Development Stages 0-19 Years

Social and Emotional Development: Developing sense of own identity and wanting to do things for their selves, demanding of adults attention and being jealous of adults attention being shred, reluctant to share play things, acts impulsively, requiring needs to be met instantly, prone to burst of emotion tantrums, enjoys playing with adults or older child who will give attention, beginning to play with others of own age for short periods of time.

Social and emotional development begins by showing affection and becoming attached to parents or carers and becoming what we usually call ‘clingy’. Young children may become distressed when a parent leaves the room or is not in sight. Slightly older children may demand attention and use tantrums to get their own way. They will generally be easily distracted from unwanted behaviour.

1. She should start to walk in a straight line and hop on one foot. She should also be able to climb objects and jump over 5 or 6 inches high. She should also be able to pedal and steer. She will start to run and throw objects. She may even start to reproduce shapes and letters.

Observing Ryan for 20 mins at 9 months you can tell Ryan has developed many skills such as motor skills, language skills, and also social/emotional skills. While observing Ryan I observed he has the ability to sit up on his own to either play with his toys or begin to crawl from one place to another to explore around the living room, roll over on his own from stomach to back to drink his bottle of milk and vise versa back to stomach to begin to crawl, uses his weight on his legs to get off the floor and begin to hold onto the sofa for support independently, reaches for objects such as his toys or even objects that aren’t his toys such as the remotes or my book, and Ryan loves to explore different objects using hands and mouth such as grabbing

Erikson felt that the child can develop self-esteem and autonomy, as it is during these years that children are learning to become independent by doing things for themselves like potty training. Erikson also felt during this stage the child is able to also learn new skills if child fails to do so the child can then possibly become a defiant child. The goal of this stage is to develop will.

conversations with children’s and adults. Lastly, he is able to follow more than one direction.

Child development can be described as the psychological, emotional, and biological changes that occur from birth to the end of adolescence (National Institute of Healthcare, 2016). During child development, the individual develops from dependence to increasing self-sufficiency (National Institute of Healthcare, 2016). Empirical research would suggest that the process of child development is a predictable process that can be measured and influenced by environmental and biological factors (National Institute of Healthcare, 2016). From birth humans experience the world and every aspect of it from temperature, sound, taste, and vision to the feeling of love and affection. While in the

Language development is critical in being able to communicate. When a child is lacking interactions, this can delay speech and learning appropriate behaviors towards others. This can cause frustration in a child that cannot communicate effectively.

Within this familiar context, Blake’s level of conceptual play and object manipulation seems consistent with his age according to the developmental scale. All behaviors up to 15 months were shown, however; considering his age of 3 years and 7 months, we left them out of the record. Fastforwarding slightly to the behaviors that are more advanced, Blake shows several age-appropriate behaviors, particularly in this episode of pretending to make us dinner. According to the developmental scale, at 2 ½ to 3 1/2 years, a child should be able to demonstrate evolving temporal sequences. Blake does this when he gets out the knife, then cuts the banana, peels the banana, and hands it to one of us. Then he gets out the drinks and gives them to another

They are beginning to understand the behaviors of others. They begin to tease, empathize, and

between seven and 11 months of age, there is a strong show of attachment as well as an inclination towards a specific caregiver.

Ames (2012) describes a child developmental stages as a challenging period, especially for two and a half-year-olds. At this stage, a child can often become edgy, rigid and explosive. In many cases, it becomes difficult for parents when explosive emotions take over. In addition, when this behaviour seems to become difficult to manage, it is argued by Ray (2015) that a stage of stability has given way to a stage of instability, which is part of the growth and developmental process. Erikson describes this stage as a “breakup, disturbed, troubled, at odd with self and environment” (Ray, 2015 p.7). Each individual child has his/her own twist on how to go through each stage. This phase is commonly known as terrible twos.

According to Erikson, the eight Stages of Development are Infancy, Toddler, Early Childhood, Elementary School Age, Adolescence, Young Adulthood, and Old Age. Each one of these stages portrays personality traits developed within the given timeframe. If a person was to grown up, and have an emotional turning point. How a person handles each crises, determines the course which our character becomes; and how we will handle conflict in the future. This is because each stage represents two basic concepts of life, reflecting the opposite. An example of this would be the Toddler stage where it represents the second year of a person’s life where they learn autonomy versus shame and doubt. According to Jeremy M. Burger’s, author of Personality Sixth Edition, definition of this stage:

more used to the words, like mom, milk, dad, no, that are recited to them frequently. At this stage,
