Psychology-Development of Children

Here are the categories of development:

1. Physical Development

Physical development results from the interaction between individual factors of heredity and environmental forces. Abnormal growth patterns often reflect this interaction. A striking illustration of this effect is the failure to thrive syndrome in which children suffering from prolonged neglect or abuse simply stop growing.

2. Motor Development

The capacity to perform activities as walking, running, and jumping does not necessarily imply the ability to perform them skillfully or smoothly. For example, the young toddler’s steps are awkward. Yet by the end of toddlerhood, walking becomes a skilled activity. The stride lengthens, speed increases, balance stabilizes, and the child can walk for long periods without resting.

3. Perceptual Development

While the ability to see, hear, and integrate sensory information is well established by six months of age, more complex and less obvious perceptual abilities develop throughout early childhood.

4. Cognitive Development

Preoperational intelligence differs in many ways from the thinking of older children and adults and is sometimes puzzling and confusing to parents and caregivers. According to Piaget, preoperational thinking not only lacks logic but also it is egocentric.

6 Psychology Perspectives

These are the six psychological perspectives towards child learning:

1. The behavioral perspective says that positive behavior programmed with targets clearly understood by the pupil. It is also important to be consistent and it is the response to follow up that matters. Involving parents in rewarding good behavior is effective in young children.
2. The cognitive perspective says that is it important to involve pupils in reflecting on their own behavior and in setting and monitoring targets. Teachers provide strategies for the pupil to self regulate when feeling anxious.
3. The humanistic perspective focuses on the quality of relationships with pupils. Active listening to show that they have been really heard is important to build self-esteem.
4. The psychodynamic perspective says that pupils who have not received good enough care in the early years may have attachment anxiety and one should consider what unconscious pattern of behavior the child might be bringing to the classroom. Use interventions that help the child to process unresolved unconscious emotions in a safe way.

5. The biological perspective says to research basic information about the pupils safety. Be aware of the medication and keep it safe.
6. The ecological perspective says to consider the classroom and the layout. Think about the seating plan and how it may affect the pupil’s behavior. Consider the playground and sports equipment as well.

Dialectical Reasoning

Consequences of child neglect… A parent’s decision or the provinces?

Child neglect is the failure of caretakers to provide adequate emotional and physical care for a child. There are at least 500,000 children who are neglected by their caregivers. The state should intervene in cases of child neglect.

The state should intervene in the cases of child neglect because the children also have a right to live a proper life. No like just thrown away into trash or ignored because they cry too much or you don’t have the needs that you need to raise them up. These are just lame excuses. If you want to that to the children after they are born than why do you even conceive them or have them in the first place. First think of the pros and cons and the living standards and what will happen after this child is born and then conceive them or make this decision.

The state should have a hold on this because when the child grows up with this environment and they don’t know what to do and they are not given the nourishment and those needs that are supposed to be met then the after effects could be even worse. Nobody would accept them. They won’t know how to go with the world, what are ups and downs out there. Basically they would know nothing. They would be a living thing with no brain and no mind and no actions.

So for the good future of the children and for their betterment the state should intervene when the parents or the caregiver have crossed their limits in neglecting. Neglecting can have very long and very dreadful after effects. This is a matter of an individual’s entire life. Child neglect can result into some harmful side effects. If cannot only make the child weak physically but also emotionally. It causes them to shake form inside. When a child doesn’t get enough stimulation early in life, the brain may develop differently. “That changes all kinds of functions, including the ability to form and maintain relationships,

So the children should be given to the state so then they can be treated, trained and they can have successful lives and they can forgot their past as soon as they can and then they can get busy in their lives and also they have a purpose in their lives to do something and to achieve something. These kids don’t have enough courage to stand against their parents and show out for help. These kids need someone to speak up for them, they need love, they need care, and they need the feeling of being worthy.

According to me, I think that the state should intervene in this matter and it is the right act to do. These innocent souls should not be punished for life. Everyone have the right to live and have his or her part in world. No human is waste on earth. If nobody bothers to care for the kids who are punished for being born, they will all die. If a real parent gets heartless and don’t care for kids, their kids should be given to a loving and caring foster families who will love them a lot and replace all of their past tears with a huge smile and happy life. It is like a fire which doesn’t have smoke coming out but burning from inside.

Multiple Intelligence

What are the implications of multiple intelligences theory for adolescent development?

How should schools change on the basis of these theories?

What are the implications for choosing a career path?

Intelligence is the ability to solve problems or fashion products that are valued in at least one culture. I think that students who are hearing oriented learn and recall information when they hear it, and students with more developed kinesthetic abilities may need to experience physically what they are to learn through such strategies as role-playing and the use of manipulates. Students are engaged in learning activities emphasizing independent work. Students who prefer a quiet, relaxed work environment for independent study are provided with individual desks. They work in pairs and in small groups. Those who need special supervision by the teacher (e.g., vision-impaired, hearing-impaired, and emotionally troubled students) are seated near the front of the room or near the teacher’s desk. Students need to be aware of their schools’ efforts to respond to at least some aspects of their learning styles. The flexibility provided in a classroom adapted to differences in learning styles carries significant personal responsibilities for students.

Types of play in Psychology

These are the categories and the types of play:

1. Unoccupied play

The child is relatively stationary and appears to be performing random movements with no apparent purposes.

2. Solitary play

The child is completely engrossed in playing and does not seem to notice other children, most of the children between 2-3 years old.

3. Onlooker play

Child takes an interest in other children’s play but does not join in. May ask questions, or just talk to other children, but the main focus is simply to watch.

4. Parallel play

The child mimics other children’s play but doesn’t actively engage with them. Example, use the same toy.

5. Associative play

Now the children are more interested in each other than the toys. They are involved in strong interaction with other children while they play.

6. Cooperative play

Some organization enters children’s play. Example, the playing has some goal and the child adopts this from the roles in the group.

7. Functional

Functional play also referred to as exercise play is described as the first stage of play. It is where children acquire motor skills through repeated actions.

8. Construction Play

Construction play refers to purposeful play that results in some form of creation.

9. Symbolic Play

Symbolic play is most associated with make believe and representation of absent objects, such as drinking from an empty box to symbolize drinking liquid from a cup

10. Socio-dramatic Play

Socio-dramatic play is a more developed form of symbolic/dramatic play in which children engage in role-playing with other children through imitation and make-believe

11. Games with Rules

Games with rules represent the highest form of cognitive development with regard to play.

3 Stages of Production

Pre-production: This is the part where it gets decided on a movie being produced. The writer writes the play, actors and crewmembers are hired, salaries are decided and the imaginary movie starts to take its place in the reality. Everything from idea of production to the script writing and putting an outline for everything needed to be done can be put in a skeleton. This stage is just like making an outline before drawing a colored picture.

Production: This is the part where the most work takes place. The actors are reading for shoots and the crewmembers are also on roll. This stage involves everybody to work hard and it costs a lot. During this stage the video is shot and the props are used. It seems like a very fun part but it actually needs a lot more time to get done rather than another stage. It is very important to keep on task because if taken off topic it can be loss in time and money both. This is like buying the colors and deciding the colors for each part.

Post-production: This is the part where the technical crew have a lot to do, they edit the pictures to perfection and they put the singles shots and video clips together to make the picture complete. This is like coloring in the picture and finishing the final touches to it.
