RUNNING HEAD: TREATMENT OF CHILDREN OBSERVATION As we get older and begin to stand more our own in the world being a kid again for some does not seem that bad. Overtime we develop our identity, although the process may be different for each individual we all go through developmental life changes. In respect to child development, Greenspan & Greenspan (2003), created a developmental model that display the levels of growth that should be achieved from infancy to adolescence. Greenspan’s model (2003) consists of four developmental levels: (1) Attends and engages, (2) Communicates with gestures and behaviors, (3) Creates internal images (ideas) share them with others (i.e. symbols, mental representation), and (4) Categorizes these meanings and makes connections between them.
Introduction Early childhood play is integral to the development of children’s cognitive, emotional and social skills. It is so important to optimal child development that it has been ‘recognized by the United Nations High Commission for Human Rights as a right of every child.’ (Ginsburg, 2007, p. 182) . From a constructivist perspective, play is an important part of the process of constructing knowledge, as Glover (1999, p. 7) states, ‘play provides a mechanism allowing children to move from what they already know and can master to more advanced knowledge.’ In recent years, the push for a more academic focus in early childhood settings has undermined the emotional and social development value of play in promoting the educational development of children (Ashiabi, 2007, p. 199). Furthermore, there is an extensive amount of literature and studies on child behaviour during play, with many different types of play discussed. This essay will discuss the main types of play and the theories behind them, differentiate between cognitive and imaginary play, and discuss issues that teachers need to be aware of that relate to excessive forms of non-social play in students.
Future studies would benefit from acknowledgement of possible socio-economic and cultural differences as well as establishing the potential impact of power dynamics on responses given in the adult-child interview condition. Introduction Identity, based on sense-of-self or self-concept is believed to develop over a long period and as Maccoby (1980) suggests, “self-awareness develops incrementally and is produced by understandings which become more and more complex”. This suggestion is relevant since it highlights the idea that it continues to mature throughout childhood. The sense-of-self is divided into two steps- ‘I’ (‘self-as-subject’) and the ‘me’ (‘self-as-object’), where once a child has developed a certain level of self-awareness (the ‘I’), they are then ready to place themselves and be placed by others (the ‘me’). James (1892) These categories are used to define who they are, developing a sense- of-self.
Evidence will show that a child’s growth and development has many aspects including physical, motor, perceptual, cognitive, social-emotional, and language development. The concept of development is follows a unique pattern which involves social and cultural environments. These things influence the role of shaping the learning process of a child states Allen & Marotz, (2010). The concept of growth includes mild variations and simple irregularities. These mean that achievement of certain skills according to predictable sequence, many with individual variations, which are typical, and a cumulative process in which each new aspect of growth builds on earlier changes; each accomplishment builds from the previous learned skill states Allen & Marotz, (2010).
Developmental Process Presentation JCH Developmental Process Presentation There are many noticeable physical and mental differences between early childhood (2-6 years old) and middle childhood (6-10 years old). In early childhood their language and communication skills start to develop quickly. The child will begin to learn new vocabulary, the correct use of language in social settings and their grammar has noticeable changes. Even with all these advancements that are taking pace, it is still noticeable that these children are just in the beginning stages of learning as compared to children in middle childhood. In middle childhood children have already developed a set of language skills.
Introduction • P states cognitive development is the result of = Biological maturation (ageing) and a child’s interaction with the environment. • As a child gets older more mental operations become possible and at the same time through their interaction with the environment their understanding of the world becomes more complex. A01/Key aspects of the theory • Schemas=self-constructed mental structures. Have a few at birth but develop more over time as a result of interactions with the world. • When a child receives new info they will either accommodate it or assimilate it into existing schemas.
Skilled observation is important to correctly determine what is behind a child’s classroom behavior. Misinterpretation leads to difficulties for both teacher and child stemming from the teacher thinking that one cause has led to the child’s behavior, while the truth may be quite different (MacDonald, 2006). Children communicate through their bodies. Their physical actions reveal as much about them as the things they say. A major accomplishment during the early years is the development of social skills.
|Chapter 1 Summary | Child Development as a Scientific, Applied, and Interdisciplinary Field What is child development, and what factors stimulated expansion of the field? • Child development is the study of human constancy and change from conception through adolescence. It is part of a larger discipline known as developmental psychology or human development, which includes the entire lifespan. Research on child development has been stimulated by both scientific curiosity and social pressures to better the lives of children. Our knowledge is interdisciplinary-it has grown through the combined efforts of people from many fields of study.
During this time children tend to develop interests in hobbies and building relationships. The final stage is Genital stage (puberty to death). During this stage they have a strong interest in the opposite sex, are more focused on others as well as themselves and start to, and continue to, develop skills for healthy habits and a balanced
