Infancy into Adulthood Development

Introduction

The basic objective of the development of your child is to enable them in the beginning years of their lives to become deeply involved and self-directive in their learning. This requires first a positive image as a person, since there is a 'circular process' of interaction between learning and personality development. Each child's development is judged by their intellectual functioning, their ego strength, their inventiveness, their relatedness to peers and adults, and their capacity to cope with new events that cross their path each day within their social life. From the time of birth people experience major developmental changes, which vary depending on their age (Wright,1991, pp 45-278).

The changes they experience are influenced by the stage of development they are experiencing. Two stages in the life cycle with regards to childhood are the stage of early childhood (2-6yrs.) and the stage of late childhood (6-12yrs.). Within the sphere of early and late childhood, there are three key aspects of development that will be the primary focus of this paper. Physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional development play a vital role in determining how successfully a child develops and progresses on into adulthood(Santrock, 1986, pp 45-234). In this paper we will develop a Child Developmental Project .

Child Personality and Moral Development

The family environment is important to the take care of a child and if difficulty exist then the child is most likely to go through the consequences. A number of researchers have declared that it is the family surroundings that persuade the hyperactivity of children. The researchers specially recognize family risk aspect as parenting, education, practices, poverty and family structure. Families with pathetic family connection and poor contact have been exposed to have a connection with children's growth of violent. (Fink ET all, 2005)

Social learning theory explains how the environment can influence a child's behavior. This theory explains the antisocial behavior or aggressive of a child that a child examines violent behavior between siblings, parents, or both. The child thinks that this aggressive behavior is normal and can for that reason use it themselves because they do not perceive the harm in performing parallel to their parents. (Hogan Et all, 1996)

Children who are bringing up in aggressive family surroundings would most likely be inclined to experiencing a lack of parental observing and rejection, tolerance or discrepancy in punishment, and aggression. The experience to such high levels of aggression and other environmental factors greatly influences and underline child's behavior. The concept that genetics do influences levels of aggression, which stands in conflict to the social learning theory. (Icek Ajzen, 1988)

Piaget's Child Development Theory

A psychologist by the name of Jean Piaget developed a theory that all cognitive abilities take place during the first two years in life. Piaget examined the actions and development of young children. Piaget developed a theory that consists of four cognitive development stages: Sensor motor Stage, Preoperational stage, Concrete Operational Stage, and Formal Operational ...
