Introduction A toy/game that is interactive helps the child develop in many different parts of his body and mind. We will learn about the types of play for an early childhood aged kid. I will tell you about the game and how it is used. In addition, how the game helps with the child’s development. Type of Play Play is very important in the child’s growth and development (Myers 2012).
Developing a General Outcome Measure of Growth in Movement for Infants and toddlers is an important outcome in early childhood, is necessary for physical, cognitive, and social-emotional development. The development of an experimental measure for assessing growth in movement in children ages birth to 3 years is described. Based on general outcome measurement (GOM) procedures , the measure was intended for the identification of children having difficulty acquiring movement skills and the evaluation of the effectiveness of interventions for these children. Results from its use with a sample of 29 infants and toddlers demonstrated the feasibility of the measure. The 6-minute GOM was found to be reliable in terms of inter-observer agreement and odd-even and alternate forms indices.
This development in children includes both emotional and social development. From infants to adults, children are constantly adapting and learning about the environment and the world surrounding them (Maggi & Irwin, 2008). As a result, they begin to understand how to co-exist with others and the world. It is very early on when the child develops a certain personality depending on the type of upbringing and environment provided. Children do develop differently depending on their genetic makeup and environment, parents and guardians can play a huge role to ensure that the child grows up to be an emotionally mature individual.
The child responds to the influence of other people but is actively engaged in developing its own concept of its and others genders. Kohlberg argues that there are 3 stages through which children naturally progress as they get older and their cognitive abilities develop. Stages in the construction of gender are thought to be associated with wider stages in cognitive development. Between the ages of 2 and 3 occurs stage one, which Kohlberg named ‘gender labelling’ this is where a child recognises that he or she is a girl or boy. This is purely based on appearances; if the appearance was to change then the child would happily change the label too.
I will lastly concentrate on discussing the applications of his theory to therapy today. Freud devised the best known and arguably the most widely studied and universally talked about of all the personality theories. Central to his ideology was the belief that instinctual biological urges, primarily sexual and aggressive are the forces that motivate every aspect of an individual’s behaviour. One of the fundamental notions in Freud’s theory, concerning his view of human personality, is the
Running Head: COMPARISON OF THEORISTS Comparison of Theorists Emma Jolley Grand Canyon University: PSY 255 March 3, 2013 Comparison of Theorists One of the most profound contributors to the science of Psychology was Seymund Freud. His work has withstood the test of time as being some of the most prolific, profound, though provoking, and astounding work of anyone in the history of psychology; however, not everyone agreed with all his concepts or everything he theorized. There were other contributors who utilized his work as a starting point for their own investigations and research into different areas of personality psychology. This paper will compare and contrast the work and theories of: Jung, Adler, Horney, and Erikson with the work and concepts of Freud. At the conclusion of this paper the reader will have a clear understanding of the work of all these theorists and the contributions they made to society.
- at this age children like to be accepted by others and behave in a way to get attention. - play is an important aspect of social development. emotional. - emotional development continues to occur at a rather fast pace. - will begin to develop a sense of empathy and may care for people who are crying or upset.
Children’s vocabulary and skills develop rapidly, especially in their early years so the sooner a problem is identified; the sooner support can be put in place to help the child’s development improve. If a delay is not identified risks could include: children not fulfilling their full potential, children experiencing problems with their learning and understanding of information, children struggling to become independent, children may suffer a sense of isolation, a child may become withdrawn, they could experience difficulty or loss of interest in making and keeping friendships, children may have a lack of motivation, they may suffer from depression, low self-esteem or low confidence, they may be unable to express feelings appropriately, they may be at risk from a possible regression of behaviour, children could suffer from separation anxiety and present anti-social
This stage builds upon the autonomy the child has developed. Bee and Boyd (2009) describe this as the child facing the complexities of planning and developing a sense of judgment. It is during this stage that children begin to assert themselves more freely through directive play and other social interaction. They begin to plan activities, make up games, and initiate activities with others. It is natural for behavioral issues to begin, as the child may begin to show some aggression, as they are learning how to relate to their peers and authority.
Mentally during the elementary years, children begin to move toward abstract thoughts. More confident with their bodies and movements they start to use their abstract thinking. Now, those "sensorial explorers” transformed to "social explorers ". Children in the plane of childhood are drawn to more social interactions and interested in thoughts and feeling. They also are in a close connection with their peers.
