For this discussion, you will write about a situation (either in real life or in media somewhere) that portrays changes that occur during the first three years or a child’s life. You can focus on physical development, cognitive development, or psychosocial development. For example, you could discuss how a child perhaps didn’t meet typical growth patterns, wasn’t able to talk in the generally accepted time frame, or experienced abuse at the hands of the caregivers
In your original post, answer the following:
Briefly describe the situation (g. is this a personal example, what television show/movie is this from?)
What type of development will this post be focusing on?
How would someone studying child development expect the child to develop?
How did the child in your situation actually develop?
In your responses to your classmates, address the following:
How does your classmate’s example compare to the example you shared in your main post? What are the similarities? What are the differences?
How does your classmate’s example relate to the lecture and reading material for this week?
What questions do you have for your classmate about their example?
