Early Childhood Care

Infant - a human child from birth (see newborn INFANT) to the end of the first year of life.
Emotional and physical needs at this time include love and security, a sense of trust,
warmth and comfort, feeding, and sucking pleasure.

Children -. Refers of group individual child

To most individuals, diarrhea means an increased frequency or decreased consistency of bowel

movements; however, the medical definition is more exact than this.

A fever is a temporary increase in your body temperature, often due to an illness. Having a fever
is a sign that something out of the ordinary is going on in your body.

For an adult, a fever may be uncomfortable, but usually isn't a cause for concern unless it reaches
103 F (39.4 C) or higher. For infants and toddlers, a slightly elevated temperature may indicate a
serious infection.

Dengue fever is transmitted by the bite of an Aedes mosquito infected with a dengue virus. The
mosquito becomes infected when it bites a person with dengue virus in their blood. It cant be
spread directly from one person to another person.

Symptoms, which usually begin four to six days after infection and last for up to 10 days, may
include

Sudden, high fever

 Severe headaches
Pain behind the eyes
Severe joint and muscle pain
Fatigue
Nausea
Vomiting
Skin rash, which appears two to five days after the onset of fever
Mild bleeding (such a nose bleed, bleeding gums, or easy bruising)

Dengue hemorrhagic fever can occur when someone is bitten by a mosquito or exposed to
blood infected with the dengue virus. Infected mosquitoes are the most common causes.

There are four different types of the dengue virus. Once you are infected with one of the viruses,
you develop immunity to that virus for the rest of your life. However, this immunity will not
protect you from the other viruses. It is possible to be infected with all four different types of the
dengue virus in your lifetime.

The goal of treatment is to manage symptoms and keep the infection from becoming more
severe. Severe cases may need emergency treatments such as:

hydration with intravenous (IV) fluids

over-the-counter or prescription drugs to manage pain
electrolyte therapy
blood transfusions
careful monitoring of blood pressure
oxygen therapy
skilled nursing observation

Complications/Risk factors from severe or acute dengue hemorrhagic fever may include:

seizures
brain damage
blood clots
damage to the liver and lungs
heart damage
shock
death

1. Family planning - simply put, is the practice of controlling the number of children in a
family and the intervals between their births, particularly by means of artificial
contraception or voluntary sterilization. Because "family" is included in the concept's
name, consideration of a couple's desire to bear children.

2. Population- a body of persons or individuals having a quality or characteristic in

common (1): the organisms inhabiting a particular locality (2): a group of interbreeding
organisms that represents the level of organization at which speciation begins.

3. Demography - the statistical study of human populations especially with reference to

size and density, distribution, and vital statistics.

4. Fertility is the natural capability to produce offspring. As a measure, fertility rate is the
number of offspring born per mating pair, individual or population. Fertility differs from
fecundity, which is defined as the potential for reproduction (influenced by gamete
production, fertilization and carrying a pregnancy to term).

5. Migration is a movement to another place, often of a large group of people or animals.

6. Responsible Parenthood as defined in the Directional Plan of POPCOM, is the will and
ability of parents to respond to the needs and aspirations of the family and children. It is
 a shared responsibility of the husband and the wife to determine and achieve the desired
number, spacing, and timing of their children according to their own family life
aspirations, taking into account psychological preparedness, health status, socio-cultural,
and economic concerns.

7. Reproductive health implies that people are able to have a responsible, satisfying and
safer sex life and that they have the capability to reproduce and the freedom to decide if,
when and how often to do so. One interpretation of this implies that men and women
ought to be informed of and to have access to safe, effective, affordable and acceptable
methods of birth control; also access to appropriate health care services of sexual,
reproductive medicine and implementation of health education programs to stress the
importance of women to go safely through pregnancy and childbirth could provide
couples with the best chance of having a healthy infant.

Phil. Population Program

The objectives of the PPMP are:

Help couples/parents exercise responsible parenting to achieve the desired number,

timing, and spacing of children and to contribute in improving maternal, neonatal and
child health, and nutrition (MNCHN) status;
Help adolescents and youth avoid pre-marital sex, teenage pregnancies, early marriages,
sexuality transmitted infections and other psycho-social concerns; and
Contribute to policies, plans and programs that will assist government to attain
population growth and distribution consistent with economic activities and sustainable
development.

Policies

1. The central idea of the program is responsible parenthood. It is oriented towards the
overall improvement of family well-being; it is not concerned with just fertility reduction. It
views family welfare, including that of the individual welfare, as the central objective of the
national development program. Thus, the program promotes family development and
responsible parenting. It believes that parenting and raising a family is a shared responsibility
of the husband and the wife.

2. The program is non-coercive. It respects the rights of couples to determine the size of their
family and choose voluntarily the means to do so in accordance with their moral convictions
and religious beliefs, and cultural mores and norms. It believes in informed choice.

3. The program rejects abortion as a means to control fertility. Abortion is illegal and the
program will never consider it as a family planning method.
 4. The program promotes self-reliance and multi-sectoral participation. It gives priority to
projects that are self-sustaining and with community participation. It encourages
coordinative and participative approaches through the participation of Local Government
Units and Non-Government Organizations and other critical stakeholders.

5. The program adheres to gender equality and equity which is non-discriminatory in all
political, social, and economic development concerns.

Program

The legal basis of the Philippine Population Program is Republic Act 6365, otherwise known as
the Population Act of 1971. It created the Commission on Population (POPCOM). It was
amended in 1972 by Presidential Decree No. 79.

As mentioned in PD 79, the tandem of Responsible Parenthood and Family Planning is the basic
program of the Philippine Population Program (PPP). The PPP was later renamed the Philippine
Population Management Program (PPMP).

Population profile of

1. World

The Data Sheets midcentury population projections indicate that:

The combined population of the worlds least developed countries in the world will
double by 2050 to 1.9 billion. There are 48 least developed countries, based on United
Nations criteria, most of which are in Africa.
The population in 29 countries wills more than double. Nearly all of these countries are in
Africa.
 Forty-two countries will register population declines. These countries are scattered
throughout Asia, Latin America, and Europe. Some European countries will post
significant declines, such as Romania, which is projected to have a population of 14
million in 2050, down from 20 million today.
The population of the United States will be 398 million, up 23 percent from 324 million
today.

Population 102,624,209 (July 2016 est.)

Age structure 0-14 years: 33.71% (male 17,652,419/female 16,943,261)

15-24 years: 19.17% (male 10,042,520/female 9,629,762)

25-54 years: 36.86% (male 19,204,977/female 18,618,333)

Factors influence the Population growth.

There are two factors that result in an increase in the size of a population. First, there is natality,
which is the number of individuals that are added to a population over a period of time due to
reproduction. This term is often used to describe reproductive rates over a variety of time
periods.

The term most commonly used when describing natality in the human population is 'birth rate'.
Birth rate is the number of individuals born per 1,000 individuals per year. An example of birth
rate would be if a population of 5,000 people resulted in the birth of 50 children in a year, which
would yield a birth rate of ten individuals per 1,000 per year. Birth rate is often reported as a
percentage of the population. In 2010, the birth rate in the United States was 1.38%, which is
considerably lower than the birth rate in many developing countries. For example, in 2010, the
birth rate in Ethiopia was 4.34%. Birth rates can vary a great deal by region and can have drastic
effects on the overall human population.

The second factor that can cause a rise in a population is immigration. Immigration is the
migration of an individual into a place. When an individual immigrates to a new location, they
increase the population within that area. Immigration is a factor that can influence the size of a
specific population of humans, but does not influence the overall human population.
Effects of rapid Population growth

Education. Rapid population growth in rural areas has confronted rural

communities and particularly rural educational systems with a number of
problems. Sudden, large increases in students crowd school facilities and strain
budgets. The different values, attitudes, and orientations toward education of the
newcomers act as a catalyst for changes and can cause conflict within the
community

Employment. The labor markets absorbed a large population increase, with per
worker incomes rising and shifts occurring in the labor force distribution toward
more productive sectors of the economy. Overall, the experiences of the 1960-80
periods provide little support for either the optimistic view that rapid population
growth promotes development or the pessimistic view that it necessarily hinders
development. The "neutralist" view that population growth has had little net
association with economic development seems to be the most sensible conclusion
to draw from the evidence, though, of course, economic growth per capita might
have been faster under slower population growth.

Housing. Rapid population growth rates coupled with low levels of economic
development in developing countries have created among others immense
obstacles to the provision of adequate housing to the majority of residents.
Population growth rates are growing faster than the provision of new housing and
housing infrastructure. This has resulted in intensive usage of the existing stock of
housing and deterioration of housing environments. Some of the manifestations of
housing and residential land use intensification are increasing room occupancy
levels, insitu housing adjustments involving physical changes in housing space
and housing space conversions.

Health and facilities. The rate of population growth affects long-range planning
of community health and medical facilities. Alterations in age composition,
internal migration of racial or industrial groups, changes in population density and
urban-rural movement require current adaptation of the health program to solve
the new problems thus created. Under the terms of the Social Security Act, a
limited expansion of activities designed to promote the health of older adults
control of cancer and pneumonia, and industrial hygiene serviceshas been made
possible in the cooperating States. However, the Act makes no provision for the
solution of such fundamental problems as invalidity insurance and medical care of
 the aged. During the past five years, the health aspects of old age have received
increasing attention in the discussions of public health administrators. It therefore
seems appropriate to resurvey this general problem, and to consider, in particular,
the nature of future trends in mortality, morbidity, and the receipt of medical care
which may be expected solely as a result of changing age structure of the
population.

Environment.

1. Generation of Waste:

Due to his destructive activities, man has dumped more and more waste in
environment. As the man-made waste is not transformed, it causes degradation
and the capacity of environment to absorb more waste is reduced. Further, waste
leads to air and water pollution.

2. Threat to Biodiversity:

Due to his destructive activities, man has extracted more and more minerals from
the earth. Animals have been hunted and plants have disappeared. There has been
loss of biodiversity. These have led to ecological imbalance.

3. Strain on Forests:

Man has established new housing colonies. National highways and hydropower
projects have been built and forests have been wiped out. These destructive
activities have increased and led to ecological imbalance.

4. Urbanization:

Rapid growth of population has led to urbanization which has adversely affected
environment. Due to population pressure, natural resources in the cities are
depleted at a fast rate due to population pressure.

Benefits of using Family Planning

Family planning provides many benefits to mother, children, father, and the family.

Mother
 Enables her to regain her health after delivery.
Gives enough time and opportunity to love and provide attention to her husband and
children.
Gives more time for her family and own personal advancement.
When suffering from an illness, gives enough time for treatment and recovery.

Children

Healthy mothers produce healthy children.

Will get all the attention, security, love, and care they deserve.

Father

Lightens the burden and responsibility in supporting his family.

Enables him to give his children their basic needs (food, shelter, education, and better
future).
Gives him time for his family and own personal advancement.
When suffering from an illness, gives enough time for treatment and recovery
