Consequences of Stress on Children's Development As a child, I experienced two blood-thirsty wars. The first was the war of 1986, a civil war in Yemen over who got to rule. It lasted 20 days, and was very frightening because planes and RPG’s would send missiles everywhere. Furthermore, it was never clear who was on which side of the war due to spies and mistrust. The biggest issue of the war was the lack of water, as we had no water and neither did anyone in the country at the time. The second war was that of 1994, which took place in Yemen; it was the north of Yemen against the inhabitants of the south. Raids from the north would drop bombs, missiles, and explosives down. This shattered our living residence many times, as our glass windows all broke and live bullets came into the windows many times. I was extremely scared in both wars, as I had no idea what war truly was or for what reason it was fought. We could never lie in peace without hearing bullets or feel their impact...

Access to healthy water Access to healthy water is vital to human life itself; so the impact it has on a developing child is of immeasurable size. In fact, a child with no access to healthy water will no doubt become sick. Once the body is troubled with an unhealthy source of water, it will lack the nutrients required for other organs such as the kidney, heart, and brain. Once these deductions become a problem, signals are sent to the brain to help dissolve these problems. However, if the brain is not able to focus on learning and development, the child will constantly fall behind in development and in other categories such as motor skills. An example of this comes from the country of Yemen, where fresh water is extremely scarce. In fact, only about 25% of the population has access to clean water; this means that child development is a huge struggle within the country. Although the conservative culture of the country inspires its children to be tough and to pursue education no m...
Childbirth in Your Life and Around the World On Thursday, February 21, 2002, at the United Arab Emirates. I was cleaning at home and completing chores. I started to feel the pain and the contraction. It was 12pm. My family took me to the hospital; the doctor said “Hanadi just dilated one centimeter” which meant I still needed more time to be ready to give birth. I felt triple and painful. The more the time passed, the more I feel painful. It passed six hours and I just dilated 2 centimeters. The hospital used the British method; which means they don’t give the shot to help to make the contractions come faster and take away the pain. The nurses took me to the bathtub that is filled with warm water to relax and to get more contraction. After three hours I dilated 3 centimeters. After nine hours at the hospital, the nurse decides to take me for a walk in the hospital’s corridors. I was exhausted, super tired and crying. All night I was crying and in pain. The nurses were just sitting...
