Piaget: Toddler =

Sensorimotor (Birth - 2 Years)

World is a series of objects (Ball, Car)

Experimentation + Cause & Effect (Doorknobs, Lockerdoors, Objects In/Out of Containers)

Toddlers enjoy repetitive toys, they can’t transfer knowledge to new situations, they must reinvestigate and explore the same objects over and over again.

Mental Combinations during Toddlerhood (18-24 Months)

If you’re a 8 month old to 1 year old infant, your sense of object permanence is-

ACHIEVED, but still developing, you’ll look for an object where it was last seen and not in a new place

This is when you begin to realize that an object exists even when unseen

How are Neurological Development and Cognitive Development different?

Toddlerhood Cognitive Development Changes =

Piaget Preoperational Stage (2-7 Years)

Toddlers (1-3 Years) start to recognize that objects have unique aspects, like size (big or small?) or color (red or blue?). This gets to be more developed during preschool

Symbolic thought & play.
Bowl = Imitate Eating
Bowl Upside Down = Helmet/ Hat

Animism Starts = Tate feelings to objects (Not fully developed until preschool age)
Needle = Hurt
Blanket = Comfort

Egocentrism (Can’t see other’s viewpoints + Can’t understand another’s feelings + Everything relates to themselves)

How well did you know this?

Not at all

Perfectly

It’s because of a toddler’s egocentrism, that it’s important to-

Tell them not to do thing’s in a specific way.
Don’t state reasons why something is wrong. “Don’t spit at Jimmy, that’s wrong!” “Don’t hit others, that’s not nice!”

A more effective way to tell a toddler not to do something is just by saying “Don’t spit at Jimmy”
Use I statements like “I don’t want you to hit others” “I don’t want you to spit at Jimmy”

What is the gap in terms of how many words a 1 year old toddler knows, versus what words a two year old toddler knows, compared to how many a kid who just reached the end of toddlerhood should know?

A 2 year old toddler can generally understand around 50 - 300 words. Can speak in 2-3 Word Sentences.

What is behavior that is negative of that suggested by others called?

Here’s a better way of understanding this imo.
During the Erikson’s stages of development, there is always a positive versus negative. For example, during the Autonomy vs Guilt stage of development, the child should have autonomy and not feel guilty. If they do feel guilty, then this is an example of-

Negativism

If you are in the autonomy vs. shame & doubt stage of development, a healthy thing to happen would be that you start separating from your parents more often and start experiencing separation anxiety.

Shaming a toddler for wanting to rebel = No Bueno

According to Freud’s theory, what stage are you in as a Toddler?

Anal Stage (1-3 Years Old)

Tell me about Freud’s Anal Stage of development:

The Focus = Anal Sphincter Control
Toilet Training is the key to this stage
Child becomes frustrated or satisfied in withholding / expelling stool

Tell me about a Toddler’s Moral Development (Kholberg’s Theory):

Punishment + Obedience Orientation Stage Begins

Children can only see things from their POV
Reward good behavior/ punish bad behavior

Self-Concept + Body Image Changes During Toddlerhood =

See themselves different from parents progressively
Exploration away from parents increases
Appreciate use of body parts
Gender ID is developed by 3 years old

A toddler begins to not share a toy with the kid next to them.

Does this showcase a developmental problem of some sort?

What may be causing this to happen?

No, this happens because of their egocentrism and is normal + expected at this stage of development

A toddler begins to not share a toy with the kid next to them.

How should you handle the situation?

A: Do not interfere
B: Tell them “Hey, you shouldn’t do that, it’s mean not to share with others”. If they do this, give them a reward, if they don’t then give them a punishment of some sort.
C: Tell them “I want you to share with your playmate” If they do this, give them a reward, if they don’t then give them a punishment of some sort.
D: Separate the two, as they are not getting along with each other

C: This is successful because you can use “I” statements when you want to tell a toddler to do something. They’re able to follow simple directions easily. Plus you’re reinforcing good behavior with the reward / punishment.

B: This isn’t successful because toddlers can’t understand the viewpoints of others or morality yet.
A: This does not do anything to promote good behavior.
D: This keeps the toddler from being around a playmate, which is important during this stage of development, they should only be separated if absolutely necessary. It also doesn’t do anything to promote good behavior.

What are some age-appropriate activities for a toddler?

Parallel Play = Play alongside; not with others
