Lawrence Summers

in the park, during the summer, is something my family and I love to do. Watching the wind blow through the bright green leaves on the tree’s, or feeling the warm, reviving sun radiating off my skin. Covering me in a blanket of sunshine. The sweet, fruity smell that lingers in the air is a smell I wish could stay in the air all year round. Even if the air conditioning is on, I still will open my bedroom window to let the smell of summer fill my room. For my family, summer seems to be a season…

One thing I will miss about summer is having the freedom to do want I want and when I want to do it. I think that summer just lowers my stress and makes me feel better and more active. I love sleeping in and not having to wake up to an alarm clock. Being tired and not in a good mood. I also like when I could stay up late in summer and watching movies and stuff. For example, I stayed up til 5 in the morning with my friends at a sleepover. I think that summer just gives you freedom and you can go…

I was in my last few days of 3rd grade and I couldn’t wait for summer. Just thinking about all the good times I would have like camping, swimming, and playing baseball with my team, the Aces, had me giddy. As the last few days of school came to an end my anxiousness grew until it finally came. Summer, free at last. The summer was going great, the days where hot and had a humidness that stuck to you. Every day I ran around with my friends and tried as hard as I could to make it back before…

What is summer? The majority of kids, if asked, will tell you that summer signifies the end of school, the start of fun and freedom. You will find some kids at the pool, the mall, or sleeping in. Many stay home and play video games, while others go to the beach. Instead of spending my time at the pool or with friends, I hung-out with furry, four-legged beast and some rambunctious two-legged, little people. As you will learn, this summer, for me, has been a time of learning responsibility. Ever…

Swiss born psychologist and philosopher, Jean Piaget is considered to be a pioneering genius in the field of developmental psychology, Not only did he make vast improvements in the treatment of patients with mental disorders, he has revolutionized how child development is viewed along with teaching, and learning itself. Born in 1896 to a professor and a domestic engineer, Piaget had a quite a fierce fascination with Biology as a child, and spent many a days at the national museum of natural…

Along with Bronfenbrenner, one of the other contributing theorist in Human Development is Piaget. Throughout much of the story, Dave was in the concrete operational period. This period “occurs between the ages of seven and twelve, which is characterized by the active, and appropriate use of logic” (Feldman, 2015, Chapter 5). An example of this from the book is the fact that Dave used logic to figure out when was going got be a good day or a bad day for him depending on the way his mother dressed…

Jean Piaget’s theory is very interesting. The cognitive development is all the mental activities. The thinking, knowing, remembering, and communicating. Jeans studies made him believe that a child’s mind grows in stages. The older we get the more our brains develop. Our intellectual progression has to do with all of our experiences we have in our life time. We have schemas as out brain is maturing. Where we have experiences where we use and adjust to these schemas. They change a lot the older we…

Mikayla Prettyman Reflection 6 Piaget's Theory In piaget's theory there are four stages of cognitive development that the brain goes through from birth to adulthood. The four stages are sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational. The first stage sensorimotor is from birth to about the age of 2. Babies take in the world through their senses which is hearing, touching, mouthing, and grasping. Young babies live in the present “out of sight out of mind”. If you show a…

For the first five years of his life, David’s home life was normal and he was a happy child. But when his parents’ alcoholic tendencies and outside stress became too much, David became a punching bag and slave in his own home. David experienced physical, emotional, and mental abuse causing him to feel less than human in his own home. Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Model highlights how David’s interaction with his family and the environment impacted how he developed (Feldman, 2015). His…
