Child Monitoring
In the age of sex predators and other exploitation, parents would be wise to keep a keen eye on their children. Indeed, children are abducted every day. These abductions are often by people familiar to the parent or the child but strangers often do the deed. Parents can offset the risks and the chances of this happening by keeping close and keeping the child with certain safer environments but there has to be some amount of trust and community involvement at some point. While some parents are very involved and are part of the solution, others still are entirely too trusting and/or careless given what can happen to their child and those parents need to engage and become better custodians of their children.
Analysis
The author of this report went to a food court in a mall as it seemed to be a good "target-rich environment" in terms of the number of children and parents present. This was indeed the case as there were many caregivers and children present. Most of the caregivers were women of some sort (mothers, babysitters, etc.) with no male present at all, or at least not alone. When a male was present, there was also a woman present at the same time. Presumably, these were the parents, stepparents or married spouses that were taking care of the child and were presumably mostly the biological parents of the child. However, this was impossible to know based on sight alone.
The author of this report noted many children and their caretakers. However, there were several types that became clear as the observations went on. First, there was the dual-caretaker situation whereby more than one person was watching the child, or at least was in the presence of the child, at once. This was usually manifested by a man and a woman being present but this was not always the case as there were sometimes multiple women (usually no more than two or three). The multiple women were probably babysitters or day care personnel on an organized trip or it could have been a collective of mothers with their children. When there was clearly more than one caretaker and it was not a couple, it was always women only…no men. Anyway, to go back to the dual-caretaker/couple situation, the male in the relationship seemed to be dominant. However, it was not because the woman was unwilling or unable to take the lead. The men seemed obligated and self-inclined to take the lead role and thus just did so rather than waiting for the woman to responds. The men were usually sterner but were often more gentle and reserved, not unlike a lot of the women. The author of this report did not really see a situation where a man was present and was not the dominant force unless both parents were a little lackadaisical with their observations, which did happen. However, this will be covered more in-depth later on. One specific example was a manifestation of a man and woman with two children. The younger child was in a sling on the man and thus could not wander off while the other child, about two to three years old, was walking alongside the parents. There was a little bit of a pattern whereby the older child would hold the hand of one of the parents but would eventually test their limits. They would let go of their parent's hand, which drew little reaction from the parents, but then they would start to saunter off a bit. Every single time this occurred, the male caretaker would call her back and she would immediately comply the vast majority of the time. In the event that there was not full or any compliance, the male caretaker would make a steady but gentle bee-line for the child and corral her and the pattern above would then repeat itself.
The next group that will be covered is the woman with more than two kids on her arm that was clearly overwhelmed. This type of caretaker clearly cared about the safety of her kids (or the kids in her care, whatever the case may be) but she was clearly unprepared for one or more reason. In many cases, it was because she simply had too many kids to control all at once. The author of this report saw about two to three situations where a single caretaker (always a woman) had at least two children in tow and was clearly trying yet failing due to the kids...

Executive Function Performance Test (EFPT) for healthcare practitioners who deal with mild and moderate-severity stroke patients. Executive function is important to overall health because it allows us to regulate our actions, plan our behavior, and set goals. Stroke patients frequently suffer from executive-function related losses; this study proposes a measure that will help quantify the extent of executive function loss. The design of this study was a basic experimental 3x1

" It becomes even more apparent now that the early childhood milestones are important ones, and are associated with how the child will approach problems and resolve them going forward from a very early point in life, and that the parents' role in that process is important, and large. Kathleen a. Roskos and James F. Christie (2000) say that a child's cognitive ability lends itself to a perspective on play, on
The psychological preference not only for familiar caretakers, or food, but also for familiar sounds as well as perhaps even the ability to recognize word boundaries. The article relates directly to this class in that it is an excellent example of the use of perception and memory. Not only does the infant perceive and has to ability to finely distinguish between the sounds of words, but shows the ability to
