Temperament
- (i.e., the way individuals respond to their external and internal environment) sets the stage for interactive dynamics of growth and development. - persist throughout the life span, through caution must be taken not to irrevocably "label" or categorize infants and children.
temperament
- An individual's CHARACTERISTIC manner of thinking, BEHAVING or REACTING to stimuli in the environment. - The EASY child - The DIFFICULT child - The SLOW TO WARM up child
Principles of growth and development
- Growth and development are CONTINUOUS ORDERLY, SEQUENTIAL PROCESSES influenced by maturational, environmental and genetic factors. - All humans follow the SAME pattern of growth and development. - The sequence of each stage is PREDICTABLE, although the time of onset, the length of the stage, and the effects of each stage vary with the INDIVIDUAL. - LEARNING can either HELP OR HINDER the maturational process, depending on what is learned. - Each developmental stage has its own CHARACTERISTICS. - Growth and development occur in CEPHALOCAUDAL DIRECTION - Growth and development also occur in a PROXIMODISTAL DIRECTION - Development proceeds from SIMPLE TO COMPLEX, or from single acts to integrated acts. - Development becomes INCREASINGLY DIFFERENTIATED - Certain stages of growth and development are MORE CRITICAL than others. - The PACE OF GROWTH and DEVELOPMENT is UNEVEN
Developmental Task
- Is a task which ARISES at or about a certain period in the life of an individual - SUCCESSFUL ACHIEVMENT of which leads to his happiness and to success with later tasks, while - FAILURE leads to UNHAPPINESS in the individual, DISAPPROVAL by society, and DIFFICULTY with later tasks.
Development
- Is an increase in the complexity of FUNCTION and SKILL progression. - It is the capacity and skill of a person to ADAPT to the environment. - BEHAVIORAL aspect of growth. - QUALITATIVE change - Ability to WALK, RUN, and THINK - Takes place during the first 20 years of life and also CONTINUES after that point.
SIGMUND FREUD'S PSYCHOSEXUAL DEVELOPMENT THEORY
- Personality develops in 5 (five) overlapping stages from birth to adulthood. - oral, anal, phallic, latency, genital - Individual must MEET the needs of each stage in order to move successfully to the NEXT developmental stage - If the personCDOES NOT achieve satisfactory progression at one stage, the personality becomes FIXATED at that stage. - libido and fixation
Maturation
- The changes are COMPARED against established norms. - Child development - DIFFERENTATION and REFINING of abilities and skills, based on an IN-BORN "timetable". Although children benefit from EXPERIENCE, they will achieve maturational milestones. - SYNONYM for development.
Family
- to provide support and safety for the child. - involved in their children's physical and psychological well-being and development. Children are socialized through family dynamics. The parents set expected behaviors and model appropriate behavior.
Growth
-refers to PHYSICAL CHANGE and INCREASE in size -the pattern of PHYSIOLOGICAL GROWTH is similar for all people. - Indicators include HEIGHT, WEIGHT, BONE SIZE, and DENTITION. - Generally, takes place DURING the FIRST 20 YEARS of life. - Can be measured QUANTITAIVE (quantitative change)

Stage Three: Initiative vs Guilt PRESCHOOLER

If this task is not successfully achieved the child will have a DECREASED SELF-CONFIDENCE and feeling of fear will result. • FANTASY and IMAGINATION allow children to further explore their environment. • Children must be given FREEDOM and opportunity to initiate MOTOR play. • Parents must ANSWER child's questions and NOT inhibit fantasy or play activity. • Conflicts often occur between the child's desire to explore and the limits placed on his/her behavior *sometimes leads to frustrations and guilt
Stage Four: Industry vs Inferiority SCHOOL-AGE
6 - 12 years • Successful attainment indicates the child's ability to CREATE. A negative response is WITHRAWAL and a sense of HOPELESNESS. • Eager to apply themselves to learning SOCIALLY productive skills and tools. • Encourage in their EFFORTS to do practical tasks or make practical things and praise and reward for the finished results. • A sense of INDUSTRY is also developed by working on projects that result in a feeling of accomplishment. • Without proper support for learning of new skills or if skills are too difficult, children develop a sense of INADEQUACY and INFERIORITY. • Adult's attitude toward work are traced to successful achievement of this task
Stage Eight: Integrity vs Despair OLD AGE
