I want to share The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute’s website on asthma (http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/dci/Diseases/Asthma/Asthma_WhatIs.html). It relates to information found in chapter 5 about asthma. The site is operated by the government (I think this makes it more reputable). My husband was diagnosed with asthma. The information on this website helps me to better understand his condition. I would describe the site as a reference source. It is a storehouse of information. It seems like the site caters to people who are not in the medical profession. So teachers, parents, and those suffering from asthma will find the information easy to understand and the site effortless to navigate. The website starts out with and overview (description) of asthma. It provides a detailed diagram of the chest, lungs, and airways which enhance the reading. It continues to describe the sign and symptoms of asthma, the treatment, and those who are most at risk of developing asthma. I would refer anyone who needs more information about asthma to this site. Connie (Tuesday -7:00pm)

Jessica Boyd---Thursday Chapter 19 Fruit Drinks According to the AAP, drinking too much juice can contribute to obesity, the development of cavitites, diarrhea, and other gastrointestinal problems, such as excessive gas, bloating and abdominal pain. When you give your child juice, it should be 100% pasteurized fruit juice and not fruit drinks. It's said that children under six months should not even be given juice. Instead of juice it's recommended that you give your child whole fruit. the main reason why it is important to not let your child drink too much juice is that it is filling and will decrease your child's appetite for other more nutritious foods. Juices do not have very much vitamins and nutrients.

http://www.firstaidweb.com/child3.html chapter 10 CPR In children cardiac arrest is caused by an injury such as poisoning, smoke inhalation, or head trauma, which causes the breathing to stop first. If the child is unresponsive and you are alone with him, start rescue efforts immediately and perform CPR for at least 1 to 2 minutes before dialing 9-1-1. Before you call an ambulance, check the child for responsiveness by gently taping the child and shouting, "Are you okay?" the website says If the child is clearly unconscious, remember your A-B-C and check the child's airway. Look, listen and feel for any signs of breathing. If the child remains unconcious pinch his nose with your fingertips or cover his mouth and nose with your mouth creating a tight seal, and give two breaths When giving air to a child, be sure to use shallower breaths and keep an eye on the child’s chest to prevent stomach distention. Place two fingertips and applying slight pressure on his carotid artery for 5 to 10 seconds. If don't feel a pulse then the victim's heart is not beating, and you will have to perform chest compressions. I am CPR certified and plan to remain that way in case of an emergency.

Chapter 14 Additives These days, many of the foods being consumed are made of chemical additives. Although many people do not even know the name of these chemical additives, they want to know about possible health threats and dangers. One way to take caution with additives is to avoid sodium nitrite, saccharin, caffeine, olestra, and artificial coloring. These things are not only a possible health threat but also foods with these things typically have low nutritional value. The two most familiar additives are sugar and salt and because we take in the most of them, they could pose the greatest risk. Although there are many harmful additives, many additives are safe and some add nutritional value to foods.

Carbohydrates
This website goes into much greater detail concerning carbohydrates. It is very much like talking about them in a biology class. What is nice about it is that this site offers external links to other sites to allow you to accesses additional information about this subject. This site also gives you diagrams and chemical equations for carbohydrates. It also gives you quizzes and questions to help you review that concept.
I like the following website because it discusses ways to keep our children healthy in an all around manner from washing their hands to preventative treatments. The links at the top of the page allow you to choose a subject and navigate through the info like planning meals and emergency procedures. This really is a nice site for both parents and teachers. =)

ReplyDeletePunishment and discipline are major part of raising children. Parents must learn how to effectively discipline and punish their children. This website gives a lot of details. It lists different ways to punish children and also how to reward them. It also lists certain things to keep in mind. For insistence, you should always stay consistent with your punishment or kids will be confused about what they should and should not do. This website is very helpful.

CPR
In children cardiac arrest is caused by an injury such as poisoning, smoke inhalation, or head trauma, which causes the breathing to stop first. If the child is unresponsive and you are alone with him, start rescue efforts immediately and perform CPR for at least 1 to 2 minutes before dialing 9-1-1. Before you call an ambulance, check the child for responsiveness by gently taping the child and shouting, "Are you okay?" the website says If the child is clearly unconscious, remember your A-B-C and check the child's airway. Look, listen and feel for any signs of breathing. If the child remains unconcious pinch his nose with your fingertips or cover his mouth and nose with your mouth creating a tight seal, and give two breaths When giving air to a child, be sure to use shallower breaths and keep an eye on the child’s chest to prevent stomach distention. Place two fingertips and applying slight pressure on his carotid artery for 5 to 10 seconds. If don't feel a pulse then the victim's heart is not beating, and you will have to perform chest compressions. I am CPR certified and plan to remain that way in case of an emergency.

ReplyDeleteThis website explains not only the physical development of the child but also the ways in which children grow at young ages. The physical developments listed on this website strongly relate to the developments explained in the book. This website also talks about developmental milestones children should reach in order to reflect their capabilities at various ages. Several different types of movement are expressed at this website which all explains movement that children should engage in during different stages in their life. Locomotor movement are especially useful for the young child and other types of movement such as nonlocomotor and manipulative should increase in a child’s day as their age increases.

This website is probably the best that I have seen all semester. When you first come to the site you can chose to enter as a parent/educator, child, or even a teen. For children it explains growth and development of the body, how the body works, health and illnesses, and how to stay safe. Growth and development is very important and children can go to this website to learn all about it and have their questions answered. This website answers embarrassing questions that children want answered and show adults how to answer those questions. It is very important that children understand the changes they go through and how to stay healthy

Additives
These days, many of the foods being consumed are made of chemical additives. Although many people do not even know the name of these chemical additives, they want to know about possible health threats and dangers. One way to take caution with additives is to avoid sodium nitrite, saccharin, caffeine, olestra, and artificial coloring. These things are not only a possible health threat but also foods with these things typically have low nutritional value. The two most familiar additives are sugar and salt and because we take in the most of them, they could pose the greatest risk. Although there are many harmful additives, many additives are safe and some add nutritional value to foods.
