Theories Freud’s Stages of Development oOral (birth to 1 year) Sucking, biting, chewing oAnal (1 to 3 years) Potty training, holding sphincter oPhallic (3 to 6 years) Obsessed with genitals oLatency (6 to 12 years) Not developing anything new oGenital (12 + years) Puberty, maturation of reproductive system Piaget’s Cognitive oSensorimotor (birth to 24 months) Progresses from reflex activity to imitative behavior oPreoperational (2 to 7 years)
Egocentrism: unable to put oneself in place of another.
Focused on self.oConcrete Operational (7 to 11 years) Increasingly logical thought, inductive reasoning oFormal Operational (11 to 15 years) Adaptability, flexibility, abstract thought Erikson’s Psychosocial oTrust vs Mistrust (birth to 1 year) Trust that basic needs such as nourishment and affection will be met oAutonomy vs Shame/Doubt (1 to 3 years) Develop a sense of independence in many tasks oInitiative vs Guilt (3 to 6 years) Take initiative on some activities – may develop guilt when unsuccessful or boundaries are overstepped oIndustry vs Inferiority (6 to 12 years) Develop self-confidence in abilities when competent or sense of inferiority when not met oIdentity vs Role Confusion (12 to 20) Experiment with and develop identity and roles. Obsessed with body/image Developmental milestones of infants – newborn to 1 year (physical and also cognitive) Very rapid in first year of life, especially initial 6 months
Infants grow 5 to 7 oz weekly until about 5-6 months old, birth weight has at least doubled.Weight gain slows during second 6 months and by 1 year birth weight has tripled.Breast fed infants self-regulate energy intake Height increases by 2.5 cm (1 inch) a month during first 6 months, slows during second 6 months By 1 year length almost 50% longer than birth length Head circumference increases approx. 2 cm per month for first 3 months, then 1 cm for 4-6 months, then declines to 0.5 cm per month during second 6 months. By 1 year head size has increased almost 33%.Cranial sutures close – posterior fontanel by 6 to 8 weeks, anterior fontanel by 12 to 18 months Head Control o3 months Hold heads well beyond the plane of their bodies o4 months Can lift their heads and front portion of their chest at 90 degrees above table o4 to 6 months Well established o5 moths Ability to willfully turn from belly to back o6 months Able to roll from back to belly o7 months Can sit alone, leaning forward on hands for support o8 months Sit well wile unsupported and begin exploring their surroundings o10 months Can maneuver from prone to a sitting position Grasping o2 to 3 months Occurs as reflex and gradually becomes voluntary o5 months Able to voluntarily grasp objects o6 months Increased manipulative skill (grasp feet and pull to mouth) o7 months Transfer objects from one hand to another
o8 to 9 months Use crude pincer grasp o10 months Progress to neat pincer grasp (can pick up raisins and finger foods) o11 months Put objects into containers and like to remove them o1 year Try to build towers of 2 blocks but fail Cognitive Development oSensorimotor stage Progress from reflexive to simple repetitive to imitative activities
Separation: learn to separate themselves from other
objects
Object permanence: learn that objects still exist even when
out of view
Mental representation: the ability to recognize and use
symbols Developmental milestones of toddlers – 1 to 3 years (physical and also cognitive/moral) Proportional changes oPhysical growth slows considerably oAverage weight gain is 4-6 lbs per year oBirth weight is quadrupled by 2 ½ years old oHeight increase is 3” per year and occurs in legs rather than trunk
oGrowth chart: steady growth curve that is steplike rather than
linear (straight) Sensory changes oVisual acuity of 20/40 considered acceptable oSenses of hearing, smell, taste, and touch become increasingly well developed, coordinated with each other, and associated with other experiences Maturation of systems
oGI system: control of elimination during this time
Gross motor development: locomotion
o12-13 months: walk alone using wide stance for extra balance
o18 months try to run but fall easily
o2 years: can walk up and down stairs
o2 ½ years: can jump using both feet, stand on one foot for a
second, and can manage a few tiptoe steps
Fine motor development: manual dexterity
o12 months: can grasp a very small object
o15 months: can drop a raisin into a narrow-necked bottle.
Throwing objects and retrieving them become almost obsessive activities
o18 months: can throw a ball overhand
Psychosocial – Erikson’s oAutonomy vs Shame/Doubt Independence is paramount while they attempt to do everything for themselves Often use negativism to express independence Maintain routines to provide sense of comfort Cognitive – Piaget’s oPreoperational Concept of permanence increases Have and demonstrate memories of events that relate to them Domestic mimicry evident (playing house) Does not allow them to understand viewpoints but they do imitate Moral
oEgocentric: unable to see things from others’ perspectives, all
about themselves oPunishment and obedience orientation begins with sense of rewarded good behavior and punished for bad behavior Developmental milestones of school-aged – 6 to 12 years (physical and also cognitive/moral)
Weight: gain about 2 to 3 kg per year
Height: grow about 5 cm per year
Prepubescence: 2-year period that precedes puberty
oPuberty for girls at 10, boys at 12 Physical changes oFat distribution changes oLonger legs, lower center of gravity oIncreased muscle tissue Immature muscles so overuse injuries common in sports Maturation of systems oGI – less stomach aches oImmune system is more competent
