Fifth Factor (any particular factor that may exist in a specific case that might impact upon the child's best interests): Though the trial court did not call out this factor, both parties testified that their daughter was well behind in Math and Reading. The Defendant during trial contended that both parties had failed their daughter in that they had not followed up with the school prior to her attending Dunlogin Middle School. The Defendant until his daughter was in fifth grade had very little visitation with his daughter do to the Plaintiff’s successful effort in having his visitation denied and or severely limited. The trial court admitted the parties’ report card that showed that while the parties daughter was living with him for a
year, that she received very few absences, whereas when she was living with the Plaintiff’ her mother she was absent often from school. Both parties testified as the fact that their daughter is frustrated with public school, and both sought alternative solutions. The Defendant sought to relocate his daughter to Washington State so that she could attend a high bred public school whereas she could attend her more difficult classes online with the assistance of a care giver. The Plaintiff’s solution was to send the parties’ daughter to a private school costing approving $24000 per year, while asking the court to obligate to pay by having his child support obligation increase. Here, the Defendant argues that public school system is obligated meet his daughter’s requirements and that the court should not order the Defendant to pay for private school based off the fact that Plaintiff desire is to have the parties’ daughter go to private school. Further, in the event that court thought the parities’ daughter required a private school education because of a special education need, it seems that the Plaintiff would have to prove that the Maryland State Education System cannot meet her needs. The Plaintiff made no attempt to prove that the public-school system could not meet the parties’ daughter needs. Additionally, the trial court at trial seemed to take judicial notice that the State of Maryland has an obligation to meet every child education needs especially when it comes to special education. Therefore, this factor cannot be used to support a ruling that the Defendant should have his child support obligation increase in order that his daughter is able to attend private school.
For the purpose of this paper the social worker interviewed is Ronnita Waters, MSW, RCSWi; she is currently an operations manager at the Center for Family and Child Enrichment (CFCE). The issue or area where her advocacy skills are practiced is within child welfare. Mrs. Waters mentions to the interviewee “I always wanted to work with children, then eventually for children.” when asked what developed her interest in this area of social work. Furthermore, before she became an operations manager, the social worker was an adoptions supervisor, overseeing adoption case managers and ensuring the proper implementation of policies such as the sibling placement policy and adoption policy. In addition, before achieving the role of supervisor, she was

Our Young Folks was a children’s magazine that ran from 1865 until 1873. Although the magazine didn’t last long, it was widely read by children across the country and even abroad, and circulation eventually exceeded 75,000 (Kelly 345). The magazine began publication just four months before the end of the Civil War, and during this time of upheaval Our Young Folks was an ethical guide for the nation’s children. Nearly every story offers the reader a moral, and children were continually urged to put others before themselves.
To effectively make a claim for a new trial based on a violation of the Fifth Amendment Right to Due Process, the movant must satisfy the Brady standard: 1) the suppressed evidence is favorable to the accused; 2) the government either willfully or inadvertently suppressed the evidence; and 3) the suppressed evidence was material to the guilt or innocence of the defendant. Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963). The discretion of the Court to grant a new
The Working Together to Safeguard Children (2015) Framework, it identifies that the welfare of the child is paramount, the guidelines outlined that children may be at risk from being labelled and that they may require extra support in mainstream settings However, Dunn (1968) argued that segregating children who have special needs causes children to be "labelled”. Children who have autism and are in a mainstream setting may be taken out of lessons for different reasons and require extra support to help their educational needs. Children with autism spectrum can be at more risk of being bullied by other children because of their condition especially for behavioural related problems. It could be suggested that by not it including children in mainstream
Over the past 30 years, the position of children in society has changed with increasing recognition of children’s rights and the need to involve them in decisions about their education, social and health care. In recent times as more importance is being given to the rights and views of the child, there has been a pragmatic shift from “research upon children” to “research with children” and the adoption of the concept of child-centered research. Marshman Z has summarized child-centered research as: regarding children as competent and reflexive in reporting their own experiences, giving children a voice, taking seriously what they say and rather than researching on children, working for and with them1.
five factor theory is a fairly recent proposal and has its basis in earlier work,
The policies and procedures I will be talking in this essay to help children, young people and their families whilst the child is being looked after include: The United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child 1989, The Children Act 1989, The Children Act 2004, The Data Protection Act 1998, Framework for the Assessment of Children in Need and their Parents 2000, the Human Rights Act 1998 and Every Child Matters 2003,
There is an abundance of materials and resources that aim to educate, inform, and prepare new parents for the transition into parenthood. Nevertheless, most of these resources focus on child safety and how to meet the child’s basic needs. New parents should be knowledgeable in these important subjects, but they should also know how beneficial parental involvement and co-parenting can be for the child’s development. Furthermore, parents also need to be aware of the things that can be detrimental such as certain discipline strategies and “helicopter parenting.” Most importantly parents must know that the quality of their relationship also impacts the child’s development and that this also works the other way around. Becoming parents can also
Also when planning play opportunities for the children it is important that the practitioners respect the children's individual needs. This is because every child is different and will have different needs such as some children may have a disability or and additional need such as if a child was in a wheelchair. If this was the case the practitioner would need to make sure that there is enough space for the child move around the setting and make sure that all resources are within the child's needs. This can be done by speaking to the children's parents to gather more information about the children. Once the practitioners have a better understanding of the children they then can create and environment suitable for the children before they come
1) When determining the proper punishment for an offender, a judge must take circumstances into consideration. When considering such circumstances, the judge must make the decision whether they affect the situation negatively, positively, or not at all. There are two different types of factors when evaluating the conditions of a crime: aggravating factors and mitigating factors. Aggravating factors can be described as conditions that increase the severity of the offender's sentencing. An example of an aggravating factor that could lead to a longer or more intense sentencing would be if the offender's motives were to target a group or person because of their race, sex, age, religion, or sexual orientation.
These theories have overlapping notions, however we do not know which ones are truly important in understanding antisocial behavior. A few examples of these theories are Eysenck's PEN theory, Costa and McCrae's five factor model, and Clonigers seven-factor temperament and character model. PEN theory includes psychoticism, extroversion, and neuroticism theory. The five factor model contains neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness, and conscientiousness. The seven factors model comprises of novelty seeking, harm avoidance, reward dependence, persistence, self-directedness, cooperativeness, and
The five-factor model includes five broad domains or dimensions of personality that are used to describe human personality. The five factors are openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. While these five traits should be sufficient on their own to describe all facets of a personality, there also should be no correlation between the main factors. The Five Factor Model is now perhaps the most widely use trait theory of personality and has achieved the closest thing to a consensus in personality research. The advantage of this theory is that there have been multiple research studies conducted on this theory. Results suggest that this theory is effective in describing and determining personality. However, this theory is very categorical and does not allow for much flexibility. It also looks at the person personality at that time and now how it developed.
The second major theory is called the trait or five-factor model. Often referred to as the "Big 5". The five personality traits described by the theory are extraversion, agreeableness, openness, conscientiousness and neuroticism. Beneath each proposed global factor, a number of correlated and more specific primary factors are claimed. One strength of the trait perspectives is their ability to categorize observable behaviors. In other words, observing the behaviors of an individual over time and in varying circumstances provides evidence for the personality traits categorized in trait theories. Another strength is that trait theories use
Parental involvement promotes the social growth of a child. Children whose parents are involved in their education have many advantages. They have better grades, test scores, long-term academic achievement, attitudes and behavior than those with disinterested mothers and fathers (Gestwicki, 2001). Parents becoming involved in their child's schooling creates extra sources of social constraint to influence the child's behavior (McNeal, 2001). For example, parents talking to their children and becoming involved in the school conveys a message to the child of education being important. Parents should be talking with your children's teacher and letting her know about your family. The more she knows about your child, the better she will be able to connect with your child.
