The 40 Developmental Assets are crucial characteristics and encounters an adolescent should have in order for them to be successful, responsible, and beneficial adults. Based on scientific examination, these qualities intend to prevent minors from precarious actions and to create the ability to make positive choices that will ultimately benefit them. They are divided into external and internal assets, meaning events taking place in your life and what your response is to them. One external asset is a caring school environment, which is essential to a child improving their knowledge about the world and themselves. These assets are important because they delay or restrict the use of drugs, underage drinking, gambling, and violence. However, if

Additionally, supporting children’s holistic health and well-being will not only enhance their growth and development, but also increase their self-esteem and promotes motivation for example, ‘willingness’ to explore with peers, which will contribute to positive enforcement as they grow and develop. They will also feel value by others and will feel confident to take risks and challenges and to be able to problem solve effectively without fear or judgement .

When an infant arrives in the world they are helpless tiny humans who depend on adults for every need from love, to feeding them. It is amazing how these tiny babies grow into adults able to make decisions and become self-dependent. There are many theories about how children develop and what roles the environment plays, what people affect their lives and how events can shape their personalities. Some of these children have and easy life and some have a harder time making that journey to adulthood.

The main ideas in both CAFS 200: Introduction to child, adolescent, and family development and CHDV B20: Principles and Practices were focused on the developmental theory highlight as well as appropriate practices applied to programs and environments. These courses highlighted on the roles of relationships, interactions, and teaching strategies that would support physical, social, and creative development for all children. These courses taught us as students how to conduct observations, what to look for, and how to record the findings accurately.

This research article was an analysis run by Pashak, Handal, and Scales (2016) to evaluate the developmental assets model that has been effectively used on children to create a new survey to test on emerging adults. The researchers named their creation the Young Adult Developmental Assets Survey (YADAS). The Search Institute had already developed the 40 assets that were evaluated within YADAS, and as a nonprofit for advancement of health the institute has conducted research over the last 50 years on young people and their success or failure. Their model is one of the most widely cited youth development approaches. It is divided into categories of external assets or internal assets, both which aid in the formation of young people. Their model is known as the PSL-AB. Other researchers have studied what makes emerging adults (18-29) thrive in emerging adulthood, and those findings were also included in the introduction. For this study, researchers aimed to test the efficacy of the PSL-AB, and also to test if the program could act a support and intervention tool for universities to promote young adults’ mental and physical health.

The adolescent’s relationships with parents, siblings, and other family members are vital areas of assessment and change. The adolescent’s daily family environment provides many opportunities to re-trace the developmental difficulties of youth. This guideline places value on the

For my interview I chose the adolescence developmental stage. The person I interviewed was a 20 year old female. Her name was Taylor. This person was a close friend of mine and we met in the library at school. The interview started with me just asking simple questions like her age and where she lived. She is from a small town in Indiana and went to a small high school. She is currently working full time and going to school full time. She is a Criminal Justice major at Indiana University East. She is in her third year of school and graduates next year. She is doing well in school but seems very stressed.

Nature is inherited characteristic that affect development and nurture is environmental condition that effected development. They both have an influence on growth and development in children one way nature influences physical growth is if a child has a chronic illnesses such as asthma, epilepsy, kidney disease and multiple sclerosis. For example people who have multiple sclerosis have problems with their brain and spinal cord people with MS have weakness, tingling, numbness, blurred vison and muscle stiffness. Child who would be diagnosis with MS would have a hard time developing and growing because they man not be able to the things a normal child would be able to. Walking and trying to ride a bike might be harder for them than to a child

Developmental readiness is a crucial aspect of everyone’s life irrespective of age or strata. This developmental readiness focuses on physical, mental, attitudinal readiness of the individual, where a transition from one age group to another is successful. Time warping? Adults? Me? - Not likely – but it happened.  Time warping describes the time span from one age group to another, which may or may not be successful, depending on the ‘readiness’ of the individual.

The development of a child is viewed from a number of different perspectives by several developmental theorists. While some say that development continues throughout the life, others would hold an opinion that children stop to develop as soon as they mature. Therefore, lifespan developmental theorists have focused on a number of areas while studying the development of an individual. Some of these areas include cognitions, social development, sexual development, moral development and more. Each of these theories is important in order to completely analyze the process whereby which a child matures and transitions into an adult.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not youth assets in a community-based sample of racially and ethnically, as well as economically diverse youth. Youth assets are defined in the study as skills, competencies, relationships, and opportunities that aid in helping youth overcome adversities while transitioning into adulthood. The authors based their hypothesis on prior empirical studies that indicate that youth benefit from having assets.

What are the key principles of developmentally-appropriate practices? Explain the importance of NAEYC and share some of its goals.

One precious little girl, charming responses, and thirty well spent minutes adds up to a successful Piaget project. The time spent on interviewing a child for cognitive development was insightful, and gave me a first hand look at how a child’s mind matures with age.

The developmental Domains are an important part of early child development. As an educator or caregiver these milestones development must be taken seriously. A preschool teacher’s job is to observe for developmental delays(K.Bietz,2012). In the case study for Nathan and Angelica they both were developing at the right progress for their ages. The rate at which skills are achieved in developmental domains depends on each child(Chatterjee, 2011-2017).Nathan may be high in one domain such as language development. He is able to engage in a conservation when asked a question. When you ask him a question one on one, he speaks clearly(quarterlyassessment,2014).
