Task 1 Question 1
Point 1:
It is not only parenting styles that can impact on a child’s behaviour, other factors such changes in a child’s life can also affect behaviour
Task 1 Question 2
Evidence for point 1:
• Colloby et al. (2012, ch 2) With the focal family in the son Thomas’s behaviour since being diagnosed with having a hearing impairment has had a significant effect on the family.
• Colloby et al. (2012, ch 2) Thomas was introduced to a speech and language therapist.
Task 1 Question 1
Point 2:
Early learning stages of a child’s life can create an impact on children’s behaviour
Task 1 Question 2
Evidence for point 2:
• Colloby et al. (2012, p.42) states Swiss biologist and psychologist Jean Piaget (1896-1980) “is renowned for his four-stage model of child development that linked children’s behaviour to different stages of development”
• Colloby et al. (2012, p.42) shows a table of Piaget 's first two stages of cognitive development and how these relate to key characteristics of children’s play
• Colloby et al. (2012, p.43) Russian psychologist, Vygotsky (1896-1934) argued that “Piaget had underestimated the role of language and social interaction in cognitive development and that children learn best in a social context with a ‘more knowledgeable other’ – someone who can support and encourage them in their learning”
• Colloby et al. (2012, p.43) states “Vygotsky believed that learning occurs when a child is supported by another person to do what they could not do alone. He called this the ‘zone of proximal development’”.
• Colloby et al. (2012, p.44) states “Feund (1990) conducted a study where young children were involved in placing furniture in a doll’s house. She concluded that playing alongside a ‘more knowledgeable other’ helped the child to achieve the next step in their own
