Play therapy gives children the opportunity to explore, and establish play that is interesting and exciting to them. Play therapy helps to build the communication and learning process in children. Play therapy is used strategically to help children face their problems. This therapy is different from the usual play, the therapists use play to help a child address and find a solution to their problems. The theories that guide this studies research on play therapy, are Piaget’s theory of cognitive…

Case Study Carson Jones is a student that I have been observing and working with this semester. He is a great kid, but has learning and social disabilities, with his main disability being his stuttering problem. My observations have included IEP meetings, parent meetings, and casual talks. I have even employed Carson and included him on several jobs where he was taught to interact with customers and write invoices. I introduced him to several trade schools and apprenticeship programs, and…

Paper # C The early Physical Development in a child’s body is very critical; many factors play in physical and mental health. A child’s physical and mental development is affected from early experiences and relationship with parent, relative teachers and peers, which can shape the architecture of the developing brain and body. Mental health provides an essential foundation of stability that supports the functioning of a child’s development. Young children can be affected by many social,…

In this article I will be applying Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development to mathematic instruction. Piaget’s introduce the learning process through different stages of cognitive development such as Sensorimotor Stage, Preoperational Stage, Concrete Operations Stage, and the Formal Operations Stage. The Sensorimotor Stage is the stage an infant’s mental and cognitive attributes develop from birth until the appearance of language. In this stage the child will become able to find objects even…

School makes me very stress and sometimes I want to give up, but I use some tips and trick to motivate myself. How I do it, is that I think about what I want and why I want it. Thus, it always leads to the phrase in my mind, “I have to get it! I have to just do it!”, or I just look at Shia Labeouf’s video called: Just Do It. The video consist of him yelling at the viewer telling him or her to not give up. Another way I motivate myself is jogging and exercise because I then become my own coach…

Balance is another gross motor skill that greatly improves between ages three and five. William R. Giacalone and G. Lawrence Rarick measured the balance of children aged three to five, and studied the factors that influence balance. Children were asked to balance on beams of different widths, heights, and angles, and their performance was examined. All five year olds had perfect balance scores on a beam that was six inches wide and one foot off the ground (Giacalone and Rarick, 2920). Most four…

While learning different concepts and theories regarding the the field of child development there Piaget’s cognitive - developmental theory and Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory are to theories that we can’t deny have a huge impact on the field of child development. With that being said we will get into both their similarities and differences in specific aspects such as whether development within humans is continuous or discrete etc. But first we will discuss the overall theories of each, we…

At birth and up to 3 months old, an infant uses different sounds of crying as a method of communicating their needs and wants to the caregiver. These differentiated sounds can indicate pain, hunger, or tiredness. As they cry, the caregiver will provide them with food, comfort, or the companionship they are seeking (NIDCD, 2010). Typically, a crying infant will calm down when they are upset if they recognize the voice of the caregiver or mother (icommunicate, n.d.). Babies at this age actively…

Tyler Robertson Social Development in Infancy: Roles of Temperament and Attachment Temperament represents a set of inherent qualities of an individual that affect the organization of his or her behavior. Most experts agree that temperament has a biological basis justified by factors such as genetic influences, but they disagree on temperament’s strict definition or what are its basic dimensions. However, one of the most prominent methods for measuring temperament based on Mary Rothbart’s three…

Executive function refers to the cognitive systems that control and manage other cognitive processes. Executive functions help people to manage their life tasks; some of these processes let children to be organized and keep track of things physically and mentally. Working memory helps children to keep information in their mind. Decision making helps them to think before they act. Also Executive function helps them in attention, focus and other more tasks.
