Additionally, I take comfort in that my brain is still developing into my early adult years…

situated environment: “…children construct their own understandings through interaction with their environment and participation in experiences, and both the environment and heredity play a part in language development.” (Fellowes & Oakley, 2014, p. 50).

Children that have no attachment with their parents tend to have an…

Common Core admittedly has not paid homage to the research and theories of renowned educational theorist such as Piaget, Vygotsky, and Erikson. In fact, several of the early childhood standards are directly in contrast to Piaget’s Theory of cognitive development. Children enter Kindergarten around age 5 and exit third grade at the age of 8 or 9. The pre-operational stage lasts until age seven and…

Theoretical Framework Vygotsky’s theory is better know as the sociocultural theory. The sociocultural theory explains that both culture and social interactions influence the development of a child. Within Vygotsky’s theory there are three subsections: the zone of proximal development, private speech, and the use of scaffolding (Arnett 2016). Throughout my parenting of my child, Miles, I used scaffolding frequently. Arnett (2016) explains that scaffolding is used in order for a child to slowly…
