have. After years of studying child development, I have always been interested in how attachment affects a child’s growth and future turnout of children who have good and bad attachment with their caregivers.

A child sees themselves as a main priority to its parents and raises esteem and the way they perceive others. Two parents are ideal in the development of a child’s life. A single parent can’t take up the father figure or the mother figure at once because it isn’t possible to know how…

The theory I chose is Transactional analysis. According to Rogers transactional analysis is based on psychodynamic theory that shows up in early childhood behavior and carries on throughout your life.

Developing a secure relationship with one’s child is crucial, especially in early childhood. Although every child’s needs are different, each child must have his basic needs met.

However, not every neglected child develops RAD. Also, some children may have some of the…

There are many things to consider regarding age and rate of development, not only for walking, but for other motor skills and cognitive functions as well. A growth chart is an excellent resource to verify normal and acceptable ages for development of different motor skills and also ages that indicate slow development or failure to thrive (Berger, 2016, p. 90). These charts work by using a system of percentiles. If your child falls…

During the stage of infancy is when the attachment process occurs. According to (CITATION) attachment serves four main purposes: “providing a sense of security, regulating affect and arousal, promoting the expression of feelings and communication, and serving as a base for exploration.” (CITATION). Attachment theory asserts that there are four types of attachment styles that the child can develop during the attachment phase: secure, insecure-avoidant, insecure-ambivalent, and insecure-…

The lifespan development theory is supported through the different perspectives of many scientists and psychologists. Through deep research and experimentation, theses have been developed regarding the eruption of new characteristics that individuals will demonstrate as they grow. These ideas are displayed in William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, specifically exhibited through the lives of Romeo and Juliet themselves. To demonstrate, Psychologist Lawrence Kohlberg’s theory considers an…

Based on Carly's parent-infant classification of being securely attached to her mom, I would describe Carly as having the highest satisfied relationships in her romantic relationships. Due to a secure attachment style, Carly is more secure and confident in herself. She also feels that she is connected to her partner, while allowed to move about without constraint from her partner. Carly may also be more honest, open and supportive in her romantic relationships. In her romantic relationships she…
