3 Autonomy vs. Shame & Doubt
Erikson’s Theory Autonomy vs. Shame & Doubt Child is increasingly independent in many spheres of life Shown by controlling body excretions, saying “no” when asked to do something, and directing motor activity

4 Erikson’s Theory Autonomy vs. Shame & Doubt
Nursing Implications Child who is consistently criticized for expression of autonomy or lack of control (such as during toilet training) will develop a sense of shame in themselves and doubt in their abilities . Support autonomy during hospitalization.

5 Erikson’s Theory Autonomy vs. Shame & Doubt
Nursing Implications Allow self feeding activities Independence in brushing teeth Independence in removing and putting on clothes

6 Freud’s Theory Anal Stage
Child derives gratification from control over bodily excretions The young child’s pleasure is centered in the anal area

7 Freud- Anal Stage Nursing Implications Admission History: Ask about
toilet training and the toddler’s ritual and words for elimination Intervention: Continue toddler’s normal patterns of elimination

8 Nursing Implications cont.
Freud- Anal Stage Nursing Implications cont. Accept possible regression in potty training during hospitalization Do not begin toilet training during illness or hospitalization Potty seats should be available in hospital

9 Physical Growth & Development
Slow period of growth Weight gain of 4-9 lbs (2-4 kg) over 2 years 1 year old: birth weight triples

10 Physical Growth & Development
2 years old: child is roughly half of their adult height Pot-bellied appearance and stands with feed apart to provide a wide base of support

11 Motor Ability Development 1-2 years
Fine Motor Ability Builds a tower of 4 blocks Scribbles on paper Can undress self Throws a ball Gross Motor Ability Walks by 15 months Climb stairs by 21 months Runs by 2 years

12 Motor Ability Development 2-3 years
Fine Motor Ability Draws a circle Learns to pour Can dress self Gross Motor Ability Jumps Kicks ball Throw ball overhead

13 Diet & Nutrition Decreased appetite Encourage 3 nutritious meals &
2 healthy snacks per day At 12 months switch from formula or breast milk to whole milk

14 Diet & Nutrition Avoid foods small in size due to choking hazard
Allow toddlers to feed themselves to promote autonomy. Ex: finger foods

15 Diet & Nutrition What is an appropriate food item for a toddler?
Peanuts Grapes Hot dog Thinly sliced fruit

16 Diet & Nutrition Answer: Thinly sliced fruit Healthy snack
Not a choking hazard Choking hazardous food items: Hot dogs, peanuts, grapes, nuts, dried beans, and candy

17 Cognitive Development
Child moves from sensorimotor to preoperational stage of development through interactions with the environment Understands object permanence By age 2, toddlers use two- to three-word phases and comprehends many more words

18 Cognitive Development
Exhibits magical thinking The belief that events occur because of one’s thoughts or actions Example: Three-year-old Sally, who is hospitalized for treatment of a brain tumor, tells her nurse that she got sick because she was a bad girl.

19 Psychosocial Development
Toddler is egocentric Separation anxiety continues to be present from late infancy The parent who is leaving should say so and should promise to return

20 Psychosocial Development
Sleep issues are common problems due to separation anxiety and fear of dark Nursing Intervention: Provide transitional objects (special blanket or stuffed animal)

21 Play Toddlers have better motor skills and begin to find other children fun to be around. During toddlerhood, it is all about “ME” so concepts like sharing have not yet developed. A toddler’s favorite words are usually “no” and “mine.”

22 Play Parallel play Most toddlers play in tandem or side by side.
Enjoy playing near other children, but not engaging in social interaction with each other

23 Parallel Play

24 Appropriate Toys Wooden puzzles Blocks Cloth books
Imitation activities: kitchen set; using a toy telephone; push and pull vacuum Tricycle Ball

25 Toddler- Vital signs Heart Rate (beats/min): 75-130
Respiratory Rate (breaths/min): 25-35 Blood Pressure: Systolic (mmHG): Diastolic (mmHG): 56-68

26 Procedure Preparations
Nursing Interventions: Use their own words Explain procedure immediately before it happens Be honest Realize that you may not get their cooperation (restraint will be needed). Reward after procedure.

27 Nursing Care for Toddlers
To promote autonomy, let the toddler perform developmentally appropriate tasks independently and praise success Provide choices when possible Avoid separation from parents; keep parents in child’s line of vision Slow to warm up so allow time to get acquainted and talk in a friendly voice

28 Nursing Care for Toddlers
Walking, climbing, and running are motor skills developed so remember crib safety Keep crib rails up at all times to prevent falls
