First the infant bonds with its mother. It’s during this time it learns to start development of emotions. Erickson’s “Eight Stages of Development” contends that if children don’t have their basic needs for security met early in life, they can become distrustful and fearful. A baby develops a bond of security and trust during the first two years of life, called the nurturing stage. Emotional development should be the most important thing we do for the child.
(Peterson, 2010) Joel - Childhood 2-10 throughout this period, children become progressively independent from their parents as they learn to do things themselves and additional achievement self-control. Throughout this period, children's intellectual abilities develop, and they also start to grow an understanding of what is right and wrong. (Peterson, 2010) Connie - Infancy0-2 While the infant is reliant on mothers for most things, numerous psychological features are fast emerging. Throughout this period, the connection that develops between the infant and their mother is significant in relations of the infant's advanced sensitive development. (Peterson, 2010) b) Describe the current issues and changes you would expect to observe in each of the following human development areas: • Physical • Cognitive • Emotional and psychological • Social • Sexual 20 marks Alice Physical: The present problems for Alice would be the health consequences of her habitual smoking and drinking.
It is an ongoing adjustment for the mother to allow another adult who is not the father of her children to assist with behavior corrections, establishing rules, and allowing the step dad to follow through with adult correction and leadership in the household. The ability to deal with the stress of change in the family unit depends on their ability to cope, and the maturity level of their coping skills. It is important for this family to realize it is strength to turn to family counseling or others for support. The developmental stage of this family is ever changing and growing. I believe family is in both the times as couple and parental years of family development.
As Alice had to grow up basically looking after her self and her younger siblings she learned that even if you do not have support you still need to follow your dreams and live you life. This is a large aspect to how Alice discovered herself. Alice's parents get extremely angry at her and blame her completely for the accident. This circumstance is a critical one on Alice's journey to self-discovery. Alice learns how protective and careful she has to be while looking after her brothers and sisters.
Planning for the future of the disabled is an exhausting necessity. There are numerous agencies to help ease the stress of estate planning for the disabled. Disabled Child, Aging Parents, Uncertain Future “Your child is disabled,” is a sentence foreign to many. But for those whom have experienced a doctor’s diagnosis in which their child’s name and disability are in the same sentence, life changes. A parent’s role is to take care of their children until they are old enough to take care of themselves.
The next stage then starts to get more intense as the child gets distress on the separation of the mother. The young child would show this from only a short period of time away from the mother. The next stage is then “joy on reunion”. The baby welcomes back their attachment” “the mother” by clinging on to the figure. This then turns into general orientation, and the attachments bring their attention to each other.
I was able to talk with some teen moms about their experiences of having a baby. I received some negative feedback, such as not being able to do the things I normally would do at sixteen and the responsibly I would have as a teen. I had a high chance of becoming a statistic in teen pregnancy by living in poverty and my child having issues when he got older because he would not have a father. The positive feedback from the teen mothers was encouraging. She told me how the love and bond between mother and child is so strong that you can overcome anything.
The family is a basic subsystem of the larger society. It is a building block to a bigger and better community. Everyone is born into some sort of a family or home, though there are orphanages. In our family of origin we learn to grow, develop, become socialized, develop morals, share, learn to deal with conflict, and become educated to go out into the bigger world. At this point in time my definition of family is a group of two or more people who desire to be together, to share things and ideas, and care for each other, to support each other, and contribute for the good of the whole.
Permissive parents have children who, in many ways, share the undesirable characteristics of children of authoritarian parents. Children with permissive parents tend to be dependent and moody, and they are low in social skills and self-control (Feldman, 2014). Healthy Family System A healthy family system can be noticed by its living arrangement. The way a family live such as the size of the family can determine a good healthy family system Real life experiences and upon observation of my own, parents with one or two kids are able to give more attention to their children than parents with several children. Children who grow up in a household with just one or two children tend to thrive more in society and not be withdrawn oppose to children who grow up in a household with several children tend to have a lack of attention.
It starts at the moment a child is born and lasts a life time. Family is the strongest during a child's infancy/toddler years. During this a child learns from a family such things as; language abilities, body control, emotional control, rules of society, and moral values. Family also plays a key part in early sex-role socialization, racial/ethnic prejudices, and determining the childs attitude towards religion/culture. The power family has becomes weakened as a child becomes a teenager from the influence he/she has from peer groups and the media.
