- But the _____ of development varies from child to child
- (2) Directions
- G_____ to Sp_____
- continuous
- same sequence
- rate differs

Attachment Theory
Explains how the parent and child relationship =
- Infants are born biologically pre-programmed to form attachments with others for ______
Emerges and influences subsequent development (developed by john bowl)
- survival
Stages of Attachment
- Pre-attachment: Birth to 6 weeks =
- Indiscriminate: 6 weeks to 7 months =
- Discriminate: 7+ months =
- Multiple: 10+ Months =
- Baby shows no particular attachment to specific caregiver
- Infant begins to show preference for primary and secondary caregivers
- Infant shows strong attachment to one specific caregiver
- Growing bonds with other caregivers
Piaget’s Stages of Development
- 0-2 yo The child begins to interact with the environment =
- 2-6/7 yo The begins to represent the world symbolically =
- 7-11/12 yo The child learns rules such as conservation =
- 12-Adulthood The adolescent can transcend the concrete situation and think about the future =
- Sensorimotor Stage
- Preoperational Stage
- Concrete Operational Stage
- Formal Operational Stage
Erickson’s Psychosocial Stages of Development
- Birth to 18 months =
- Early Childhood (2-3y) =
- Preschool (3-5y) =
- School Age (6-11y) =
- Adolescence (12-18y) =
- Young Adulthood (19-40y) =
- Middle Adulthood (40-65y) =
- Maturity (65-death) =
- Trust vs. Mistrust
- Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt
- Initiative vs. Guild
- Industry vs. Inferiority
- Identity vs. Role Confusion
- Intimicy vs. Isolation
- Generativity vs. Stagnation
- Ego Integrity vs. Despair
Attachment Type
- Caregiver reacts quickly and positively to child’s needs, responsive to child’s needs
- Responds to child inconsistently
- Abusive or neglectful, responds in frightening, or frightened ways
- Unresponsive, uncaring, dismissive
- Secure
- Insecure ambivalent
- Insecure disorganized
- Insecure avoidant
**MOST IMPORTANT**
=
Caregivers suspicion that child is not seeing, hearing, moving limbs, or taking notice like other children of the same age is to be taken very seriously and investigate appropriately
Listen to caregivers/parents/guardians
