A CASE OF STUDY


TO PROVE THOSE TEORIES I WILL EXPLAIN A VIDEO WHERE ARE REPRESENTED THE TRHEE STAGES OF THE CHILDHOOD.








TODDLER

The first girl that appears in this video is Ashley Paola and she has 3 years old, she represents the Toddler stage. The toddler years are a time of great cognitive, emotional and social development.


Language skill

As you can see in the video Ashley Paola was able to say her name, and say how many year she has, it was possible because at this age they have the ability to recognize themselves; however, they can not process abstract information, due to the fact that their brain is not well developed.


Cognitive development

Ashley was not able to jump ropes because at that age (3 years old) children can not control their body movement because their Gross motor is not well developed. According to Piaget 1 to 3 years of age, children can not yet perform complex operations, like: to control their muscles, coordinate or balance their bodies following instructions.

Furthermore, as you can see, she was able to use scissors, also she could cut a circle, following instructions or helped by an adult, it happen because they can control some movement with their fingers


Psychosocial development

Ashley was able to interact with the other girl, even when they do not have the same age, it happen because they feel the necessity to interact with other in rode to do an activity, so they show interest in being taken into account when others children are playing.

Moreover, I notice that she was trying to imitate the behavior of the other girls because when they jumped she did it, too. Also she looks very enthusiastic about company of other children.


Physical development

She was able to kicks a ball, due to the fact that she can coordinate or control easy movement of her body, mainly enjoy activities that involve the development, and coordination skills domain in simple movements, due to the fact that they want to experiment new experiences, it does not matter if they fall down or make a mistake, they want to improve their habilities.



EARLY CHILDHOOD

The next girl who is wearing light blue blouse is Emily, she is 5 years old, she represent Early Childhood stage in this video, at that stage the Developmental Interaction Approach is based on the theories of Jean Piaget, Erik Erikson, John Dewey, and Lucy Sprague Mitchell. The approach aims to involve children in acquiring competence via learning through discovery.

To begin with, I will write something about this stage, and how children behave, and activities that they are able to do. By this case what Emily was able to do?
There are developmental domains of childhood development- -Physical -Psychosocial - -Cognitive Skills.


Physical development:

Emily was able to jump ropes because at that age she can coordinate her body movement in a proper way to the game, and also she told me that she has been practicing since she was 4 years old because is one of her favorite games.

Moreover, she is able to kick a ball, and run a little faster. According to the table of development skills, pag 19, Children can coordinate all the movements of their body, due to the fact that the gross area is well developed.

Something that catch my attention of Emily was that she was wearing a bracelet and a necklace, and while I was reading I discovered that at that age they can choose appropriate clothing according to the temperature and occasion, most of the time, and also shown interest in using things that adults use, such as necklaces, bracelets and sometimes makeup, due to the fact that they try to imitate their mom when she is putting make up.


Psychosocial development:

As you can see Emily is able to interact with the other girls, this is because at that age, they consider to talk with other something important because they want to take in to account in games, and also they accept to play in the way of others child.


Cognitive Skills:

As you can see Emily is able to write her name, use scissors correctly, and also recognize the days of the week, this is because children at that age, they are aware when they are doing an activity, so they are more persistent, and enjoy participating in solve problems.



  MIDDLE CHILDHOOD


Genesis who has 9 years old, and is wearing white represents the case of Middle Childhood in this video. In this stage children are conscious about what is going on around them, and also, is a time when children develop skills for building healthy social relationships and learn roles that will lay ground work for a lifetime.


Physical development:

Genesis was able to jump ropes, kicks a ball, this is because she show more coordination with her body, at that age they can do the same activities or sports, but they enjoy more, and try to look for strategies that help them to win, also they are interesting in to learn new skills. At this age, physical development during middle childhood is less dramatic than in early childhood. Growth is slow and steady until the onset of puberty, when individuals begin to develop at a much quicker pace. However, they are able to do different kind of activities by themselves.


Psychosocial development:

As I noticed Genesis enjoy playing with others, and also she understands rules easily, she can follow it, too. According to the article at that age children are creative they own identity because they can recognize what is going on in the society, they are able to find a possible solution to some problems for example en the family.


Cognitive Skills:


I noticed that Genesis proposed ideas to the others girls to they could cut the circle, she was giving to them instructions, this is because in this stage they are able to think in the logical way, and propose to others, how to solve a problem.
