Explain in your own words the following: A. FREEDOM IN A PREPARED ENVIRONMENT B. THE SENSITIVE PERIODS C. NORMALISATION D. ABSORBENT MIND A) FREEDOM IN A PREPARED ENVIRONMENT All over the world in constitutions of countries freedom is enshrined. This freedom applies not only to the adult but also to the child. For it is in freedom that a child reveals himself. Therefore a directress in a prepared environment must have the opportunity to observe the child in a free and open environment. Also the child’s inner guide must be allowed to direct the child’s growth. Thus a child will be aided to grow through independence and must be allowed growth through his inn guide. This is because a child uses his environment to grow. …show more content…
He is thus allowed to grow at his own rate and development. In conclusion freedom allow a child grow by removing obstacles which can impede his normal development. The freeing of a child consists in removing as far as possible these obstacles that will deter true development in a child. Thus to objectively achieve these demands objectively a close attention must be on the part of the adult. (B) THE SENSTITIVE PERIOD The sensitive period is a delicate and transitory period helping the child with the purpose of formation. This urge helps him to focus his attention on certain aspects of his environment with such congruency that he excludes other things. As a result of the meeting of minds between this inner urge and this activities; the child completes it and feels excited and stronger. This inner urge can be likened to an intrinsic weaving of the thread of life. The importance of the sensitive period abound as they help in later years to assist in the development of concentration and intellectual powers. Sensitive periods in language have been identified; a child who without prior formal lessons, without conscious effort learns to pronounce the language he hears perfectly. It has been identified that the sensitive period for language has already begun in the child before he can walk and talk. By four months through the watchful eyes of a child he starts making vague
The communication with your child starts way before the youngster can speak. From their cry, smile, and the responses they give you to help you understand his or her needs. Language developments have different stages that children pass through to assist them in the development of speech and languages. There are a plethora of factors which can inhabitants’ a child language development. However, these are amongst the top causes for language development such as a child’s inborn ability to learn language and the language the child hears.
Freedom is among the most desired aspect by individuals in the society. All individuals like to be free from being hindered to involve in activities and actions that they want. When freedom is explained, the main aspect that majority of the individuals think about are physical restrictions to aspects like movements and being forced to involve in actions that individuals are not willing to involve in. It is due to this reason that prisoners are considered the individuals whose freedom has been alienated. Overtime however, many authors have carried out research and provided literal materials explaining the aspects of freedom. These individual have elaborated the meaning of freedom, an aspect that has extended its understanding

Freedom has been an ongoing dilemma throughout history and even in present day. Although not apparent, freedom comes in two forms, which are negative and positive freedom. Positive freedom, often called coercion, is about the opportunity or freedom to do something. In other words, it is when someone or something interferes in someone's life to make rational choices for them. This can be observed in the day to day life, as we have a constitution with laws and rules that we have to abide by. Giving people the freedom to do something encourages them to “develop and ultimately achieve self-realization”. Negative freedom is the freedom from things and are not interfered from any other authority. In other words, it is an aspect where only you could control what you decide to do. As opposed to positive freedom, negative freedom is an asocial view on freedom. Although there is no external restraint on an individual, there is internal restraint. An example of a negative freedom would be the freedom of speech and freedom or religion.These opposing outlooks on freedom are equally important as it constitutes the accord between the people and its
This child observation will draw on a child developmental theory to discuss the activities of the child I have observed. I will comment on the child’s physical growth and development, cognitive abilities, health, social relationships and emotional wellbeing. I will also look at the child’s interaction with other children and adults , in order to appreciate the child’s development and account for differences and similarities as proffered by my chosen theory of Attachment.
The article For the Love of Language by Geoffrey Cowley was published by Your Child's First Steps on October 2000. The author focuses on the importance of language and how children develop their language skills. Cowley states that the journey towards language starts in the womb and that babbling is the first step towards fluent speaking. Children also start associating names with objects around age one and children around two years old start to connect noun phrases with verb phrases. And lastly, children around seven months do not just seek out associations between words, but also extract principles governing word order. Cowley also uses terms like cochlear implant, mimicry, simple conditioning, operant conditioning, and specific language impairment (SLI).
Poverty is a chronic issue not just within the United States but throughout the whole world, but one thing that people tend to overlook is the effect that poverty has on childhood. Many children grow up in poverty and the effects can last for a life time. For many of these kids who grow up in these conditions the effects include poor health, a high risk for teen pregnancy, and the lack of an education.
Since a person to be regarded as free must be in a position to act unobstructed by others, it follows then that when others prevents him or her from doing what he or she could otherwise do, then it can be asserted that the person is to that degree unfree. A negative liberty is characterized by the absence of coercion and enslavement. Berlin highlights that the wider the range of non-interference, the greater the freedom. He also holds that there is a great need to have a divide between the public and the private sectors since for purposes of pursuing the human good, it is necessary to have a minimum range of personal freedom. In other terms, there are some limits put to freedom so that interests of other values can be protected. Precisely, freedom is subjected to some limits so that the powerful can be prevented from depriving the weak off their
* All humans are born free and equal in dignity and rights; everyone has duties to the community in which alone the free and full development of his personality is possible
To begin, I believe freedom needs to be repeatedly won, or obtained, in many homes, among many families. Sometimes, the freedom you have in your home is dependent on certain things. For instance, your age or your gender. Age overrules gender in most cases, but gender can still affect this. Age affects things like, when you have to go to sleep, when you have to come home, and the things you may do. When you grow older, your freedoms begin to change a little bit, but still, parents are still protective over what you do. This is because you will start to make your own decisions, at parties or other places, and most the time, your decisions may not be the greatest ones.
The Montessori method began in the early 1900's by the first female doctor in Italy, Dr. Mary Montessori, as a way of educating mentally disabled children. Her ideas were so successful with these children that she began to apply her understanding of learning to study the potential of normally functioning children (Oalf, 2001). Dr. Montessori's approach to education stresses the importance of learning styles, independence and responsibility.
There are several theories regarding language development. Work by Chomsky, Piaget and Kuhl are critical. Studies by Chomsky, as examined by Albery, Chandler, Field, Jones, Messer, Moore and Sterling (2009); Deloache, Eisenberg & Siegler (2003) argued for the innateness of language acquisition due to its complexity. Development is assisted by a language acquisition device (LAD) and universal grammar both of which holding the propensity for commonalities throughout all languages. LAD is the key to the Syntax rule. The knowledge to master the rules is held unconsciously. Chomsky concludes exposure through auditory channels as being the only requirement for learning. Arguably Kuhl (2010) writes infantile exposure to language through auditory channels only, does not contribute effectively to learning indicating the importance of human interaction. Piaget, as discussed by Ault (1977) postulated language as not being part of the earliest stages of development. Signifying within sensorimotor stage, between birth and two years, the child’s development is too reflexive. Gleitman, Fridlund and Reisberg (2004) discuss the critical period hypothesis and suggest the young brain being more suited to acquisition than the adult brain. Lenneberg (1967) (as cited in Gleitman et al 2004) advocates, brain maturation closes language acquisition capacity window. Kuhl (2010) identified, within the critical period babies develop
One early example of freedom is a child finally gaining the right to leave the cul-de-sac or the immediate area of their house to explore the rest of the neighborhood for the first time. Every child is curious and full of the will to
Freedom means, to carry out one own choices, actions without coercion or constraint by necessity or circumstances. Fate often take a hand in the distillation of freedom. When this distillation occurs at weaker levels, benevolent slavery begins. A benevolent master usually receives gratitude from those slaves who are aware of their good fortune and will, in turn, work willingly. This form of slave's future is relatively certain, assured and predictable. Their offspring, born into a benevolent slavery, find the thought of freedom disturbing.
The notion of “critical period” closely connecting with “plasticity” for language acquisition is a period, somewhere in childhood or at puberty, after which leaning language becomes markdly more difficult. First proposed by Lenneberg in 1967, Critical Period Hypothesis predicts that “younger is bertter”, complete acquisition of speech can occur only before the end of neurological plasticity and speech acquired after this event will be acquired more slowly and will be less successful. He notes that the age at which persistent aaphasic symptoms result from left-hemisphere injury is approximately the same age,around puberty, at which “foreign accent” became likely in SLA. Researchers differ over when this eriod comes to an end. A particularly convincing study made by Johnson and Newport suggests that the period ends at about age 15. grammaticality judgment was tested in a large group of subjects who had immigrated to the United States at
