Question 1

Which theorist or theory describing development do you agree with the most? Summarize this theory and describe why you agree with it.

Answer 1

I agree with Piaget’s theory about cognitive development. The theory is about what the children should be able to think at the certain age period, if they are accomplished this stage then they cannot move on to next stage. Which I think it is correct. They have to go through Sensorimotor stage, preoperational stage, concrete operational stage, then formal operational stage. Each individual vary in times, but they need to be successful in previous stage to be able to move on next stage. No one can skip from stage one to last stage. Everyone may learn and have different experience to accomplish the stage.

Describe two applications of Piaget’s Preoperational stage to early childhood education.

In your description, be sure to explain these applications and how they connect with Piaget’s theory.

Answer 14

Two of the following need to be described: waiting for a child’s natural abilities to unfold and not rushing learning before the child is ready—this is has to do with Piaget’s focus on “nature” and abilities naturally unfolding, discovery learning—this has to do with Piaget’s emphasis on experimentation on objects for cognitive development, individual differences in learning—this again has to do with “nature” and the emphasis on individual development.

Assimilation and accommodation both involve processing new information. Assimilation is when you use existing schemes to make sense of new information. An example of this would be when a person is cooking and they come across a term they do not recognize in the recipe, they use context clues to figure out the meaning. Accommodation is when you take in new information and relate it to existing schemas. An example of this would be when a person is in school and associates a new concept with something they have already learned. A personal example I have of accommodation is from learning new concepts in this class and associated to existing things I have learned

Thoroughly answer the essay question. Essays should be written incomplete sentences.
Describe what you learned about infant-parent attachment in the module. The approximate length of the description should be a short paragraph, and it should include sufficient detail on what you learned. Then, describe how your current knowledge on this topic compares to what you knew before taking this module. Finally, describe your views on the following issues: a) how applicable is attachment theory to everyday life and working with infants, and b) what misconceptions about attachment do you think people have, and what is a correct understanding of how to apply this attachment theory?

Answer 67

Your Answer:
Infant - parent attachment is the close bonding relationship formed between a child and the mother or mother figure who cares for them. I also learnt that children can form attachment as a result of their temperament which explains that nature and nurture combined results in the kind of attachment that children end up forming with their care givers. The kind of bond formed by children in their early lives also show the kind of intimate bonds they would form as adults. There are different types of Infant parent attachment according to Anisworth. we have the Securely attached children, The avoidant children and the non-secured attached children. The Secured children where children who had bonded properly with their parents because they received the right responsive behavior to their needs from their sensitive parents. They feel loved and they are easily soothed by their parents. In Mary Anisworths experiment, they do nor cry so much when their care giver leaves them in unfamiliar environment, they also unite properly with their care giver and continue to seek a strong bond with them. They do not relate so well around strangers but would explore their environment properly when they are around their care giver. The Avoidant attached children avoid their parents and care giver by not keeping a eye contact, they are soothed both by the stranger and caregiver in same way. They do not really unite properly with their caregiver but do so in an avoidant manner. This is practically because their needs have not been responded too in a timely manner and they have adapted to it. The Non-Secured children do not fuss at all when their care giver leaves them in an unfamiliar situation or environment. These are usually kids that have not been responded to at all by their care givers. They are usually neglected. They are not bothered about reuniting or forming a close bond with their care givers. Children in this category are usually children who are abused or live in abused environments. I am more knowledgeable about how children grow attachment to their parents now especially in terms of the Childs temperament. prior to this module I felt that parents had the total control and responsibility of how they are bonded with their kids but now I know better in terms of the child’s temperament. An independent child would not be so needed and would not require so much responsiveness from the mother. Also for children who are highly sensitive. And so we cannot blame parents all the time that they are mostly insensitive to their children’s needs.

A. Attachment theory is applicable to everyday life and working with infants because in my opinion, it eases the guilt that parents feel, especially working parents when they need to leave their children alone for a while, knowing that you cannot always be with your children all the time for them to be securely bonded with you or not. Knowing a child’s temperament help you understand when a child is truly needy or just being fussy this goes a long way to ease the nerves of their care givers also.
B. Misconception people have is that parents, that is nurturing is the only way that children get properly bonded with their parents but this is not so. As earlier mentioned, nature and nurture play different roles when it comes to infant parent attachment. Also, parents can not stay with their children all day long with this information there would be less guilt in how parents interact with their children especially parents who are willing to respond properly and timely to their children’s needs.

Question 78

Short essay questions should be answered in full sentences.
The module discussed common consequences of divorce on children.

Answer 78

Your Answer: some common consequences of divorce on children would be:
Age; For younger children, they might not understand that basis for the divorce and might end up blaming themselves for it causing them to become fussy, whine and cry unnecessarily. But for older children they exhibit external behaviors like rebellion and having problems at school or either the law or internalize their pain and becoming depressed or having a low self esteem
Gender; girls are usually less affected than boys if the grow up in a single mothers home after divorce and the boys are prone to become delinquent but, for girls, when the mother remarries, they tend to become rebellious at that point. Hence divorce plays out differently in children depending on if they are girls or boys and also depending on their age.

Thoroughly answer the essay question. Answers should be written in complete sentences.
Describe in detail the two courses of juvenile delinquency. Then, describe in detail two of Garbarino’s recommendations for how to intervene in the life of an individual troubled teenage boy. Do you think these recommendations are likely to work? Why or why not?

Answer 80

Your Answer: Two causes of juvenile delinquency are, Adolescence Limited and Life Course Persistent. Adolescence Limited is a point in the teenagers life where he acts irrational and puts up behaviors that seem like he has the tendency to commit crime in the future but as time goes on he begins to behave in aright way. Life-Course Limited in this type of delinquency, the teenager acts irrationally and has an aggressive nature and usually has a problem with the law that is repeated even in the long term of his life. They do not usually straighten out and this could be due to the environment or nurturing that they might have had. Gabriano’s recommendations for how to intervene in the life of an individual troubled teenage boy are letting them have mentors that they can trust, joining a group like sport groups that could help lift their self-esteem, teaching them empathy, teaching them spirituality and shielding them from inappropriate media especially at that young age. Teaching them Empathy: Teaching teenage boys on how to put themselves in others shoes helps the behave properly in the long run. They are thought to get in touch with their inner selves and feelings and not try to put on a so called “manly act” proving to be strong by acting violent and aggressive without caring about other peoples emotions. Shielding Teenage Boys from Violent Media: both from the television and devices and even in the home. This will help shape their minds about what right living looks like. The eyes is the mind of the soul and whatever they are able to consume through their eyes goes a long way. I think theses recommendations are likely to work because most times young teenagers always copy whatever behavior they have modeled before them and so if they are privilegded to have the right models then they will act right. Also teaching them to be empathetic goes a long way, helps them develop emotional intelligence and do right by others. If a lot of people put others in their shoes they would treat people right and in so doing behave right all the time.
