Document Summary
Chapter 1: issues, theory, and research in child. Improve lives of children: fostering positive development requires understanding of how children feel, learn, grow, what"s developmentally appropriate at different ages. How does development occur: physical development, biological changes (changes in size, hormones, motor ability, neural pathways, etc. , cognitive development, changes in how we think, understand, and reason (knowledge accumulation, ability to problem solve, and make decisions) Social-emotional development: ways we learn to connect with others (understand emotions, interact effectively, and express/ regulate our own emotions) These all overlap with each other: example: ability to crawl/walk (physical) influences both cognitive and social- emotional growth (changes interaction with others -- if they want someone they can move to them, nature and nurture. Learning abstract concepts, such as justice or fairness: are we the same person we"ve always been or do we change and reinvent ourselves along the way, evidence for both.
