====**FOCUS QUESTION: How do you think dangers like alcohol or drugs could the influence development certain stages? I think alcohol and or drugs can really influence development at certain stages in a negative way, everything the mother drinks or eats gets passed on to the baby, the mother is the control system in this situation and since drugs and alcohol are not healthy there is a possibility it can danger the health and well being of the baby. (Briana Cicero)**====

I think dangers like alcohol and drugs can really influence the development at certain stages in a bad way because what every you eat or drink is getting passed on to the baby. So if the mother is consuming drugs and alcohol then that is what the baby is consuming and that can cause internal damage to the baby. ( Sanniyyah Blackwell )

Alcohol and drugs have a very large affect on the baby. Drugs and alcohol can cause the babies mental growth to slow or even give the baby health problems when it's born and even possibly their entire lifetime. Drugs and alcohol could even cause death in some cases. Being healthy and not drinking or doing drugs helps the baby to be healthy and have less problems in the future. (Jessica Kreiser)

Lucas lives with his mom and dad in a house in the country. His father is a train engineer and spends a few days a week on the rails while his mother stays at home as a housewife. Their house sits on a large plot of land surrounded by woods on one side and a cornfield on the other. They have neighbors but only on one side and across the street. They also have many pets, two dogs, three cats, and some fish. Lucas is presently the only child but that will be changing in a few months, as his mother is pregnant and due at the end of July. He loves trains, animals, ice tea, and being inside and outside of his house. His favorite movie is the Polar Express.

When Lucas was three, he broke his first bone. He broke his right arm during the spring while playing in the woods behind his house with his dogs. Having a cast on his arm only slowed him down and kept him out of the water, but other than that nothing changed. I have witnessed Lucas running or jumping many times whether it be running to tackle someone when rough housing, jumping on the trampoline, or both when he is playing with his second cousin who is just a few months older.

Lucas was child who needed and wanted to be with his mother and would cry or search for her as soon as she left his sight. Similarly, however, he can/will lose complete control of his temper and lash out violently to those around him. The fact that he loses his temper and becomes mean may have to do with Lucas becoming frustrated and feeling he has no options but because he is acting violently this could develop into a big problem.

I primarily just watched him inside his house: inside because it always seemed to be either too cold or rainy when I would visit. I observed him primarily in the afternoons between one and four o’clock.

Student Observations to focus question (5pnts)
==Lucas gets upset and or angry and violent when his mother is not right there with him. It seems like he may even be jealous over the new baby coming into the family and will act out of anger for attention from his mother. This seems to happen a lot during mid-day or evening. (Briana Cicero)==
