Case Scenario A: Lacie Lacie is an 8-year old girl who is in the third grade. She enjoys PE class, is kind and respectful, and is able to make friends well. Unfortunately, Lacie struggles with reading. She cannot read the words as fast as her classmates and it takes her longer to complete reading assignments. Lacie has come to dread reading time, especially when the teacher has the class read aloud. She becomes very nervous and self-conscious when asked to read and she stumbles over the words. For the past few weeks, Lacie has become withdrawn, feigns sick when she knows a reading assignment is due, and will ask to go to the bathroom if the teacher assigns in- class reading assignments. She has started making comments to her teacher that she is not smart and will never be smart like the other kids. 1. According to Harter’s 5 Domains, in what areas does Lacie appear to succeed? Lacie, succeeds in Behavioral Conduct, Athletic Skills and Peer Likeability. 2. According to Harter’s 5 Domains, with which area does Lacie appear to be struggling?

She’s starting to look down on herself. 4. According to the scenario above, in what stage of Erikson’s Psychosocial Theory of Development is Lacie?

Case Scenario B: Gabriel Gabriel is a 6-year-old boy who loves to play basketball, play army and wrestling with his friends, and build forts with boxes and blankets when he is playing alone. He has developed and is continuing to develop his vocabulary and likes to try to spell words. He will even get several of his classmates together in a small group and try to teach them how to spell different words. When they sometimes want to do something different, he has a hard time understanding their point of view be he just moves on and plays something different. 5. According to the scenario above, in what stage of Erikson’s Psychosocial Theory of Development is Gabriel? Which category of the psychosocial crisis does the group believe he is experiencing? Explain your answer. (Example: Trust vs. Mistrust stage and currently experiencing trust.) Gabriel is in the early child hood stage, his development shows he is more initiative because hee gets people together to do something he can lead. 6. In what stage of Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development would you classify Gabriel? Explain your answer. Preoperational stage, hes able to pretend and use imagination, as well as being egocentric because he wants his classmates to do what he wants. 7.

Collaborative pretend play is being portrayed when playing army. When wrestling he is portraying rough and tough play, when making a fort he is pretending and make believe. Case Scenario C: Jayla Jayla is a 9-year old girl who lives with her mother, father, and two older brothers. When it comes to their philosophy on parenting, Jayla’s parents believe in working together as a team. They each try to practice authoritative parenting but sometimes, Jayla’s father will become a little lax in the rules and have a hard time telling the children “no.” This in turn contributes to her mother becoming stricter and expect obedience to the rules. Overall, though, this does not happen very much and there does not appear to be a negative effect on Jayla or her brothers. Jayla likes to go to school but enjoys the creative projects more than she does math or reading. She especially enjoys the classroom pet rabbit and her teacher has even made a comment that the rabbit seems to like Jayla the best. Jayla shared with her mom that she wants to work at a zoo when she grows up. Her classmates like Jayla and she is good working in small groups with her peers to complete a task. 9. According to the scenario above, Jayla’s parents try to practice authoritative parenting but they sometimes slip into two separate styles. Which style does her father sometimes use? Which style does her mother sometimes use? Explain the group’s answer. Jayla’s father slips to becoming a permissive parent, and he mother is then made to be authoritarian to almost balance the fathers lacking. 10. According to Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence Theory, what two forms of intelligence does Jayla appear to possess? Explain your reasoning. Jayla displays Interpersonal because she is social and her peers seem to really like her, and the second would be naturalist, because she really enjoys the class rabbit and the rabbit enjoys her.
