Personal Childhood Web

This picture means so much to me. I uploaded this picture because family is everything to me. This is a picture of my mother, oldest brother, and myself. My mother is an important figure in my life. Like my mother, my brother also nurtured and cared for me. It was great in school to have a big brother to protect me. 









This is a picture of my family. To the right is my oldest son Keartis. Keartis was my first born and whether he knows it or not he pushed me to my limits. Having him at such a young age added determination to my life. He strives for the best and also see the good in everyone. I consider him my superman. To the left is my middle child, Tyrik. I had him my sophomore year in college. Although that was a stressful year for me, he added so much joy to my life.  I continued to strive for my goals and that was to be the best mother I could be to my children and earned my bachelor degree. At the bottom is my youngest child Nicholas. Nicholas has really kept me going. This past year was a struggle for me and he was always there with his hugs and kisses. My family means everything to me and I would not trade my life for anything in this world. 
This is a picture of my father and me. My father was not a part of much of my life. Although he was not a part of my life growing up, I loved my father. He inspired me by the use of his words. I wanted to prove him wrong so I guess he contributed to the development of my life.

CHILD DEVELOPMENT AND PUBLIC HEALTH

SIDS SUDDEN INFANT DEATH SYNDROME Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is the sudden, unexplained death of an infant younger than one year old. Some people call SIDS "crib death" because many babies who die of SIDS are found in their cribs. SIDS is the leading cause of death in children between one month and one year old. Most SIDS deaths occur when babies are between one month and four months old. Premature babies, boys, African Americans, and American Indian/Alaska Native infants have a higher risk of SIDS. Although health care professionals don't know what causes SIDS, they do know ways to reduce the risk. These include: This information is meaningful to me because so many people are not even aware SIDS. It is so important that families be educated on the safe sleep habits when it comes to their infant. Compared to rates in other developed countries, the U.S. SIDS rate remains high. For example, in 2005, the U.S. rate ranked second...

My Connections to Play

QUOTES THAT SUMMARIZE WHAT PLAY REPRESENTED FOR ME AS A CHILD PICTURES OF ESSENTIAL    PLAY ITEMS I ENJOYED    AS A CHILD As I was growing up, playing was a way of life. My mother encouraged play and so did the entire neighborhood. I remember vividly how on the weekends we would get together and ride our bikes from one block to the next. I remember jumping rope day in and day out. The weekends we looked forward to. Groups of friends would get together to ride the bus to Greenville to go to Rollerworld. Rollerworld was the place where we would meet people from another town and maybe become friends.  Play was considered a way of connecting with one another. Today play is so much different from the way I engaged as a child. Technology has taken over the way our children communicate with each other. Even as I look at my 13-year-old son and compare his way of communicating, for him he mostly engages his peers using a cell phone and video game...

CHILD BIRTH IN YOUR LIFE AND AROUND YOU

Image
I was extremely scared of childbirth. I DO NOT handle pain well at all. I had been fortunate enough to avoid any kind of surgery or stitches. I cry every time I get a needle. My entire pregnancy I heard my doctor tell my mom because of my age I would have a C-section. My mother would respond, "I promise you everything is going to be okay." Then I would proceed to tell her just how scared I was, but I was determined to get through the pregnancy. My childbirth experience began at the early age of 15. I had no idea my life would change so drastically. August 23, 1993 was the day I gave birth to my first child. I remember going through the hospital doors and up to labor and delivery. I was just a child myself and was about to experience a life changing event. I got moved into my room and my induction got started. I, amazingly, only shed a few tears after they finally managed to get the IV into my hand. They started the meds to induce labor and I felt fine. The contractions...
