Explain Early Stages Of Child Development

The early stages of a child's development is a vital part to how they will interact and function in society as they get older. Children are a collection of all their interactions with people of their environment, such a family and peers. Especially if culture or religion are strongly practiced, these beliefs are suggested if not forced onto the child for them to believe and act the same way. The kids are modeled different behaviors and encounters where they base their own behaviors off of what they see. A child who does not often play nor engage with other children will have a harder time interacting when they are older, same outcome if they are constantly denied attention from their main supporters. It will be much more difficult for these
A child doesn't just speak full sentences right after birth. Months and sometimes years pass before they are able to communicate this well. They start off babbling, making sounds, and work their way up to putting the sounds into words, then making two word sentences. Another example is when they begin being physical, like riding a bike. It is quite common in early childhood for kids to have riding toys. Even if they just sit on them or climb on them at first. Then they begin to sit correctly, sometimes trying to walk the toy. Different sizes of riding structures are brought out as the child ages and as they are able to get the concepts of sitting properly, of holding on to the handlebars, and to push or pedal. Eventually they will get on a bicycle, most start off with training wheels and work their way to just the two necessary wheels. This experience involves the child to continuously develop their skills in order for them to achieve the desired end result. Briana’s Theory of Development describes each stage of a child's life being enriched as they continuously develop their skills they acquire and start with after birth. These beginning skills act as a gradual process to transition their biological, cognitive and socioemotional processes to those that conform to their surroundings and current
Their views, actions, thoughts, and behavior are influenced by what they have seen. Banduras cognitive theory defends my stance, because like ‘nature versus nurture’ children are not born knowing how to act. They are modeled behaviors in which they learn from. Bronfrenbrenners ecological theory almost seems like an extension of Banduars. The environmental settings in which the child is placed will affect their development. (1986, 2000; broncenbrenner & mortis. 2006). This theory states that family, then friends, and school are what first affects the child. Piagets theory explains how children figure out and adapt to the surrounding environment. This process explains the knowledge of environmental factors that as one grows from infancy, skills are also expanded that help the child fit into their surroundings. I agree with this in the fact that since a child is a formation of its environment, it needs to learn the environment to be able to adapt. Although I agree with Freud and Erikson, what happens early in life does influence several aspects on how a child develops, I disagree with Freud on his focus of psychosexual development. I believe it's a matter of curiosity and interest in body functioning rather than impulses starting at birth. This is excluding the oral stage, as to where the ‘pleasure’ is do to a natural reflex until a certain period where the child begins classical conditioning
