cooked and eaten, can go a long way towards providing the daily requirement of vitamin A for a child. Golden Rice is about to be deployed in Bangladesh. The World Health Organization estimates that 250 million children are vitamin A deficient. Without that vitamin A, up to 500 000 children go blind every year, and half of those die within a year of becoming blind. Yet the anti-GM activists (calling themselves Stop Golden Rice) are still meeting in luxury hotels in places like the Philippines (Mark Lynas, April 2018, Cornell Alliance for Science) to prevent the release of this life-saving rice. Is that the sort of world you want to live in?

Children and the knowledge of taking care of them, pediatrics, are faced with growing challenges. With the advancement of medical sciences, pediatrics is becoming a group of subspecialties. This could lead to improving the care and management of pediatric disorders, however, transdisciplinary management should not be ignored. Although the health status of children has improved over the past years, still preventable child deaths are occurring, especially in low-income countries. The increased sexual abuse, discrimination, racism, increased intercountry adoption, malnutrition, environmental hazards like arsenic contamination, pornography, and surrogacy are among the most important current challenges to children’s health. Worldwide vaccination coverage has declined from 86% in 2019 to 83% in 2020, and the number of completely unvaccinated children increased by 3.4 million. Approximately, 1 billion children are dealing with multidimensional poverty all around the world among which at least 356 million of them live in extreme poverty, and 100 million more children plunged into poverty as a result of COVID-19. In this chapter, we will review the most important challenges of children’s health and pediatrics with a focus on social and mental health problems.

These progressions have recently been extended down to describe earlier levels of growth so we now have seamless progressions from skills and understandings toddlers might demonstrate up to highly sophisticated skills and concepts. This presentation briefly outlines ACER’s work and identifies key implications for educators. The pathways that support early reading development were described in progressions for listening comprehension and sounds and letters. Along with an early mathematics progression, these were conceptualised as embedded in an oral language progression. Educators need to understand what early growth in reading and mathematics looks like in order to foster key skills and concepts at an appropriate level for the child. This ensures a strong foundation for children to make good ongoing progress.

Assessment is a core component of quality early childhood practice. It is explicitly highlighted in the new Early Years Leaning Framework V2.0 and is a standard within Quality Area 1 of the National Quality Standard. In everyday early childhood education and care (ECEC) settings, and in initial teacher education, assessment is often limited to observational and narrative-driven approaches. Recent reviews of the literature highlight that there are few other assessment tools readily available to educators. What assessment looks like in early childhood is changing. The Commonwealth, as part of the Preschool Reform Funding Agreement, is developing, trialling, and implementing a preschool outcomes measure. The jurisdictions, too, are driving change: the Victorian Early Years Assessment and Learning Tool is an assessment designed to make consistent observations and assessments of children’s learning in preschool settings. The current state of assessment practices in early childhood settings, and the coming reforms, are provoking a debate about the purpose of assessment and the time invested in conducting assessment. Typically, distinctions are made between formative and summative assessments, as well as population measurement or reporting. Different tools are used for each – educators may imagine soon writing learning stories, completing a transition statement, and undertaking a new preschool outcome assessment for each child in their preschool setting. This paper highlights the latest trends and research in assessment in the early years and discusses a new model of early childhood assessment.
