Developmental task
a set of skills and competencies peculiar to each developmental stage that children must accomplish to master in order to deal effectively with their environment
Psychosexual development (Freud)
- Id: unconscious mind, inborn component driven by instinct; pleasure seeking
- Ego: conscious mind, reality principle
- Superego: conscience, moral compass
- Stages of psychosexual development
freud oral
Oral stage (birth to 1yr): during infancy, major source of pleasure associating with oral activities ex. Sucking, biting, chewing, vocalizing
freud anal
Anal stage (1 to 3yrs): interest centers around the anal region as sphincter muscles develop, and children are able to withhold or expel fecal material
phallic freud
Phallic stage (3 to 6yrs): genitalia become an interesting and sensitive area, child becomes aware or gender differences
latency frued
Latency (6 to 12 years): during the latency period, children elaborate on previously acquired traits and skills; vigorous activity and play
frued Genital stage
Genital stage (12 and older): puberty and maturation of reproductive system and production of sex hormones
Psychosocial development (Erikson) stage 1
Stage 1: trust vs. mistrust (birth to 1yr) - establishment of basic trust dominates first year of life and describes all of the child’s satisfying experiences at this age; mistrust develops when basic needs are not met; result is faith and optimism
Psychosocial development (Erikson) stage 2
Stage 2: autonomy vs. shame and doubt (1 to 3yrs) – development of autonomy is centered around the children’s increasing ability to control their bodies; doing things for themselves; doubt and shame arise when children are made to feel small and self-conscious, when othersshame them; favorable outcomes are self-control and willpower
Psychosocial development (Erikson) stage 3
Stage 3: initiative vs. guilt (3 to 6yrs) – vigorous intrusive behaviour and strong imagination; children explore physical world, develop conscience; must learn to retain a sense of initiative without impinging on rights and privileges of others; outcomes are direction and purpose
Psychosocial development (Erikson) stage 4
Stage 4: industry vs. inferiority (6 to 12yrs) – ready to be workers and producers; want to engage in tasks and activities, feelings of inadequacy or inferiority develop if too much is expected or cannot measure up to standards; competence developed
Psychosocial development (Erikson) stage 5
Stage 5: identity vs. role confusion (12 to 18yrs) – development of identity is characterized by rapid and marked physical changes; struggle to fit into roles; inability to solve core conflict results in role confusion
Cognitive development (Piaget) sensorimotor stage
(birth to 2 years): infants learn about the world by input obtained through senses and by their motor activity
- Use of reflexes, primary circular reactions, secondary circular reactions, coordination of secondary schemes, tertiary circular reactions, mental combinations
- Object permanence: realization that objects that leave the visual field still exist
Pre-operational piaget
(2 to 7 years): young child thinks by using words as symbols, but logic isn’t well developed
-Pre-conceptual stage (2 - 4 years): vocabulary and comprehension increase greatly, child is egocentric (unable to see things from another’s perspective)
- intuitive sub stage (4 – 7 years): child relies on transductive reasoning
Concrete operational piaget
(7 to 11 years): transductive reasoning has given way to more accurate understanding of cause and effect
Formal operational piaget
(11 to adulthood): fully mature intellectual though has now been attainedFormation of abstract thought

Pain Measurements Behavioural
Behavioural - most effective when measuring short procedural pain; not effective in lost lasting pain; mostly used on children who do not have language skills to communicate pain;
-FLACC: facial expression, leg movement, activity, cry, and consolability
-FACES: for young children-
OUCHER: children 3-13 yr-Poker chip tool: children as young as 4
-Word-graphic rating scale: children 4-17 years-Numeric scale: children as young as 5 years-vocal protest, less motor activity, more verbal expression, increased muscle tension
