These changes develop in relation to physical and mental health as well as emotional and social competence. Research confirms that the first three years of a child’s life are critical in shaping the architecture of the brain.…

Have you ever wondered how you learned to crawl and then walk? How about language? Child development theories explain all these types of questions. I learned that there are many different viewpoints and theories of childhood development. Education, culture, and religious views can affect a parent’s decision on how to raise their children.…
I came to realize that as a child and growing up I have always been in the adaptive child. Doing what's right and keeping those around me happy. In other words it has always been about pleasing others. As I am a grown up now with kids and working at a top position I have come to realize that the adaptive child will not always work. People take advantage of you and take you for granted .For…
Children’s Development Name, identify and describe 6 important aspects of child’s development. From the moment children are born, they are developing. Although child development “is a continuous and at times predictable process” (Lamont, 2015), there are many aspects that impact a child’s development. Brain development is a major part of child’s development that continues to develop well after the child is born.…
1. Based upon the findings in the book, “Child Development From Infancy Adolescence by Laura E. Levine and Joyce Munsch,” show that adopted children were more likely to be aggressive if their biological parents were and if they were also exposed to difficulties with their adoptive parents. Another example would be if someone carried the disorder alpha-1-A1 deficiency and then that person started smoking (environment), that individual was more likely to develop emphysema faster than someone that didn’t carry the alpha-1-A1 deficiency(Gene-Environment Interaction).…
I feel young children develop through a combination of play interactions with others, through their culture and their environment. I feel everything a child does is a learning experience, whether good or bad. Learning experiences are contributing factors to a child’s development. My theory is called Freeman’s Child Development Theory. I believe there are five stages of development.…
Throughout the observations I noticed there was a relatively even amount of information regarding the four developmental domains: physical, cognitive, social, and emotional. The first instance of physical development was in observation two when children were playing outside. Children were climbing the playground and running around in the play area. Children should be encouraged to run around while outside, if they aren’t then children are antsy in times when they need to be quiet and still.…
This can be thought of as the development of memory within a network based on previous experiences. We can also see that, as different inputs are introduced and the network is made to learn these…
In discovering the three ‘Cradles of Child Development’, which are family and family structures, culture, including family processes, and community, which can include viewing children in a diverse society (McDevitt, Ormrod, Cupit, Chandler, Aloa, 2013, pp.62-63), I have realised the importance of teachers having as much information about a child or adolescent’s family background as possible. When a teacher is aware of a student’s family structure, such as, are both parents in the home, siblings, are the parents going through a divorce, does a parent work away from the home (for example, FIFO workers) – this information can have a bearing on a student’s behaviour as well as their development in terms of if they are, for example, aggressive…
Sequence of development is the order in which children develop such as a child will learn how to drink milk then begin eating blended food and finally be able to eat solid food. When children are developing it means they are developing every area, which is known as holistic development. (Pearson Schools and College, 2014) Rate of development means how fast or delayed the child may be at developing. Not all children will meet the stages of developments at the same time for a variety of reasons.…
Brain development is when a child’s brain transforms during a period of development between utero and three. This development is crucial for many reasons, including the child’s relationships, their experiences and their surrounding environment, this continues throughout their life time. During the time of middle childhood (ages 7-11), there is a growth spurt which occurs in the brain around 8 or 9 which allows the organ (brain) to almost reaching its full size. The brain development during these years is depicted by the growth of certain specific structures, particularly in the frontal lobes.…
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. Freud was also the first one who believed that all human beings were born with the desire towards hunger, sex and aggression. 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.…
This essay discusses the four grand theories of development. A theory is an attempt to organise a lot of different facts and give an overall explanation of something. The four Grand Theories of child development is Behaviourism, Social learning theory, Piaget’s cognitive-developmental theory and Vygotsky’s social-cognitive theory. It is important to examine these theories because it has a huge influence on how we think about children, how we interact with children and the way we view children. There are two types of behaviourism Classical conditioning and Operant conditioning.…
