    Blog review: Childhood I really enjoyed reading this website section. All of the elements were provided and appropriately organized. It was easily to follow and read due to all of the headings and subheadings that were use to clarify the sections. I did not find any grammatical or spelling issues in this section. One thing that I really appreciated was the chart on food safety in children. I have a baby myself and that is one thing that I look out for everyday. I am learning as I go and I feel like is such a great resource to provide to parents of young children. Before my baby was born, I had no idea about several risk factors in children when it came to food. I am glad I was provided the adequate resources to learn how to provide food safety to avoid the risk of chocking.  In this section, the writing style was clear and the sentences were cohesive. They adequately discussed the topics and provided proper citation of their research articles. The only feedback I have...

I decided to review adolescence's interplay of body image and nutrition. I was highly impressed with the graphics, information, and videos chosen to educate their audience. I do think the videos could have been shorter; but still, great information and valuable insights. I appreciate social media being mentioned as it has become increasingly worrisome how much power it has over young girls. I agree that advertisements and unrealistic examples of what their bodies “should look like” influence girls provoking related psychiatric illnesses. I also enjoyed the ‘Plan of Action’ having specific systems and people in place for adolescent females can change their perspective and allow them to deal and cope with the pressures of meeting unrealistic body standards. I think some of the information presented could be condensed into smaller paragraphs. Although, I do believe it would be hard to condense all the information presented as it is all relevant and important context related to the top...

Hi Marilyn! Thank you and your group for the information presented on the website page regarding adolescent psychosocial and emotional aspects.  Beautiful aesthetics of this page are clean and inviting for the reader.  Discussion of female development and well-being through complex social dynamics was well rounded and thorough.  I would love to hear more about the attitudes toward gender roles in society, as far as why there are limiting factors for female goals and career choices. I feel the media used in this section is relevant and relatable to the topic.  Placement of media is well thought out.  Headings and subheadings are visible and well placed.  The last sentence in the first paragraph under social factors is a strong sentence, although uses a repeat descriptor.  There are no grammatical errors and the information is fluid with easy to grasp concepts for young audiences and for basic knowledge for healthcare providers.  The video for The A...

  The age group I am providing feedback on is the Adolescence section. I thought this section was well organized and appealing to myself as an occupational therapist. This group was about to cohesively include the psychological, social, and emotional fact ors as it relates to the adolescence age group. I am glad they included ACE s or Adverse childhood experiences as they strongly shape a child’s psychological development. I was surprised to see that girls experience more adverse childhood experiences than boys . The social determinates section was great and, in my opinion, very accurate with society as it is today. This group did a great job of presenting the topics with pictures and videos that match the subject matter. Overall, I was able to conclude that negative im plications whether mental, social, or emotion al could negatively impact the health and wellness of girls in this age group.  The theme was consistent throughout the webpage and I enjoyed reviewing this s...

Thank you for your contribution to this clear and informative educational website submission. I was particularly stricken by your group’s use of short yet information-packed visuals, videos, and infographics alike. Starting out with “Understanding the Normal Aging Process” was an excellent way to introduce your topic. This set the stage for a baseline upon which to compare later pathology and gender differences in health. While the written content was concise and informative, may I suggest a larger font? The amount of visual information on these educational websites can be hard on the eyes, and a larger font could improve the absorption of the information. I am almost 59 years old and wear reading glasses, so I feel this would greatly assist the target audience. The content talks about statements of health differences between genders but sometimes omits how these differences affect women. More clarification here may be helpful. For example, the site talks about “a higher percentage o...

I decided to provide feedback to the group that created the section for 'Childhood Psychosocial Female Mind'. I particularly enjoyed all the images and videos used on this website. All the images provide very useful and vital information. Although both videos were informative and visually appealing, I would have liked the videos to be more geared toward girls’ emotions and their ability to control, or lack thereof. I also appreciated that there are descriptive sentences below every image, next to the citation. Some pictures had low resolution which made it a little bit difficult to read the information provided. This is very helpful and will be applying it on the next website’s assignment. I would have liked a few more sentences in the last section on how social, psychological, and emotional factors connect and influence the childhood psychosocial female mind. I feel like the ‘emotions’ paragraph had the potential for more information. It was really interesting to learn about t...
