Biological Frame Work Analysis

1. The Biological frame work deals with biophysical growth and development along with biophysical strengths and hazards. First off, for growth and development, when my mom found out she was pregnant with me, she immediately stopped drinking alcohol and even quit diet soda. My mother is not a smoker so she didn’t have to worry about it affecting me or trying to quit. She told me that she tried to stay away from smokers as much as she could so she wouldn’t grasp second-hand smoke. She went on prenatal vitamins to help with folic acid, iron, calcium and others nutrients like that. When she went for a check-up near my due date, they found that I was breeched but told my parents that it wasn’t harming me and they turned me around the right way

by pushing on my mother’s stomach a month before I was born. If I was to be born breeched, I could’ve been injured to where my hip socket and thigh bone would separate. Also, the umbilical cord would be more flattened so it could’ve caused nerve and brain damage due to a lack of oxygen so they wanted to make sure that it wouldn’t happen. During the birthing process, my mother had a natural birth with me. She said that she wanted to try a birth without the drugs since she used them with my sister. I had no complications when I arrived, I was breathing fine, crying, and had a good skin color. I was a healthy 8 pounds, 9 ounces and 20 inches long baby. My mother told me that I was on the right track for developing such as sitting up at 6 months along with drinking milk and eating baby cereal and I walked at 10 months. The only thing that was slow was the fact that I was bald for the first 2 years of my life. For biophysical strengths, I was a pretty healthy child and still am.

Some of the hazards include family history of diabetes, cancer, strokes and asthma. All of my grandparents had/have diabetes. Both my grandfathers had cancer which one past away from within 4 months of being diagnosed and my grandmother had multiple strokes and eventually passed away with organ system failures. When I was little, I often got strep throat so I almost had to get my tonsils removed but luckily it stopped. I deal with really bad migraines to as if I feel a slight headache coming on, I have to take Excedrin right away and lay down or I become nausea, dizzy and feel numbness and tingles in my arms, fingers and toes. I have built up scar tissues on my knees so when I stand, walk or run for a long period of time, I feel extreme pain and discomfort so I have to sit down and take a break. Lastly, I have a narrow air way so it’s harder for me to catch my breath and it’s harder to run for a long period of time. I was told that it was important that I kept my mouth open while I slept so that I won’t stop breathing overnight so that’s something that I will always have to live with because they can’t do much with a narrow airway. All of these things I listed can impact the psychological framework by my learning abilities and the ability and level of my

performance.
For the psychological framework starting with the cognitive and info processing in my life, when I was in 2nd grade, I had to get extra help in reading because I was behind the other students and it was harder for me to comprehend the material. To this day, I still have to study extra and spend more time because it is harder for me to grasp some concepts that might come easier to others. I have a fairly good memory and pretty decent attention span. If something is interesting, I can listen for a while but if it doesn’t spark an interest to me, I usually can’t pay attention after a while. For communication, I’m pretty good at having good, solid conversations. When I was younger, I used to be very shy and would avoid talking to people but as I get older and meeting new people, I’m finding it easier to communicate with others. As I get older, my vocabulary keeps getting bigger and using different words. Sometimes I stutter on words and can’t always articulate words but as I keep getting older and speaking more in front of people, I
