Spiritual:

I think spiritual development determines and helps with how a child behaves during this stage. Depending on the type of spirituality and connection of a higher source, it helps to teach and distinguish between right and wrong. I believe this helps with the state of mind that many young children carry throughout this stage life. In the district where I am employed, the community is a big believer in God. In my class when we I have discussions on certain topics, the students always refer back to the bible or their believes. If a student is my class gets in trouble and does something that does not seem appropriate, the students will make comments like what would Jesus do, or you know that God does not like that. So I do believe it has a major impact on the lives of our students.

Intellectual:

During this stage, a child's metamemory, selective attention, and the use of mnemonic strategies begin to improve. They gain better skills in information processing abilities. Middle childhood through adolescence allows student's intelligence to be measured in different ways. There is a major growth in pragmatics, use of vocabulary, grammar, and syntax. They develop reading comprehension skills, and writings skills also. During middle childhood and adolescents, different sources of learning problems may be recognized or acknowledged. Students may have some type of learning disability, ADHD, or dyslexia. Children with dyslexia usually has a parent who has dyslexia also. This is why we have 504's and IEPs to make sure all children with disabilities are entitled to a free appropriate education. There may also be communicative disorders such as articulation, expressive/receptive communication disorder, or stuttering.

    To a great extent, stress can be a helpful response, especially for prehistoric humans.

Consequently, although stress can be helpful for individuals today, many often experience chronic stress, inflicting varying degrees of damage to their bodies.

  • What Stress Is

    2588 Words  | 6 Pages

    Stress means different things to different people and stress effects people in different ways. Some people think stress is something that happens to them such as an injury or a promotion and others think that stress is what happens to our mind, body and behaviors in response to an event. While stress does involve events and how one responds to them these are not the critical factors, but our thoughts about the situation in which we are involved are the critical factors. Essentially, stress exists whenever homeostasis is disturbed or cannot be maintained (Stress and the Social System Course Guide, 2013). Homeostasis refers to the body's ability to keep the internal chemical and physical environments constant. As your body begins to react to stress several changes occur. These changes include increased heart rate, blood pressure and secretion of stimulatory hormones. Ones body prepares itself in stressful situations to either stand ground and fight or to flee from the situation. Walter Cannon called this stressful reaction the fight-or-flight response (Greenberg, 2012).

  • Spiritual Formation: A Lifetime Journey

    1963 Words  | 4 Pages

    Spiritual formation is a process that morphs as we grow and change. There is no one singular correct path this type of journey takes because each journey is as individual as the person who is experiencing it. Most obvious, the journey will be different from those who identify as religious and those who do not and will diversify with in each category. For example, the spiritual journey a Buddhist takes will be different from that of a believer in Judaism or Christianity. In fact, the journey will continue to diversify between Christians, male and female, age groups, even by demographic location. Consequently, the spiritual formation process is as diverse as it is intricate and we may never be able to discover all the journey options. Although individuals may not actively recognize they are experiencing spiritual formation it is a process that affects all. Because it is in human nature to question, learn, grow, and act, everyone to a certain extent is exposed to a unique spiritual formation journey.

When the body is put under stress, physiological changes take place, such as increased heart rate or blood pressure. Many individuals do not know the extent to which stress can impact their bodies because they cannot see the changes taking place. If stress is prolonged, physical symptoms may begin to arise.
