This information stood out to me in the childhood developmental period because I think that these are things that older people do not put much thought about because it something that seems natural to us. Older people know that everyone has their own thoughts, understand constancy of physical characteristics when appearances changes and are able to categorize things. Parents and people who work with work with younger children, such as teachers, need to be aware that younger children have limitations in preoperational thoughts because it will help them understand why they think the way they do. Especially, when teachers and parents are getting frustrated with them because they keep stating their perspective or they are not able to understand

    Two developmental milestones that I have faced during my twenty-two years of life, thus far, are beginning college and ending college. Starting college in particular was a developmental milestone because it was different than anything I have ever experienced and for my family to experience as well. I am the first generation in my family to attend college. Both of my parents went straight into the work force after they graduated high school, and were not encouraged by their parents to attend college. I have two older siblings who decided not to attend college, because they wanted to go straight into the work force, and long term did not want to have to worry about paying back student loans.…

    There are five major perspectives on child development: psychoanalytic, behavioral, cognitive, context, and evolutionary. 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.

The Id is present at birth at represents unconscious desires, the ego is conscious and balances the needs of the id with societal demands, and the superego is the moral guide. Freud broke this development up into five stages.…
