Authoritative parenting encourages…

Contrary to Freud’s psychosexual development theory, psychologist Erik Erikson came up with a different theory which is known as the Psychosocial Development theory. This theory as explained in textbook Lifespan Development 4rth Edition consists of eight different stages in which Erikson believes every individual must go through in order to successfully accomplish development at every stage.(Boyd, Johnson, Bee, 2011) Each one of Erik Erikson stages presents us with a different challenge we face…

Nina Thueson Piaget’s stages of cognitive development: The sensorimotor stage, from birth to age 2 In this stage the infant learns and explores primarily through their senses and the world around them is only what they can see and make associations with.

The eight key stages of Erik Erikson’s Psychosocial Development theory were: 1. Trust versus Mistrust: During the first eighteen months of life, children are focused on developing a sense of trust in caregivers and the world. Children who receive warm and responsive care are able to develop an attitude of trust in people. Incompetence to develop trust will result in fear and learns not to trust the people around him (Berk & Meyers 2016). 2. Autonomy versus Shame and Doubt: This second stage…

“Cognitive is the act or process of knowing” (Dolgin, 2010, p. 38) and cognitive development occurs when we develop our thinking and reasoning skills. Jean Piaget wanted to learn more about “how children reached conclusions” and, in the process, created his four stages of cognitive development: sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational. The students I observed, aged eleven and twelve, fall into the end of the concrete operational stage and the beginning of the…

Antonio had to grow up and decide whether he would please his father or mother. Although he had three…

Reading chapter 7, I learned about the social smile which what a baby does when expressing happiness. This smile is evoked by a human face when a baby is at about 6 weeks. Something I didn't know what that a baby doesn't laugh until the 2 to 4 month period. I would think that if a baby expressed anger it seemed as is something was wrong but the trusty is, anger is a healthy response to being frustrated. Despite a baby's attitude being frustrated is very normal. The concept of self awareness is…

Children observe the world in a way no one else would dare to dream of. Through the lens of innocence, and imagination, youth is preserved through detachment from the technological society; and based on children’s ideas from their youth, help construct the advancement of a society. In Rudolfo Anaya’s Bless Me Ultima, this notion held absolute truth, through children who questioned the world not only on a physical level, but spiritually, society was able to find new innovations. Similarly, this…
