Early Childhood Stage of Development
The developmental period known as early childhood ranges from the years two to six. These years are often called the play years. During this time play flourishes and supports all of the phases of life. Early childhood has many physical developments like body growth, brain development, and motor development. During this time both gross and fine motor skills develop dramatically. Children can walk upstairs with alternating feet, ride a tricycle, and even catch a ball with their hands. They can also put on and remove simple clothing items, feed themselves, and draw their first pictures of people.
For our team presentation we chose to do an obstacle course

Our fourth obstacle is also dealing with colors. There are three cones setup. Under each cone is a car. Two cars are blue and the other car is silver. CJ's job is to find the silver car. He must look under the cones until he finds the silver car. Next is another physical activity. CJ must stand a certain distance, measured by a piece of tape, from a bucket. The object is to throw the three balls into the bucket. This tests the development of arm motion and coordination. Finally, the last obstacle deals with conservation. Conservation is the idea that physical characteristics of objects remain the same when their outward appearance changes. This comes from Piaget's preoperational stage. We had two glass filled with the same amount of liquid. CJ was asked if the two glass had the same amount. Next we poured one glass of liquid into a bowl, and asked if they had the same amount or if one had more. Of course CJ could not answer this question. In early childhood, children cannot conserve.
All of the cognitive activities deal with Piaget's theory. In early childhood, children move from the sensorimotor to the preoperational stage. During this stage there is a drastic increase in representational, or symbolic activity. In Piaget's theory on education, he believed in three principles. He believed in discovery learning, which states that children are

1. From birth to 19 years of age, children and young people tend to follow a broad developmental plan. Although children and young people are different, the way they grow and develop is often quite similar. This means we can work out a pattern for development and from this we can pinpoint particular skills or milestones that most children can do at different age ranges. Milestones describe when particular skills are achieved, such as walking, usually achieved by 18 months. These milestones have been draw up by researchers looking at children’s development and working out an average from their recordings. However as children grow older the variations between individuals grow
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.
Throughout the history of childhood development poor social and economic conditions contributed to the many hardships and poor treatment of children. During the early Middle Ages the "paternalist" family concept evolved and the father had authority and control over family matters including the welfare and safety of his wife and children. Discipline was severe, young children both poor and wealthy were subjected to strict rules and regulations and often beaten if disobedient. Children took on the responsibilities of adults at an early age, sharing in the work of siblings and parents. Girls from affluent families were educated at home and married in their teens. Some males were educated at a monastery and others became apprentices to
• Authoritative parenting is attentive to their children’s needs and will typically forgive and teach versus punishment for the child’s short comings. The result is the children have a higher self-esteem and independence. This is most recommended parenting style by experts.
I was born on November 22, 1980 at approximately 2:18 a.m., in Richmond Hill Ontario. My birth weight was 8lbs. 7oz. and I was 14 in. long. My mother was thirteen days overdue with me. As I grew older I seemed to develop at a normal pace. Crawling at eight months, walking at thirteen months and talking fluently at 32 months

The purpose of this applied homework is to understand the parents’ perception of their children development and experiences of transition into parenthood, and applies the knowledge learnt from the classes into interviewee’s real life experiences, trough an interview of a parent who has a baby around age 6 months – 2 years old.
The early childhood years are important for children with disabilities and developing slowly as they are for all children. All their future improvement depends on the basic learning pattern set during this time.
The developmental stages of childhood are recognizable – and the number of stages and emotional milestones between birth and the age of two is incredible. The actual timeline will vary between infants, but the path is virtually the same. Major life changes will often result in noticeable disruptions or deviations or reversals of the development stages of the infant experiencing the change. One such “major life change” is adoption.

To preschool or not to preschool, that is the question. How to tell if your kid is ready for preschool?
Human development is an essential aspect in early childhood education. This essay is going to discuss about three human development theorists, Urie Bronfenbrenner, John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth’s theories. Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems theory, Bowlby’s Attachment theory, Stages of attachment and the study Harlow’s Monkeys and Ainsworth’s “Strange Situation” research and three types of attachments that are Secure Attachment, Insecure Ambivalent/Resistant and Insecure Avoidant, which are all concerned with socio-cultural theory, will be analysed.
My thoughts and views about early childhood education on how children learn and many other things that come with it. Children can learn by playing in other words, learning what they can and cannot do while they are playing. Learning can also be social and by doing; for instance, children can do something their own way, see somebody else doing it another way and they might want to do it the same way as another child did. Or a child can learn things on their own with no help from another child. Or there can be stages, of which a child can go through while they are growing up. And throughout those stages a child can go through different developments and gain, but also have lessons to each stage they are going through in life. When
