One example is when she arrived to collect him form nursery, he was not pleased to see her and did not want to go home. One reason for this could be that when he was a baby a secure attachment was not developed or he lost it once his dad left. Now that he is five this secure attachment could be developing.

Functional assessment helped me to identify the key events to understand children’s behavioral problem. The analysis of the setting events, antecedents, behaviour, and consequence helped me in analyzing the possible behaviour. To help children with the behavioral issues it is important to be consistent with the rules and routines with children. When we involve children in the group activities, we can see the prosocial behaviour in children. By appreciating the child’s virtue; the child’s behaviour will be more positive, recurrent and builds self-esteem. When we observe a challenging behaviour in a child we have to be more attentive in appreciating a virtue, as it could be a great encouragement to this child. The positive guidance will help
In the field of social work, theories are used as a means of viewing development throughout the lifespan. These theories can be applied to individuals to give a more concrete understanding of certain behaviors and where they stem from. This paper will attempt to gain a better understanding of a case study by applying relevant theories to childhood development and behavior.
The transitions from middle childhood to early adolescent, brings social and emotional changes to the child development. In my observation, the most frequent emotional symptoms Dylan reported is emotional overwhelmed or exhaustion. Dylan is always feeling tired and unable to concentrate during the class activity. For example, when Dylan loses concentration, he could not sit still for too long, and he tends to walk away from the classroom. Another emotional symptoms Dylan shows to have is anxiety. I notice Dylan display constant frustration and confusion with his writing and reading development in the school. I also notice Dylan has a very is sympathetic personality with his peers and friends. He enjoys interacting socially and in academicals
Children will be asked questionnaire items employing behavioral descriptions along with the follow-up questions (Lisak & Luster, 1994; Lisak, Hopper, & Song, 1996)
At age two, the infant moves into the toddler years. Between the ages of 2 and 3, the child’s crisis move from trust/mistrust to shame versus doubt. It is during this stage that the child begins to gain greater control over their motor skills and their body in general. The child will begin to explore its environment, take ownership and possessions of items, places and things within the environment and attempt to become independent in the process. Although the child will attempt independence and exert some authority, it is
Likewise when looking at the development of a child in a higher grade, such as grade two or three at the age of seven, their cognitive, affective, social/emotional and psychomotor development have matured more in some domains than others compared to when they were at the age of five. In terms of the cognitive domain, a seven year old child still often has a short attention span and is interested in what the body can do, but is curious about the ‘why’ in
This paper is an observation of children and tying together what is observed in a minimum of eight hours in my 2310 Child Adolescence class. For my service learning hours I spent time babysitting my nephews Jayden and Eli. Jayden is four years old and Eli is two years old. This means the target group of my information I will be focusing on in my paper will be pertain to two and four years old. To obtain my full eight hours of service learning I babysat Jayden and Eli for a whole day from ten o’clock in the morning until they fell asleep, which for them was between nine thirty and ten o’clock. I spent the whole day with both of my nephews, it was raining so we had to stay inside. We did not do many activities throughout the day because it was raining so it seemed to be a good day to watch a movie or two. We watched Land Before Time after they had calmed down after their dad left and played with toys as well. In between naps and making sure their bellies were full, I was able to keep them content in the playroom area of my house. I have spent much time with my nephew, so I am able to give you a brief overview of their personalities. Jayden is a very extroverted child, not shy at all. He has a very big imagination and loves to make up little games with the oddest combination of toys. An example of this would be a contraption he made Jayden took a helicopter and Spiderman and tied Spiderman to the helicopter by a string. He played with this saying Spiderman was flying and saving
Erikson’s Phycho-Social Model: Stage 3- At the age of 2 I fit into stage 3 of Erikson’s model. This model emphasizes the role of culture and society and the conflicts that can take place. By overcoming these conflicts, a person can move on to the next stage. In this stage, from 2-6 years old, the main conflict is Initiative vs. Guilt. In this stage, the most important event is independence. During this period the primary feature involves the child regularly interacting with other children at school. Central to this stage is play, as it provides children with the opportunity to explore their interpersonal skills through initiating activities. The child continues to be assertive and
Most children are born being social beings and how they interact with others is one of the main identifications in development. Communication with the child, would not be a normal conversation with the type of responses that you would hear on a regular, instead things might be more on the animated side or imaginary side of things. Gestures and expressions make a big difference as well, since kids often have a way of using their expressions for voice their emotions that they can’t seem to put in words.
