Childhood Depression and Suicide: The Appropriate Role of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) in Treatment
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page discussion of depression and suicidal tendencies among children. While the suicide rate has actually declined since the introduction of SSRIs, there is a growing concern that these drugs many contribute to suicidal thoughts and behavior among some children. Is it possible that the declining suicide rate is not a reflection of SSRI usage but of some other factor? This paper explores the validity of the concerns over SSRIs. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Childhood Growth And Development: Birth Through Three Years Old
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. The extent to which birth through three years old is a critical period with regard to individual development is both grand and far-reaching. Myriad theorists have charted this time frame by means of cognitive and emotional development, with the common denominator among them all being that what is learned during this period will shape the child's entire adolescent and adult life. Piaget and Erikson, whose respective works represent two of the most widely acclaimed theories of childhood development, illustrate just how crucial certain stages are between the ages of birth to three years old. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Childhood Onset Bipolar Disorder: Symptoms Prior To Diagnosis
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. There is no longer any question – clinical, scientific or anecdotal - as to whether children can be diagnosed with bipolar disorder, a mental imbalance typically attributed to adults. What is especially difficult about making this diagnosis, however, is the manner by which bipolar symptoms closely mimic those of other childhood disorders like Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Childhood Prejudice / An Aspect of Socio-Moral Development
[ send me this paper ]
A 12 page research paper on the development of childhood prejudice. The writer looks at the formation of racial preferences, stereotyping, and supports all ideas with existing research studies from journal articles. The point is made that classroom settings are of particular importance to this area of research and consequently, appropriate educational suggestions are made for reducing the development and continuation of the destructive "hate cycle." Bibliography lists approximately 20 sources.

Childhood Sexual Abuse
[ send me this paper ]
Childhood sexual abuse is a problem of increasing magnitude in the United States. Children who are sexually abused often know their abusers and research suggests that some children who are abused by parents, family members, or clergy often create a normative view of the sexual abuse that creates a cycle of abuse. In fact, it can be argued that a large percentage of children who are sexually abused become sexual predators in adulthood, and prior to this, may participate in sexually abusive behaviors with other children. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Children and Divorce: The Advantages of Group Therapy
[ send me this paper ]
A 9 page overview of the many impacts divorces inflicts on children. Emphasizes that group therapy can go a long way toward resolving these impacts and in optimizing child welfare. Concludes, however, that group therapy, however, is just as dependent on outside factors as is any other type of behavioral therapy. The variation in effectiveness is largely dependent on a number of factors such as the degree of conflict which exists prior to and after the divorce, the custody arrangements, the degree to which the estranged parent stays involved with the children, and the age a child is when divorce occurs. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Children and Divorce: The Advantages of Group Therapy
[ send me this paper ]
A 14 page discussion of the benefits of group therapy in dealing with children of divorced families. Emphasizes the need for well-trained and experienced group therapists in dealing with these sometimes complex situations. In addition to the qualifications of the therapist, however, a number of outside factors such as family cooperation and structure can have a tremendous impact on the effectiveness of group therapy in divorce. Bibliography lists 12 sources.

Children And Moral Recognition
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. After extensive research, Piaget identified a distinct recognition between right and wrong beginning at about five years old, noting how children considered rules both "rigid and unalterable" because they were put in place by authority figures such as parents. Moreover, the fact that children at this age are challenged to comprehend others' perspectives and/or intent, which leads them to "focus more on objective outcomes than on subjective motives" (BBC/OU, 2006). Myriad components can disrupt moral development, not the least of which includes the imbalance of punishment versus reward, transcending law for a higher ethical reason (i.e. vigilantism) or the moral course (or lack thereof) established by an influential person. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Children And Obesity
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Children are a product of their environments and, as such, develop much of themselves as a mirror of what they see. Parents who smoke yet forbid their children to smoke are sending mixed messages that do not validate their words; by the same token, mothers and fathers who instill healthy attitudes by displaying them do not present themselves as double standards. This is no different from the alarming trend of childhood obesity whereby children have learned all the wrong foods to eat out of parental convenience, laziness or lack of knowledge. Coupled with the sedentary activities of computers, video games and television, today's kids have little chance to offset the growing prevalence of obesity overtaking their generation. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Children And Self-Esteem
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. There are a number of variables that are pertinent to an individual's sense of self-esteem. Attaining a healthy self-perception is arguably one of the most difficult and ongoing of life tasks, in that it depends not only on intrinsic sources but also external environmental stimulation. From parental methods to school to social interaction, the extent to which children from infancy through late childhood develop self-esteem encompasses several elements. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
