I first picked up Highly Illogical Behavior at the recommendation of Mrs. Bock. I had never read a book with a protagonist who had a mental illness that was present in the behavior and the overall plot proceedings throughout the novel. I usually tend to stay within the genres that I am familiar with - romance and realistic fiction. Most of the books that I read are about how a man and a woman fall in love in spite of emotional and physical strife. Highly Illogical Behavior, however, was about a man who had such severe social anxiety that he developed agoraphobia, thus rendering him incapable of leaving his house.…
For this extended assignment I have chosen to look at how behaviour may affect children's or young people's development. Negative behaviour can be seen when the children's and young people's needs are not being met such as lack of sleep and when they are hungry. Difficult behaviour can be caused by a trauma or a crisis that has happened in the child's life. Children may show this kind of behaviour because they want to be the centre of attention or if they are not getting their own way and they may behave inappropriately in order to get their own way. Other examples that could affect children's behaviour include if a member of the family in the child's life such as mother or father has left and they may think that it's their fault .Also…

Education is a very crucial part to a child’s overall growth and development.…
As a child grows older, the child will always be watching every move their mother or father makes. In return, the child will mimic these behaviors by the process called, observational learning. For example, if an infant is not punished for doing a bad thing(s), such as pulling the dog 's tail or fighting over a toy, the infant will continue to do these bad things, assuming that it is the right thing because they are told no different. A child relies on a caregiver from the moment they are born. They must be tended to at all times with comfort so that they feel safe.…
Copple and Bredekamp (2006) explain this idea of DAP and encourage teachers to meet learners’ physical, emotional, social and cognitive development and their characteristics as well as identify goals for children which are challenging but achievable. Bodrova and Leong (2007) consider the concept of developmentally appropriate to encompass things children can learn and goals that they can achieve with assistance. The most effective learning is to aim at a higher level of a child’s ZPD. Therefore, teachers are recommended to provide activities, which are beyond what children can do on their own and what they can do with assistance. In this way, both teaching and learning proceed ahead of children’s status all the time.…
