Your Child's Emotional and Behavioral Development, by T. Berry Brazelton and Joshua D. Sparrow

In this writing it will be discussing childhood development, as well as some vital issues that might come along during those stages of development. Child development consist of the stage where the child is developing physically, cognitively, socially and spiritually. During these stages of development a child is maturing from infancy to becoming a young adult. For many years theorist such as Sigmund Freud, Erik Erikson, and Lev Vygotsky’s have researched how children mature from infants to adulthood. Each of the theorist have profound facts to how children develop, but which of the three men are correct on their findings?

Young children often can be overwhelmed by their emotions and not know how to express them. This tends to lead toward temper tantrums, biting, and hitting. By letting them know that I am next to them and can talk them through what they might be feeling, they learn how to express their feelings in a safe way. I also support their learning by being engaged in the learning process. I will model how to do certain things, repeat their words or expressions, and develop appropriate activities for them to explore.

The aim of this assignment is to compare, contrast and also critically evaluate all of the strategies which include a strength based approach to support the positive parenting in respect of a child 's physical, cognitive and social emotional learning development. The first two years of any child 's life are the most critical and important when it comes to their personal development when growing up. They are essential to the cognitive, physical, social and emotional development. Many theorists have suggested that is a child is brought up where their developmental needs are not being met from either circumstances like their home, school environment or parenting, which means that they are more at risk of experiencing learning delays in the

This group of students is quite diverse. This group of fourth grade students also exhibit diversity from their home life, culture, and socioeconomic areas. This school has over an eighty percent ration of students on free or reduced lunches. Religious diversity also plays a part in this group of children. These children break up into social groups based along these lines of diversity.

And by the age of 3, most produce sentences as readily as laughter and tears. With vocabulary comes meaning culture, identity. Words become communication. Parents, grandparents and other family members inculcate traditional values and language-the mother tongue. That mother tongue creates the world in which the child learns to pray and

In order to understand the role of language in a child’s life, it is imperative to be able to understand the importance of language that a child sees. This includes having the ability to both read and write. In 1871, Charles Darwin wrote that man is born with the natural instinct to speak, but not with the instinct to write (Perera, Aparici, Rosado and Salas, 2015, p. 18). Writing was invented by humans to aid in the process of communication, and is deemed a necessary aspect in the process of a child’s language development (Ljungdahl, & March, 2014, p. 261).

The first two years of a child's life is a period of remarkable growth and development. During this period, children develop motor, social and cognitive skills that will serve them for the rest of their lives. But of all human faculties, the one that is most often noted as being uniquely human is language.

In this essay I am going to show my understanding of a child's early emotional development based on the psychoanalytical view of child development. I will show how emotional skills gained in the early years can be of a significant relevance to later life. I will show my understanding by illustrating it with the clinical material. Although I am focusing on the psychoanalytical approach to child development I believe that it is beneficial to present also some general background knowledge of child development.

Language development entails the abilities of listening and understanding, and has proven the fact that babies still in the womb attend to the sounds of language from their environment. Language ability is defined as a representational thinking meaning having the know how to use things like symbol or images as a mental reminder. Researcher Vygotsky have the notion that language develops mainly from social interactions and used for communication purposes. (Weisberg, 2013). Play is a very vital instrument in language development for children ages 3 to 5 as it incorporates many of the socially interactive and cognitive elements that are needed to enhance this skill. Young children learn to make up words from the sounds they hear then try to figure out the meaning of them by combining them with their environment which results in a major achievement for them when reached. Interesting enough it is proven that by age 5 – 6 children has the capacity to recall parts of stories begin to tell stories and can recite their address, name etc. It is said that toddlers learn to speak words and a remarkable pace and hence grasp the understanding of how to use language to express their needs or even engaging in a short conversation.

From a baby 's first word to their first complete sentence, there 's a lot to debate with their language development. The average child has a vocabulary of up to six-thousand words by the time they turn five years old (Brighthubcom, 2016). Language development is one of the most critical roles for an educator in both early childhood and primary settings. It is this ability of language development that is particularly interesting in the nature vs nurture debate. In order for educators to provide effective communication, it is important that they have the knowledge and understanding of the four key concepts of language, such as phonological, syntactic, semantic and pragmatic development and the underlying theoretical perspectives that explain the processes of language acquisition and development.

According to childstats.gov since 1985 nearly one in four children with a working mother goes to daycare. Children’s social and emotional development are greatly impacted due to the extended amount of time children are in daycare and not cared for by their maternal mother. Behavioral problems, aggressive behavior, resolving conflict, and lower academic performance is examples of these adverse impacts. These negative social and emotional consequences of day care on children range from early childhood and continue into their teens.

The difference in emotional and intellectual development levels can be seen in Chris when he often acts like a child despite having a college diploma. When Chris gets his job at the McDonalds he makes a clear effort to show that his managers, or anyone else, do not have power over him. McDonalds requires that all its employees wear socks to work; this proves problematic as Chris abhors wearing socks and gets into an argument with a manger over the issue. While he does eventually succumb to the policy, he makes a clear effort to show that the power his managers have over him is conditional. ”Kind of like a statement, to let us know we didn’t own him, I guess.” Krakauer notes that as soon as his shift ends, the first thing he would do is

Gary is a thick shouldered, brawny, twelve year old boy that gets into a lot of fights. Julien is a soccer kid in Gary’s grade that gets exceptional grades. Jason is a kid in Julien and Gary’s grade that has his mind elsewhere all the time. Al is a twelve year old in Gary, Jason and Julien's class that has a terrible temper, and bullies little kids for lunch money which he shares with the others, which they turn down.
