Hello Zeba,

I just wanted to say that I enjoyed your Weebly submission for the Complementary Medicine assignment. Your group made clear the differences between male and female children and their experience and prevalence of anxiety. I was also encouraged that you were able to find so many videos and infographics on yoga specific to children. As a child of the late 60s-70s, I was exposed to yoga through my mother and feel that this practice is undersold in the childhood demographic, not only as it relates to management of anxiety, but childhood development generally.

I think a main heading indicating this section of your website is about complementary medicine for women and then introduce yoga and anxiety may be a more in keeping with the assignment requirement. In the interest of accuracy, you open with the thought that anxiety is a “coping mechanism”. I believe it is more of a symptom response to situations, both acute and chronic, that require coping mechanisms. You may wish to clarify this a little more. Also, on a technical note, literature and research is typically discussed in the past tense per APA style. So, the research “found” or “Researchers shared…” in the first paragraph. I might also say “female children” or just “girls [age range]” rather than “childhood girls” as the latter does not scan well.

Your inclusion of mindfulness is highly relevant with the practice of yoga. However, this concept seems to have been abruptly dropped into the conversation via video but not in the text. Perhaps a sentence explaining mindfulness would better prepare the viewer on what this is and how it integrates with yoga to benefit the anxious child?

Your headings are clear and relevant to your content and the ideas flow sequentially. I like your group’s use of strategies to reduce risk and disadvantages, rather than just listing disadvantages. Of course, it is always a pleasure to watch children giving their best efforts in videos, so these additions made reviewing your submission highly enjoyable.

Blog review: Conventional Medicine in Children

   Blog review: Conventional Medicine in Children This blog was very interesting to me as I had never heard of Turner Syndrome before. It was very informative and was very specific in how it affects female children, specifically. This review had all the elements such as the description of what Turner syndrome is as well as detailed information about growth hormone therapy. It was interesting to learn that hormone therapy can have several negative side of effects and disadvantages for this population, one being the slipping of the capital femoral epiphysis. All of the heading in this blog were added appropriately and the blog was organized in a way that was easy to read and clear. I did not spot any grammatical errors and the paragraphs were cohesive. I thought it was great how this group added pictures of how a child with Turner syndrome may look, and unique characteristics that could set them apart. The videos were appropriate for the topic and they also had a description und...
