Positive parenting can have good effects on a child’s autonomy and independence. Parents who support autonomy are involved in a child’s life of course, but they encourage independence and it is important for them to give a child both age-appropriate autonomy and agency. By doing so, they help them learn about family values and social norms. This can have effects such as greater emotional well-being of a child or developing at an appropriate level.

A vision screening is an eye test that looks for potential vision problems and eye disorders. If detected early, they can be treated. Also, eye tests can detect early signs of serious health problems such as high blood pressure or risk of stroke and diabetes. A hearing screening is a test that examines how well you hear different sounds. Problems with hearing can affect the balance in your inner ear and your awareness of hazards in your environment. So both, vision or hearing problems, can increase your risk of falling. Checking regularly and looking after your vision and hearing, can prevent falling.

Vision or hearing can increase your risk of falling, and screenings could detect the problem early enough to deal with those problems properly.
Exercise 7
Step 1

In early childhood children start to develop a sense of autonomy. They are learning new things and learning to play as part of a group. During middle and late childhood children gain greater control over their bodies, and they master many gross and fine motor skills. Rate of growth slows during these stages because of changes in the brain. In middle childhood they learn to initiate play rather than following the lead of others and start learning about emotions. In late childhood school becomes an important part of their lives. It expands their world beyond the boundaries of their own family and brings obligations. They learn how to get along with their peers who start to take center-stage in their lives. Peers acceptance could have consequences for their emotional development.
