The Growth Of A Kid

This study has helped in the understanding of criminal behaviour as children learn through imitation and the environment which they grow up in have an effect on their behaviour. If a child has been brought up around abuse, criminal activity or consistent aggression then the child is most likely to offend by imitating their role model which could be a parent, sibling or even just a role model which they look up to.

Right from birth children develop their behaviour and social skills from what they experience at home. This experience should be caring, loving and supportive, it should provide children with the opportunity to develop and interact as much as possible. Children need to be exposed to as many experiences as feasible, so that not only can they learn and develop, but they can have their main carers/parents support. This will allow a child to learn to deal with different situations.

Environment: Socialisation is important for children. Parents who offer their children varied opportunities in which to meet new people and experience new things give their children an invaluable gift. When they are babies, children need no more than the attentive, loving care given by their parents, but as they grow, it is beneficial for children to expand their worlds by making friends with other people and learning about different cultures. Children who gain a sense of confidence in their ability to interact with people will take them into adulthood making both their personal and professional lives

Environmental factors - if a child’s house is not maintained in a proper way it negatively affects their developments. If a house does not have proper

| By this age the child likes to begin to explore and they are able to respond to the simple directions that they are given, can group objects by category, are able to stack rings on pegs in the order of the size (big to small), able to recognize themselves when looking in the mirror and finally they still like imitating more complex adult actions for example housekeeping play.

Physical development 0-3 years they are able to feed themselves at the snack table. Nod or shake their heads to say if they want something. If playing shops they should be able to push the trolley and walk at the same time. Be able to kick a ball independently. Showing control when pouring milk/water into a cup. Start making lines and circles when scribbles during mark making. Making bigger towers.

Children model their own behaviour on others and if adults can effectively communicate and exchange age or developmental appropriate information with children this can encourage them to behave in acceptable ways. Frustration at their own inability to communicate effectively can lead to behavioural problems.

In this short video, there is a toddler about two years old (as stated by the original poster of the video in a comment below). She is playing with a kitchen set, pretending and using her imagination (ex. pretending there is ketchup in the play ketchup bottle when she puts it on her toy’s food). She is demonstrating imitation, by copying behavior that she has seen before. We can assume that this is from a parent/guardian working in the kitchen and serving food. Children learn most from observation of important people in their lives as well as their surrounding environment. This role play has her cooking and serving her stuffed animal and doll seated at the table. She is talking to herself and her toys, babbling nonsense, as she makes the food

The kid in the experience in growth is constantly not quite the same as other kids. This is on account of kids originate from various social foundations and affiliations. The connection that exists between a parent and a tyke is constantly vital as it furnishes them with a chance to find vital lessons about existence. Theodore Roethke in his lyric, The poem provides the gathering of people with a man who thinks back on his adolescence and his issues with his dad reviewing the way they used to identify with each other. Albeit a few people see pessimistic viewpoints in the connection amongst father and child, in the kid 's perspective, their life is a constructive one. Through the speaker, the writer brings out various topical components,

For example we learn human behaviour and our primary socialisation skills from our parents from a young age for example eating habits, speaking, walking standing etc and this can also be seen by parents learning their children to play with toys for example girls watch their parents washes the dishes, hovering and they copy. This is also seen by children copying their mums by wanting to put make up on.

They hypothesized when children are presented with either aggressive or nonaggressive behaviors from their models, the children will readily imitate the behaviors. The test subjects in this case were pre-school aged children from the Stanford University Nursery; 36 males and 36 females aged from 37 months to 69 months, the mean age being 52 months. In this study, the independent variable was either an aggressive or a nonaggressive model. The aggressive models would spend their first minute quietly playing with the toys in the room and would spend the rest of the time using a sequence of aggression they repeated three times: laid Bobo on its side, sat on it and punched it in the nose, raised it, struck it on the head with a mallet, tossed it aggressively and kicked it around the room. The children in the control group were given no adult model. The dependent variable was the imitative physical aggression displayed by the children; three judges recorded the children’s behavior every five seconds for 20 minutes, whether the child had struck the Bobo doll with the mallet, sat on it and punched it in the nose, kicked it, or tossed it in the air. The children who observed the aggressive model had higher levels of imitative physical aggression (M = 12.725, p < .001) than the children who observed the nonaggressive model (M = 1.05) and the control (M = 1.6) groups. It is important to note this is experimental research. This is when the scientist uses a systematic and scientific approach to the scientific method where variables are manipulated. In this study a behavioral perspective was taken as how the behaviors of the children were affected by certain role models. Bandura, Ross, and Ross concluded at the end of this study the observation of cues produced by the behavior of others is effective in eliciting a certain response.

4- The terrorist groups beheading children. The Terrorist groups in Iraq and Syrian have used different ways to kill people. ISIS used the worst way to kill Iraqi and Syrian children. One of the many horribleness stories related with the armed clash between the ISIS Islamic State of Iraq and Syria jihadist group and government forces in Syria and Iraq is the claim that ISIS fighters have been beheading even children or specifically Christian children in the areas they occupied. The report said, they used the worst way for people non-Muslims ultimatums to convert, pay fines, or suffer death by the sword. In particular, Mark Arabo, an American businessman and humanitarian who is a national spokesman for Iraqi Christians, has been making appearances

The psychosocial theory provides solid explanation of toddlerhood.  One of the aspects that Newman and Newman write and theorize about in toddlerhood is the concept of imitation as the central process in which toddlers engage (2012, p. 226).  Being the central process, it must be argued that imitation is absolutely crucial during this stage of development.   Imitation can be both verbal and physical, such as repeating what is said and mimicking the dancing moves they see (Newman &amp; Newman, 2012, p. 226).

If we always use these two methods to teach and guide our children, it will create reverse effect on children development in term of the behaviors, temperament and their socialize skill, children were not easily to gain trust from their parents, a boundaries relationship toward children and parent, children will have low self –esteem and sense of their own pride and reputation will be low in their learning stages.

The subject of my growth and development observation is VL, an outgoing and jolly young girl who recently turned 4 years old. She was born in South Dakota and her family moved here in California when she was only three months old. She came from an interracial family. Her mother is from a Caucasian-Adventist background while her father is Filipino-Catholic. Her parents separated before VL was born but remained good friends for the children. She lives with her mother, grandmother and older brother since birth and is able to see and spend time with her father and paternal grandparents at least once every week. Her paternal side also has large family gatherings that allows her to spend time with her aunts, uncles and cousins and to learn
