Children develop at unique rates. The child for this paper is three years old and lives with both of her parents. The goal of this paper will be to approximate her development. There are many aspects of development; this paper will be focusing on Erickson’s psychosocial stages, Piaget’s stage theory, and her level of physical development. This particular child lives with both of her parents. The subject is three years old and is an only child. The subject is with her mother the most; the mother works two, three and a half days a week and brings the child with her to work, all other times she is home with the child.

(Weiten, 2014) In stage three of Kohlberg’s theory a child starts to grasp right and wrong based on the reactions of people around them. Kohlberg would place the child in the second level of development, the conventional level, which means they have begun to relate reasoning with morality. (Weiten, 2014) The individual has begun demonstrating the knowledge of right or wrong internally. She will display remorse after being scolded by an authority figure. The child has begun to seek reactions from those around her to figure out right and wrong.

(Weiten, 2014) According to Erikson’s stage theory, stage two is when the child will begin potty-training and the child will begin to be self-sufficient. Stage three is from ages four to six and is when a child learns to function in the family setting and where they stand. In this stage, the child will start to become self-confident (Weiten, 2014). This individual has progressed from stage two to stage three at about three years of age. She is currently in stage three, though with her father’s increased aggressiveness her progress has slowed immensely. Observation of the child has shown her withdrawing from her father and apologizing to any one for anything, even if it wasn’t her fault. This has shown to hinder her progress, even with increased efforts from her
