He seemed like the best option because I could get close to him to do any of the items that I would put out or would play a game to do some of the things with him. The ways I had gotten him to do some of the activities when we where outside and playing baseball and another time was when he and another child were sitting down playing.

Psychoanalytic perspective is the theory of personality developed by Freud that focuses on repression and unconscious forces and includes the concepts of infantile sexuality, resistance, transference, and division of the psyche into the Id, ego, and superego.

    Working with different children that range from different ages is something that I have been able to do in the past well taking other child development classes but this semester well I was taking ECH 320 I was able to get the knowledge of what it might be working with an infant all the way to a child that is eight years old.
