As a reader, I connected with all three girls in some personal level because the comparisons of our lifestyles and choices. For example, page 5 through 9, when Adjoua lies and goes to Bintou with the excuse of studying and there is that one person, Albert in this case, that goes and says “I know you are sneaking out to chase boys.” Adjoua has very over-protective parents, her father especially. But I thought it was hypocritical when he accused Koffi of ‘cradle-robbing’ with a younger girl when he himself was doing the same with Bintou, his daughter’s best friend and Koffi’s daughter on pages 23 through 26. I thought Bintou envy’s Adjoua and Aya. Aya for her intelligence, with focus to bigger things and Adjoua for her protective parents who constantly worry about every day and night.
Cognitive development is when an individual first begins to develop the ability to think and understand for themselves. Lifespan Development An individual’s lifespan begins when they are conceived and continues as they develop in the womb for nine months. Once delivered, he or she continues through stages in life. “The science of human development seeks to understand how and why people— all kinds of people, everywhere, of every age—change over time” (Berger, 2011). The six common stages of lifespan development are infancy that is from birth until two years, childhood that is from two until 10 years of age, adolescence that is from 10-20 years of age, early adulthood which is from 20-40 years old, middle age which is from 40-65 years of age, and older age which is from 65 until death.
“A & P” by John Updike and “How I Met My Husband” by Alice Monroe are both “coming of age” stories; they are short stories where young adults experience an epiphany and change their lives. While at first glance these two stories may seem different, they show how small occurrences can transform a person’s life. These two tales of young, innocent attraction have similar backstories. They are set in the same time period, approximately in the early- to mid-90s. The characters of Edie and Sammy are close to the same age, being 15 and 19, respectively, and they are both working when their epiphany occurs.
Week 6 Social Development Research Tonya Gray PSY/201 October 20, 2012 Sandra Knight Psy.D Week 6 Social Development Research I chose the article “Long-Term Effects of Social Investment: The Case of Partnering in Young Adulthood. My main reason for selecting this article is that it explains how personalities develop over the course of years a person is reaching into adulthood. I have also had an interest in the elements that create the personalities in which a person develops as they grow. This article explains how the social and environmental aspects contribute to the personality of a person. In studies that were conducted it was proven that between the ages of eighteen and twenty five the personalities that develop are parenting skills, learning how to become a reliable partner, and the ability to become a competent employee.

Running head: Middle Katia Haney Haney 1 Psychology 103 Prof. King May 2, 2011 Introduction The definition of middle adulthood is development period between ages 40 and 65.

I think that the outcome of this confrontation was that she understood that it is wrong to hit the child in public places. 3- No one in my family or close to me had been referral for special needs as a child or older students. However; my sister’s neighbor was referred for special needs because the father and mother were having family problems, and I believe that these problems affected their children. The couple recently divorced and one of the girls had trouble learning and talking. So the social worker went to my sister house and asks her if she had seen any kind of child abuse?
The field of early childhood education and learning has experienced radical changes and has been transformed in the last decade. In this assignment I will be looking at the historical and theoretical milestones whilst exploring the implementation of some of the policies that have helped to shape the changes. Tina Bruce, a leading figure in early childhood education and an expert on the principles of learning, is believed to have been a great influence in shaping the way forward for childhood and education, she was on the working party for The ‘Curriculum Guidance for the Foundation Stage’, the ‘Birth to Three Matters’ Framework and the Foundation Stage Profile. Tina Bruce drew heavily on the work of Froebel, Steiner, Montessori and Piaget to write 10 principles of early childhood education which are believed to be the foundation of all children’s learning today. In 1988, the Education Reform Act set out a National Curriculum for England and Wales.
