Chapter Eight is all about emotional and social development in early childhood. This stage in life usually occurs between the ages two and six. It is during this time that the child gains self- concept, emotional development, and social skills. A child’s self-concept is characteristics, physical appearance, and everyday behaviors that helps define them as a person. This contributes to the child gaining emotional competence. Emotional competence is when a child can tell how they feel and why they feel that way. As stated by Berk, “He’s happy because he’s swinging very high; He’s sad because he misses his mother” (Berk, p. 260, 2017). It is easier for a child to understand the emotions they are experiencing if they are given a reason why they
what did I learn from reading this chapter and/or what did I find most enjoyable when reading these chapters. How will I apply what I learned to my classroom today or the future? What I have learned from reading chapter 4 is that children learn through music, movement, and dance, Also, children can use their senses to experience, different things during various types of music and dance. Teaching dance develops physical coordination’s, a sense of rhythm of movements.
Education is at the forefront of most new parent’s minds, which is why there is so much pressure on choosing a good preschool. Parents want to make sure that they give their children the best possible start to education, in order to create a solid foundation for success late in life. However, in society today, expectations placed on preschoolers are becoming more demanding, a trend that could have many negative consequences on the development of children. This idea is discussed in the article The New Preschool is Crushing Kids written by Erika Christakis. Christakis interconnects the audience, speaker, and subject as well as uses appeals to logic, emotion, and credibility to craft a strong and effective argument about how preschool has started to place too many expectations on preschoolers.
During this developmental interview, I chose to conduct an observation/interview study with my one of my cousin’s child. This child is a 4 year old girl and will be identified as “child K” in relation to her first name. Her parents had no problem letting me interview her, but I had them stay in the same room as us. The purpose of this interview was to observe the child’s physical, cognitive, and socioemotional development. I observed her behavior and gave her several tests to show how well she has progressed.

When it comes to educating the minds of young children there are many positive benefits, both on a personal level and individually.

This tier of development also deals with the relationships that students from with each other. Some of the feelings that they can manifest are happiness, sadness, anger and stress. Some of these stem from how the child grew up and how he child relates to the family as well as the society (Faulkner, 2005). Another important thing is the ability of a child to empathize. Empathy is a characteristic that develops from when the child is very young and develops over their
In the contemporary times, great importance is given to the significance of early years of a child’s life. It is widely acknowledged now-a-days that the early childhood years are a predominantly receptive phase in the developmental process. This stage is responsible to lay a foundation in early days and later years for cognitive functioning, learning process, physical wellbeing, and self-regulatory capacities in both personal and social lives. In simple words, “the period from birth to age 5 is one of opportunity and vulnerability for healthy physical, emotional, social, and cognitive development” (Karoly, Kilburn & Cannon, 2005). However, it is also a fact that many children go through several stressors during their developmental years due to which their healthy development may be impaired.
Child development is a field of developmental psychology that deals with the different changes seen in a child cognitively and biologically. In medical terms, it is defined as “The processes by which a child acquires skills in the areas of social, emotional, intellectual, speech and language, as well as physical development including fine and gross motor skills.

2/9/17 I enjoyed learning about the first chapter in the Childhood voyages in Development by Spencer A. Rathus. I feel like there was a lot to learn about the early childhood development. Early childhood development goes through four different stages, infancy, early childhood, middle childhood, adolescence. Researches study child development in order to gain an understanding of the child mind. There have been many different researchers who developed theories about the how the mind works.

Chapter 8 Lines After inventing Kindergarten's solid forms (Gifts 1-6) and planes (Gift 7) , Froebel moved on to investigations of lines, which call for informal as well formal observations and analyses of concrete objects. However, Froebel's movement from concrete toward abstract thinking is bridged by the Connected Slat (Gift 8) representing elements of surface and edge in a tangible form, where the plane gives way to the line, as an object that can be seen, handled and readily understood by children. The development of lines as boundaries of planes as outlines of geometric figures continues through child play in Froebel’s Kindergarten encompassing Slat Interlacing (Gift 9), Stick Laying (Gift 10), Ring Laying (Gift 11) and Thread (Gift 12), all subjects of the embodied line.
