Psalm 127:3-5 Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.

WEEK 6 BLOG
I believe that a child's speech and language should be assessed. Speech and Language are important when communicating with other children. Educators and parents should make sure that their children are at the appropriate level when it comes to their speech in order to move on to the next grade level. If a child is 4 years old and speaking like a 2 year old that could be an issue. If this happens I believe a speech therapist should be brought in to work with the child. If a child has delayed speech then most likely they don't understand much of what they are hearing either.
What ways are school aged children assessed in other parts of the world?
In Russia, elementary school last for 9 grades. After 9th grade they go to secondary school. At the end of the 9th grade children take a National Exam. Russian children go to school from ages 6 to 17. Classroom work often means reciting and being tested in a written form or orally by the teacher. Sometimes students are evaluated by the teacher in front of the class.

WEEK 2 BLOG
A public health topic that is interesting to me is the mental health of mothers, fathers, and families. To know a child completely you have to not only learn about the child, but you have to know their family background and where they come from. Some children may come from families that have a history of ADHD or speech delays. Their families may have a history of violence, cancer, or heart problems these are things that educators should know when it comes to the children that they will see on a daily basis for at least 8 hours a day. Knowing things like this will allow problems with children to be regulated.
In most schools and child development centers their are usually files kept that give background information on each child as far as illnesses are concerned. Other personal information dealing with the families mental background is usually told if the parents wants it to be told or if they know that their child's mental state will affect the classroom or their child's peers.
In Italy mental illness is looked down upon. There may be shame associated with having an intellectually handicapped adult child in the family; in America their usually is no shame associated with having a handicapped family member. Parents in Italy may not fully utilize available services to assist their handicapped child like parents do in America. When it comes to domestic violence in Italian families it is usually hidden for long periods of time so that the family honor won't be put to shame. Domestic violence is hidden in American families as well but their are hotlines and groups that battered adults can use to help them get through it.

Birthing Experience???? Yea About That
Hey my new fellow classmates......
So myself, personally have never experienced or seen a child being born ever. I do someday hope to experience this joyful occasion but as of right now it is not in my to do list. I believe that every woman, should experience child birth and the feeling of being a provider and a nurturer. Children are so amazing and I think it is a chance to see what type of person they will become because of your guidance and your care. If it wasn't for babies there would be no need for child development and I probably would not have a job!! Therefore I think that child birth is very important in our society it is what keeps our world going round!!
Birth's in Madagascar
Madagascar is a country that lies near the coast of South Africa. Sadly Madagascar has a high maternal mortality rate. The lack of skilled attendants penalises many mothers and also the lack of resources.The local clinic in Belanitra has only four beds and about 20 women give birth there per month. Sometimes the clinic ask patients to bring their own mattress or the woman has to leave a few hours after labour to make room for the other expecting mothers. The clinic hopes that improved fistula care will make a difference to maternal mortality rates. Reading this article that I found makes me really appreciate my country. It should really make people who have children or that are expecting appreciate the resources that we have to make sure that our children are brought into this world safely and with the best care provided. I have a new appreciation for women who have to go through child birth in all countries because they all go through different struggles.
