7. Let us understand some basic
scientific views about
CHILD DEVELOPMENT
8. •Child development that occurs from birth to
adulthood was largely ignored throughout much of
history. Children were often viewed simply as small
versions of adults and little attention was paid to the
many advances in cognitive abilities, language usage,
and physical growth.
•But it reveals now very opposite of this.
•The following are just a few of the many child
development theories that have been proposed by
theorists and researchers.
•More recent theories outline the developmental
stages of children and identify the typical ages at
which these growth milestones occur.
9. Sigmund Freud - the father of modern psychiatry
The theories proposed by Sigmund Freud
stressed the importance of childhood events and
experiences, but almost exclusively focus on
mental disorders rather that normal functioning.
According to Freud, child development is
described as a series of 'psychosexual stages.'
In "Three Essays on Sexuality" (1915), Freud
outlined these stages as oral, anal, phallic,
latency period, and genital. Each stage involves
the satisfaction of a libidinal desire and can
later play a role in adult personality.
For more reference- Freud’s stages of
psychosexual development.
10. Erik Erikson
Theorist Erik Erikson also proposed a stage
theory of development, but his theory
encompassed development throughout the
human lifespan.
Erikson believed that each stage of
development is focused on overcoming a
conflict. Success or failure in dealing with
conflicts can impact overall functioning.
For more reference- Erikson’s stages of
psychosocial development.
11. Cognitive Child Development Theories
Theorist Jean Piaget suggested that
children think differently than adults
and proposed a stage theory of
cognitive development. He was the
first to note that children play an
active role in gaining knowledge of the
world.
For more reference on Piaget’s stages
of cognitive development.
12. Behavioral Child Development Theories
Behavioral theories of child development focus
on how environmental interaction influences
behavior and are based upon the theories of
theorists such as Watson, Pavlov, and Skinner.
These theories deal only with observable
behaviors. Development is considered a reaction
to rewards, punishments, stimuli, and
reinforcement.
For more reference about these behavioral
theories on classical conditioning and operant
conditioning.
13. Social Child Development Theories
There is a great deal of research on the
social development of children. John
Bowbly proposed one of the earliest
theories of social development. Bowlby
believed that early relationships with
caregivers play a major role in child
development and continue to influence
social relationships throughout life.
For more reference attachment theory.
15. Nature and Nurture
• Both the factors
plays key role in
development of
child.
– Inherited factors
&
– Parental or
Environmental
factors
16. As an Example of rubber…
The amount of stretch
shown by rubber band actually will depend
upon both
1. its capacity of stretchability
(child’s own inborn capacities) and
2. the amount of pressure or pull exerted
by environment (the parents).
17. …Its now clear that…
Its probably the TOUGHEST job to be good parents
18. Not only your care
Not only his capacities
But both together only will create the infinite possibilities
to GROW LIKE ANYTHING…!
19. He, who blessed us for
parenthood,
Also
Provide us…
THE PATIENCE
THE FORCE
THE CARE
THE LOVE
…to create the most
caring & loving
nurturing.
