instructions attached and please follow the grading rubric for this assignment

The interview with the child (and/or caregiver) for the multidimensional framework analysis assignment needs to be completed by Week 4 and you will submit this worksheet as preparation for the paper due in Week 5. You can type notes for the information on development from the text, or ALL of it can be handwritten, but for sure you MUST HANDWRITE your observations in each of the BPS and cultural/spiritual domains. These are the notes you take during the interview. The worksheet will be scanned and submitted as a PDF to the course.

1. Review the rubric to make sure you understand the criteria for earning your grade. 2. As research and preparation for this paper, you are required to spend time and interact with a child between the ages of six and 13 years old. You must spend at least one hour with the child (this interaction can happen via a virtual meeting), which will allow you to gather the information needed to write an acceptable paper. You will use the information and impressions you get about this child to assess his or her life stage and development. Parents may accompany the child in this interaction. 3. Interviews with immediate family members are not acceptable. 4. The information below serves as a guide for the completion of this paper: a. Critical Thinking and Assessment: i. What was the basis on which you selected the person you chose? ii. Identify and describe your child with regard to his or her life stage and environmental context. iii. What information did you gather as you consider the developmental theories of Piaget, Erikson, and Kohlberg? iv. In what ways does this child seem to demonstrate healthy development (physical, emotional, social, and spiritual) b. Engage Diversity and Difference: i. How, and to what degree, has this child been shaped by his or her culture? How do you know? ii. To what degree is this child like you when you were that age? How is the child different? iii. What biases do you bring to this situation? iv. How would your time spent be different if you selected a person from a different culture/race/region than yours? c. Human Behavior and the Social Environment: i. What influences have shaped (forced) this individuals behavior? ii. Based on what you have observed, in what ways does this person present as someone who is developing normally? iii. What resources are used by the family to maximize healthy development? 5. Your final paper should be five to seven pages long (this does not include the Title page or the reference page) with headings, double-spaced, and follow APA Style(new tab) requirements for format and citations. a. If needed please access APA formatting resources through the Academic Writer(new tab) website in the Course Homepage widget on the side to create your account which will give you access during this course. 6. When you have completed the assignment, submit it to your instructor using the Assignment submission page by the end of the workshop.

I have attached the instructions down below.

“The practice of throwing bones is a long practiced way of knowing by indigenous people”. Interrogate the indigenous ways of knowing using practical examples. Write for me a long detailed interrogative essay. Include scholarly citations and references. Include statistics and figures if possible.

Compare the following scenarios and explain how a total abortion ban would impact the development of the individual in each scenario. Lastly, explain whether you believe each of these people should be forced to give birth or granted safe and legal access to an abortion with a defense on your position.

Scenario A: Jasmine is a 19-year-old college student with plans to pursue a graduate degree. She is the first in her family to attend college and has a full academic scholarship. She is financially reliant on her scholarship and part-time work. Jasmine recently discovered she is 8 weeks pregnant after a contraceptive failure. Her relationship with the child’s father, a fellow student, is casual and not long-term. He is supportive of whatever decision she makes but does not want to be a parent.

Scenario B: Carla is 38 years old and married with two children, ages 7 and 4. She works full-time as a teacher and lives in a suburban neighborhood. Carla’s recent prenatal checkup at 14 weeks of gestation revealed a severe fetal anomaly that would likely result in the baby not surviving more than a few days after birth. Her OB-GYN explained that continuing the pregnancy poses a significant risk of uterine rupture and other complications due to a past C-section.

Scenario C: Maya is a 16-year-old high school student in Pennsylvania. One night after attending a party, Maya was sexually assaulted by someone she thought was a friend. She later discovers she is 10 weeks pregnant. Maya worries about stigma-being a “rape victim” and possibly being judged for her decision, no matter what it is.

Week 5 Case Study

Lily is a 3-year-old girl who lives with her parents, Rachel and Mark, in a suburban neighborhood. Rachel is a part-time nurse, while Mark works as a graphic designer. The family has a supportive environment, engaging in various family activities that foster communication and bonding. Lily has been attending the local daycare since she was 18 months old and has developed secure attachments to her parents and caregivers.

Lily shares a strong bond with her mother, Rachel. Their relationship is characterized by warmth, open communication, and mutual trust. Rachel engages in daily activities that strengthen their attachment, including:

Reading together every night before bed.

Encouraging Lily to express her feelings and thoughts during play or conversation.

Comforting Lily during times of distress and validating her emotions.

Lily feels safe turning to Rachel for comfort and guidance, and she demonstrates this attachment by seeking her out when she needs reassurance or help.

Mark has a playful, nurturing approach to parenting, which fosters a secure environment for Lily. They often engage in outdoor activities, such as biking and hiking, as well as creative activities, like arts and crafts. Their attachment grows through:

Quality time spent together, making Lily feel valued and important.

Encouraging independence while also being available for support and encouragement.

Mark often conveys positive affirmations and praise, which boosts Lily’s self-esteem.

Lily shows her attachment to Mark by initiating play with him, seeking his attention, and showing happiness in his presence.

Lilys daycare teachers, Ms. Adams and Ms. Lee, cultivate a nurturing and supportive environment. They establish trust through:

Consistent routines that create a sense of security for the children.

Individual attention to each child, making them feel seen and important.

Open lines of communication, encouraging parents to engage in their childs development.

Lily displays her attachment to her teachers by joyfully greeting them each morning, engaging in activities with them, and seeking their help or comfort when she encounters challenges with peers.

In both home and daycare settings, Lily exhibits confidence while exploring her surroundings. She feels secure enough to engage with new toys and activities, indicating trust in her caregivers. When faced with frustrations, such as sharing toys with peers, Lily appropriately seeks comfort from her parents or teachers, demonstrating her ability to manage her emotions with their support. Lily shows empathy towards other children, often comforting friends who are upset. This is likely reflective of the secure attachments she has developed, allowing her to interact positively with others.
