Lynn Etheridge July 2011 Copyright S. Lynn Etheridge 2011 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT The involvement of Mental Health Professionals (MHPs) in cases of child sexual abuse (CSA) is complex and intimidating. There are legal rules and academic suggestions to guide the MHP in this endeavor, but in experience, these rules and suggestions are lacking. Current literature and research indicates that there is little if any direct knowledge on how judges perceive MHPs who testify before them in court. A qualitative phenomenological inquiry that directly interviewed five judges about their perceptions of MHPs in cases of CSA was undertaken.

  • Contents Biological, Legal and Social Definitions
    Child Biologically, a child (plural: children) is a human being between the stages of birth and puberty,[1][2] or between the developmental period of infancy and puberty.[3] The legal definition of child generally refers to a minor, otherwise known as a person younger than the age of majority.[1] Child may also describe a relationship with a parent (such as sons and daughters of any age)[4] or, metaphorically, an authority figure, or signify group membership in a clan, tribe, or religion; it can also signify being strongly affected by a specific time, place, or circumstance, as in "a child of nature" or "a child of the Sixties".[5] Contents Biological, legal and social definitions Development Health Age of responsibility Child mortality Education Attitudes toward children Emergencies and conflicts Gallery See also Sources References Biological, legal and social definitions Biologically, a child is a person between birth and puberty,[1][2] or the period of human development from infancy to puberty.[3] Legally, the term child may refer to anyone below the age of majority or some other age limit. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child defines child as "a human being below the age of 18 years unless under the law applicable to the child, majority is attained earlier".[6] This is ratified by 192 of 194 member countries. The term child may also refer to someone below another legally defined age limit unconnected to the Children playing ball games, Roman age of majority.

  • A Philosophical Consideration of Children's Participation in Elite Sport
    RIGHTS AND WRONGS: A PHILOSOPHICAL CONSIDERATION OF CHILDREN'S PARTICIPATION IN ELITE SPORT Gabriela Izabela Tymowski A thesis submitted to the University of Gloucestershire In accordance with the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Environment and Leisure Decem ber 2002 OXSTALLS LEARNING CENTRE UNIVERSITY OF GLOUCESTERSHIRE Oxstalls Lane Gloucester GL2 9HW ;l Tel: 01242 715100 I Abstract The experiences of some children participating in the demanding and intensive world of elite sport appear to compromise one of the primary aims of both childhood and parenthood, which should be for children to arrive on the threshold of adulthood with their futures open and unlimited. A body of evidence in the medical and socio-psychologicalliterature contends that child athletes participating in elite sport are being harmed physically, psychologically, and socially by the intensive training and competition practices required of athletes in sports such as women's gymnastics, figure skating, and others. Participation by children in the highest levels of sport change attitudes and impels behaviours in ways that are unique in their extent and devastating in their consequences. As the varying and often conflicting agendas of athletes, parents, coaches, agents, and sporting bureaucracies come into conflict, considerations of care and regard for the athletes become down played or even ignored, resulting in these young athletes being harmed, and their futures compromised. Children are characterised by their vulnerability, naivety, and inability to formulate their own life-plans, necessitating a degree of parental paternalism in their relationships with adults. This paternalism is justified by the child's dependency on others for protection, and for developing the necessary skills for self-sufficiency and self-determination secured through their burgeoning autonomy as they advance towards adulthood.

  • Youth Music Spotlighting Programme London Symphony Orchestra Discovery
    Youth Music Spotlighting Programme London Symphony Orchestra Discovery Susan Young University of Exeter June 2012 INTRODUCTION Youth Music’s Spotlighting Programme is a process for sharing effective practice. It aims to document effective practice from a wide variety of different sources, evaluate the impact and benefits and share more widely. Its ultimate aim is to raise standards of practice in the early childhood arts and education sectors by making good practice more visible. LSO Discovery, the London Symphony Orchestra’s community and music education programme has a long-standing early years strand and offers a range of opportunities in music for young children and their parents including weekly sessions, workshops and family concerts. LSO Discovery was invited to contribute to Youth Music Spotlighting by tracking early years work in a Children’s Centre in North London over one complete term. The Children’s Centre sessions were selected for spotlighting because they represent LSO’s work in the community and can be related to children’s centre work that many others are now doing across both arts and education sectors. What did we do? The Children’s Centre work consisted of two sessions led by Vanessa King, the LSO’s animateur who specialises in early childhood music. The first session was for mothers with their babies and toddlers and the second for three- to four- year-olds attending the nursery class. All the sessions were recorded on video and in written notes by a member of the LSO Discovery team. As evaluator, I attended three sessions to observe and write field notes and a final session was attended by a Alison Harmer, an expert film- maker who is also an early years music specialist.

  • Views and Definitions of Literacy
    Literate in Many Tongues: An Exploration of the Textual Practices in the Lives of Yemeni Women. By Khadeegha Alzouebi A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy At The University of Sheffield School of Education July, 2008 ABSTRACT This life history study explores the textual practices of four Yemeni women from Northtown, a town in the North of England. The study takes a social and ideological view of literacy, one that regards literacy as a social practice occurring within 'webs of people and institutions' (Barton, Hamilton and Ivanic, 2000: 14). It explores the ways in which literacy and language practices are linked to the womens' lives, social worlds and to their narratives. I have used life history methods that draw from feminism, critical theory, post-modernism and post-colonialism to co-construct the informants' stories. This investigation models a research method that grows out of a feminist approach of reframing power relationships, knowledge construction and individual experiences. I have used narrative inquiry as the process for this research, to enable the distinctive voices of the women to emerge from the research data and for their individual stories to be crafted. The findings illustrate that Yemeni womens' engagement with literacy shapes not only their own identities, but also the characters of the social relationships and social institutions of which they are a part. The womens' use of reading and writing in everyday life are dynamic and constantly being reconfigured. Their literacy worlds are linked to the social and cultural ways in which they construct and reconstruct language and literacy.

  • Stages and Transitions in Children's Semiotic Development Jordan Zlatev
    STAGES AND TRANSITIONS IN CHILDREN’S SEMIOTIC DEVELOPMENT JORDAN ZLATEV AND MATS ANDRÉN Abstract. Stage models were prevalent in developmental psychology in the past, but have recently been subjected to much criticism. We propose “rehabilitation”, defining semiotic stage as a (not necessarily stable) period characterized by the clear establishment of a novel semiotic capacity, which may “dominate” the communication of the child at this stage, but does not replace capacities from previous stages. This is spelled out by adopting one particular model of semiotic development – the Mimesis Hierarchy (Zlatev 2008a, 2008b) – and presenting comparative and developmental data from 6 children in Sweden and Thailand, between 18 and 27 months of age, analyzing their acts of bodily communication (ABCs) in relation to their emerging linguistic capacities. The results show evidence for a transition around 20 months, when children display the use of (stable) signs, shared with their community, in both the linguistic and gestural modalities, but do not yet systematically combine them. Only towards the end of the period under study does this begin to occur on a more routine basis. Implications are drawn for the continuous debate on “insight” vs. gradual development in ontogeny, suggesting a compromise. Introduction The concept of developmental stage played a central role in nearly all the classic theories of cognitive, emotional, and moral development of the past century, such as those of Montessori, Piaget, Kohlberg, Freud, Erikson and Vygotsky.
