When I was pregnant with all my children I would be filled with anticipation with what will they look like and who will they be with they grow up. But the sad part of this anticipation is wishing past every stage of their development to see the adult they will become. I often wonder if my mom thought the same things when she was pregnant with me and I wonder if she likes what she sees now that I am an…
Introduction: Child development involves emotional, physical, sociable, and intellect changes over a period from conception through adolescence. Childhood is a multifaceted process in which many changes occur. To fully understand the changes throughout childhood, one interview and observation was conducted to a toddler perspective, and a second interview and observation was implemented on a school-age child. Vast changes arise from infancy and toddlerhood, jumping to later childhood, and that was deceptive when comparing the outcomes from the two observations. Alex, who is eight years old, was the topic of the school-age child interview and observation.…

In the article “How do you learn to walk? Thousands of steps and dozens of falls per day”, experimental research was done to find an answer to how infants learn to walk. Previous research was conducted on this topic, but it did not show anything about how much or how far infants walk, how often they fall, what makes them continue walking after falling, and how these abilities change with development. Researchers have simply focused on the structure of postures from a crawling to an upright walking position and the regular steps of infants on open grounds where they have to use natural locomotion, or the natural ability to move. This process is known as periodic gait.…

Using the stimulation of My Virtual Child I could find out how my parental style started and grew as I found out more about the child as he aged through the program. It made me think about my parental sensitivity, and how it changed drastically in the first two years of the child’s life. If I were to describe it at the beginning, it was difficult because all I seemed to do was be around the child and coddle him at any chance that I got. I gave him most if not all my attention. This got to a point around the 5-month mark where he started to prefer me over my partner.…
Observational Study of Infant and Caregiver An observational study is a form of naturalistic observation, “in which some naturally occurring behavior is observed without intervention in the situation” (Feldman, R.S., 2015, p. 27). On September 26th, 2016, an observer secretly watched a young, African American mother and her nine month old, female infant at the chain store BuyBuyBaby in Central Park, Fredericksburg, Virginia. For about an hour, from 15:00 to 16:00, the observer followed this mother and child throughout the store.…
Ethological theory emphases on the effect of the environment on development and on how, throughout the lifetime, awareness to the environment varies. They form on the stage-based ethics of psychoanalytic and cognitive theories. Relatively ‘sensitive periods’ are focused instead of age-based developmental stages. Attachment theory is the well identified ethological perspective based on early human bonding behaviour. John Bowlby, attachment theory is predominantly based on ethological theory, evolutionary theory and psychoanalytic theory.…

The relation of the parent and children is the mixture of behavior, feelings and expectations. The parent-child relationship is a extent of a child’s development. There are many relations in the world but the relation of parent and child is different from other and this relationship is also very important. The parent-children relation can be affected by the age of parents, their self-confidence, behavior, experience,stability of the parent’s marriage, their experiences. If a child has good qualities it is because of the…

Throughout this hour I took note on his level of social, emotional, and physical development in order to determine his chronological age.…
