Sensitive Periods Introduction Sensitive periods are a termed coined by a Dutch biologist Hugo de Vries and later adopted by Dr. Montessori to refer to the important period of development in childhood. Montessori was not very specific in her published works about the precise number‚ description‚ or timing of these sensitive periods. These periods are critical to the child’s self-development. She set out several periods with the approximate ages to which they applied. Dr. Montessori believed‚ adults

‘‘Sensitive parenting is the most important factor in a child’s psychological development.’ Discuss. The role of a parent as discussed by Oates‚ Lewis & Lamb is seen to be the primary source providing children with structure and experience. Behaviourists see the reward system laid down by parents as ‘shaping’ their children’s behaviour whilst social behaviourists see the imitation of behaviours by children as the basis of new behaviours being learned. Social constructivists see parents as

**What is NPV?** a) If the value of NPV is greater than 0‚ then the project is a go! In other words‚ it’s profitable and worth the risk. b) If the value of NPV is less than 0‚ then the project isn’t worth the risk and is a no-go. So NPV takes risk and reward into consideration‚ which is why we use it in the world of corporate finance and capital budgeting. **Example** In order for us to calculate NPV‚ let’s use the following example. Suppose we’d like to make 10% profit on a 3

The lift will allow 300 additional skiers on the slopes‚ but there are only 40 days a year when the extra capacity will be needed. (Assume that Deer park will sell all 300 lift tickets on those 40 days.) Running the new lift will cost $500 a day for the entire 200 days the lodge is open. Assume that the lift tickets at Deer Valley cost $55 a day. The new lift has an economic

the term sensitive periods and link them appropriately to the child’s first stage of development. Explain how you would support these sensitive periods during this first crucial stage.

In this essay I will attempt to discuss the concept of ‘sensitive mothering’ as being vital to the social and emotional development of a child. In doing so I will discuss various developmental theories to a child’s development and discuss the concepts of ’attachment theory’ encompassing ’internal working model’ and ’quality attachment’ of John Bowlby. I shall also discuss the eight stages contemplated in Erikson’s psychosocial development and the impact attachment has on the social and emotional

present value the net present value (NPV) or net present worth (NPW)[of a time series of cash flows‚ both incoming and outgoing‚ is defined as the sum of the present values (PVs) of the individual cash flows of the same entity. In the case when all future cash flows are incoming (such as coupons and principal of a bond) and the only outflow of cash is the purchase price‚ the NPV is simply the PV of future cash flows minus the purchase price (which is its own PV). NPV is a central tool in discounted cash
