Growth from Birth to Age 5 PSY 121 Chapters 5 - 10 Part 2
Baumrind’s Theory of Parenting • Authoritarian parenting • “Law and Order” • “Because I said so! “ • Demand obedience • often maintain distance from child
Baumrind’s parenting • Permissive Parenting • Few demandsyet nurturing and accepting • Tend to communicatewell with children
Baumrind’s parenting • Authoritative Parenting • Negotiation and participation • Limits set and rationally explained • often democratic • mutual respect
Other models of parenting • Traditionalespecially related to gender roles • Permissive forms • rejecting/neglecting • democratic/indulgent
SPIDER ROCK • What role does this landmark play in discipline procedures? • What dangersare inherent in this practice?
Complexities of Parenting • Child’s temperament • Size of the family • Child’s age and gender • Parents age • Marital relationship
Discipline • What method is best? • For infants? • For toddlers? • For preschoolers? • Name some pro’s and con’s of physical (corporal) punishment
Cognitive Development Piaget • children actively seek to comprehend their world • infants do think contrary to the “no talk; no thought” ideas
Cognition • Active intelligence functions through senses and motor skills • Toddler is the “little scientist” • Piaget sees development in stages
Piaget’s first stage Sensorimotor thinking • substages 1 & 2 relate to reflexes • substages 3 & 4 relate to objects and people; responding to people • substages 5 & 6 relate to action and ideas
Piaget’s second stage Preoperational thinking • acquisition of information and basic skills to manipulate information and perform operations
Piaget: Key Concepts • Object permanence • understanding that objects and people continue to exist even though they cannot be seen • marks transition to preoperational thinking
object permanence is acquired gradually • active searching requires motivation and memory and motor ability
Centration Reversibility Egocentrism Conservation Animism Piaget: Key Concepts for pre-operational thinking
Rethinking Piaget • Is the timetable too rigid? • Are the stages too sequential? • Actual development seems to occur much less evenly • Perhaps Piaget was not wrong, just not complete • Reality includes more diversity
Vygotsky • Social activityrather than individual discovery • Cultural goals rather than maturational milestones • Guided assistance enables a child to independently accomplish the tasks
Vygotsky • Difference between actual and potential development is represented by the ZPD or Zone of Proximal Development • social context determines how and when a person moves through his/her ZPD
Vygotsky • Since every culture values certain cognitive skills more than others, it is not surprising that cultural variations exist. • There is also a family context
Language Development • Cognitive development supportsand is aided by language development
Language Development • Competency develops first in language function ( uses of language) then on structure(sequence of words in sentence, grammar rules, etc.)
Chomsky • All children have an innate predisposition to learn language. This is known as a Language Acquisition Device or LAD
Related terms • Over-extension • over-generalization of a set of words to inappropriate objects • Over-regularization • over-application of rules; same rules; all situations
Vocabulary Development • Predictable sequence • first nouns • then verbs • then adjectives and adverbs • then conjunctions, pronouns, etc.
Related concepts • Private speech =Vygotsky’s idea that children review what they know and regulate their actions accordingly • Through social use of language children incorporate potential learning into actual development
Ponder these • What can be done to stimulate a child’s language development? • What is the difference between speech and language? • What cues tell you that a child’s speech and language may not be developing normally? • Special ability issues?
