3 Problem Statement A child’s specialty is playing. Children learn most of their skills through play in their younger years (Harold, 2013). Many speech therapists use traditional or table-based therapy during their therapy sessions with children. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) created a new type of speech therapy to develop children’s speech based on a theory called play-based therapy (Wegner, 2016). Play-based therapy involves the use of enjoyable activities, such as cards and board games

CBT with children emphasizes the effects of maladaptive or dysfunctional beliefs and attitudes on current behavior. A presumption is made that a child’s reaction to an event is influenced by the meanings he or she attaches to the event. That is to say, emotional and behavioral responses to events in a person’s day-to-day life are a function of how these events are perceived and recalled, the attributions that are made about the causes of the event, and the ways in which the events affect one’s self-perceptions

The child I used for this experiment was my five year old cousin who is a female. I chose her because she was the only child I could think of who was around the most efficient early childhood age to test for her development of Seriation, Conservation, Delaying Gratification, and the double picture duck or bunny. I found the most suitable place to do these experiments at the dining table so that I’d have a nice flat surface to lay out all my testing material. There was only one experiment that required

Child psychology is a specialized branch of psychology that develops and applies scientific knowledge to the delivery of psychological services to infants, toddlers, children, and adolescents within their social context. It is an understanding of the basic psychological needs of children and adolescents, and how the family and other social contexts influence the socio-emotional adjustment, cognitive development, and behavioral adaptation and health status of children and adolescents.

As a professional in the early child development field, my understanding of the child development, from before conception to early childhood, has a great positive impact on my thoughts on child development and my perception of the child education. The course, Early Child Growth and Development offered essential information such as risk factors of prenatal development and child development. In addition, the course explained importance of nurture in child development. Moreover, the course created the

In 1932 Piaget was interested not in what children do but in what they think. Piaget was interested in children’s moral reasoning. The three main aspects of children’s understanding of moral issues were Children’s understanding of rules, Children’s understanding of moral responsibility and Children understands of justice. Piaget found that children’s ideas regarding rules, moral judgements and punishment tend to change as they got older. Moral development involves children learning how to tell the

A child's developmental stages are something that parents around the world can relate to. Knowing the different stages and how the stages represent themselves is key to understanding a child's behavior. Piaget's Theory of Cognitive development encompasses 4 stages. They are the sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and the formal operational. Since the first and last stages are for people outside the scope of what is being defined, they will not be included. There are many differences

The proposed study will be a quantitative pilot randomized control trial design to determine the feasibility and acceptability of the interventions, methodology and evaluation methods, as well as provide data to facilitate a randomized control study (Feely, et al., 2009). The study will evaluate the effects of the intervention on nerve impulse transmission to the brain, described in the pain gate theory, through comparison of preschool children’s perception of pain and physiological response in

During my first observation at UCF’s Creative School the age group I was able to watch was that of the toddlers. Through the course of this two hours I noticed two distinct behaviors that continually cropped up during my two hour observations. Firstly, the amount of dependency the toddlers had on the caregivers, and secondly, how the toddlers played amongst each other. The dependency is no surprise, and the best example of this came whenever a child needed to be changed, as a caregiver would have

The argument over the relationship, if any, between birth order and intelligence has sparked ongoing interest over the past century from both the general public as well as many notable scientists. Scholastic interest in the association between birth order and intelligence dates back to 1874 with Sir Francis Galton’s English Men of Science: Their Nature and Nurture. Galton, an English anthropologist and youngest of nine children, analyzed a small sample of 19th century English scientists and found
