Development is not linear
Stella Chess
Easy (40%)
Regular routines, cheerful
Difficult (10%)
Irregular, slow to accept change Negative responder
Slow to warm (15%)
Inactive, mild low key Slow adjustment
Mixed (35%)
Alexander Thomas and Stella Chess
Easy
Temperament is innate
Easy: 40% of children • Regularity • Positive approach • High adaptability • Mildly to moderately intense mood Sleep through the night, coo etc.
- Parent needs to spend separate time with child since he can be forgotten
- May do what other’s wants even though no in best interest
- Child is trusting
- Teach child how to develop own rules
Alexander Thomas and Stella Chess
Difficult
Difficult: 10% of children Irregularity of biological functioning Negative withdrawal in response to new stimuli, non adaptability Slow adaptability Intense mood
Parent needs to be
- Firm and consistent
- Patient
- Gradual repeated reinforcement of positive and
negative for expected
- Give minimum number of rules for any one time
- Provide venue to extra emotions and energy
Alexander Thomas and Stella Chess
Slow to warm up
Slow to warm up: 15% of children: - negative mood of mild intensity - Slow adaptability to new situations - Parent need to maintain calm as anger accelerates for child’s reaction - Do not compete with child - Repetition is needed - Maintain consistent rules
Alexander Thomas and Stella Chess
Goodness of Fit
Goodness of Fit
Central is understanding how child’s temperament on
the family
Impact of temperament on child’s adaptive functioning
Child’s temperament fits with parental goals, standards, and values that affects the nature of the parent’s responses to the child.
Difference between there are differences between parental expectation and the child’s temperament “poor fit”
Stages of Cognitive Development - Jean Piaget (First 2)
- Sensorimotor Stage:
Birth to 2 years old
• No thinking structures - Preoperational Stage:
2-7 years old
• Develop language skills cognitive structures – prelogical
Stages of Cognitive Development - Jean Piaget (Second 2)
3. Concrete Operational Stage: 7 years to Adolescence – • Begins to question life. • Solves problems but haphazardly • Mass, number, linear time • Deductive reasoning
- Formal Operations Stage:
Adolescence and onward –
• capable of sophisticated logical thought.
• Can think both abstract and hypothetically
• Solves problems using the logic of combinations
