In Brandon and Kimberly I saw issues with addiction, teratogens, stress and temperament. In Jack, I found issues within his social and physical development. Within these issues, I found that all of these issues are of concern in regard to the well being of the family.…
John Pena 3-3-16 Theorist Project There have been many theories on child development, each with their own unique focus. Child development theories focus on explaining how children change and grow over the course of childhood.

Theories and Theorists From first steps, first words and more all children go through similar stages of development. Many theorists have studied these developmental milestones, and put them into broad stages of development, which many children go through during certain time frames. Jean Piaget, one of the most well known child development theorist, formed the Cognitive Development Theory which has helped educators to understand a child’s cognitive abilities from birth to early adolescence. Jean Piaget disagreed with behavioral theorists who believed that a child’s learning depended on reinforcers. He believed that a child’s learning is active, which was the foundation of his Cognitive Development Theory.…
Developmental Tasks As new medical developments are made elders are living to much later points in life, which means the population of these individuals is and will continue to increase. The changes that occur in the human body that come along with age can make simple life tasks much more difficult. Some adapt well to the aging process while some face challenges. Erik Erikson has a stage that pertains to older adult life.…
Researches and many child development theorists suggests play to be an increasingly more varied and complex activity with significant influence on the physical, cognitive and social development of children (Kearns 2010). A balance between both types of play, structured and unstructured, can significantly benefit children in their development. Children attempt achieving pre-existing objectives set by an adult in structured play while establishing their own objectives in free/unstructured play (Pettersen 2013). Many researches have shown play to enhance children 's motor skills along with their physical well-being (Kearns 2010). In addition, many experiments conducted suggests that group play facilitate development of basic social skills including understanding and taking others ' perspectives into…

Self-evaluation levels of children who wet the bed aged six to fifteen, were compared to those of their peers and to those of their parents. Results showed that enuresis children compared themselves no differently to their peers, but parents of children who wet the bed reported psychosocial difficulties in their children, suggesting that more communication between children and parents is needed with an importance in discussions that promote encouragement and positive reinforcement of self-esteem, highlighting that this can help promote an earlier decline in bed-wetting, Brent, Thompson, Yu-Jun,Kuo-Hsuan (2015). From this evidence, the claim from the article about the significance of bed-wetting and future well-being is only somewhat supported…

Assignment 1 From reviewing and skimming through the syllabus and book the three items that I find the most interesting is Early childhood education as a profession, Health, Safety, and Communicating with Young children, and Modeling adult relationships in early childhood settings.

When it comes to working with children you have to be patient, nurturing, you must abide by certain rules in the work place as well as state laws. The text put this topic first because it gives details about what it means to be an early childhood educator, it talks…
