Using your knowledge of young children\u2019s characteristics and needs, develop an analysis of the vignette. Use at least 3 references for your analysis, and cite them following the text, in paragraph form (APA style), where applicable. Include a full APA list of the references after the table. Also complete the \u201ccheck your work\u201d table at the end, as a way to self-evaluate your own work.<\/p>\n
Vignette # 3: Preschooler <\/p>\n
Domain Characteristics of the child\u2019s… (1a) Possible influences<\/p>\n
that impact this area<\/p>\n
of development (1b) Ideas to support and<\/p>\n
enhance a healthy,<\/p>\n
respectful, supportive and<\/p>\n
challenging learning<\/p>\n
environment for this child<\/p>\n
(1c) Developmental theories<\/p>\n
that support why you<\/p>\n
chose the ideas for the<\/p>\n
learning environment<\/p>\n
Physical<\/p>\n
development Not much is seen of Justin\u2019s physical development in this vignette, so it is hard to get an accurate picture of where he stands developmentally. <\/p>\n
He is not shown performing any large motor skills, calling to the teacher to get her attention, rather than running to retrieve her. <\/p>\n
He has little trouble manipulating the three dimensional puzzle that he is working with, only tipping it over once before using both hands, and he gets the piece into the correct opening with no difficulty, so his small motor development seems to be progressing normally. Influences on physical development include genetics and gender. They gain body awareness and develop new gross and fine motor skills. Physical development can be promoted in a variety of ways. Knowing what Justin likes to do and providing him with space to run, jump, and climb is one of the best and easiest ways to promote his large motor development. Providing him with appealing toys, such as large balls that he can kick and throw, or riding toys would also help encourage his large motor development. Small motor skills can be promoted by allowing Justin to help dress himself, especially when his clothing has buttons and zippers. Providing him with simple puzzles to put together is another way to promote both his physical and cognitive development. The maturation theory can be applied in Justin\u2019s case which states \u201c\u2026that growth and development are characterized by an \u2018unfolding\u2019 or maturing of genetically preprogrammed traits and abilities\u201d in which \u201cgrowth and development are thought to proceed according to predetermined orderly and predictable patterns, but it is recognized that not all children proceed through these sequences at the same rate\u201d. Because not much is seen of Justin\u2019s physical behavior, the only assumption that can be made is that he is developing according to the sequences at his own rate, which, from what is shown, appears to be relatively normal for a three year old child.<\/p>\n
Cognitive<\/p>\n
development Justin is three, and in peak condition to learn and grow cognitively with the right stimulation. <\/p>\n
According to Piaget, our thinking processes change from birth to maturity because we are always trying to make sense of our world. The changes are radical but slow and four factors\u00a0influence\u00a0them: biological maturation, activity, social experiences, and equilibration. Justin\u2019s parents should provide him with open ended materials, such as blocks, sheets, and other items that he can use for pretend play. Giving him materials that he can be creative with is more stimulating than a toy that only has one use. In addition to open ended materials, things like simple puzzles would be ideal for his development, especially since he is seen playing with a puzzle, and obviously enjoying it. Providing Justin with new and challenging vocabulary will help stimulate his language development. Piaget\u2019s theory applies in Justin as he appears to be cognitively normal for his age group. He has moved into what Piaget calls the preoperational stage of cognitive development. <\/p>\n
He is seen demonstrating what Piaget calls egocentrism when he refuses to share the puzzle he is playing with. <\/p>\n
Social\/emotional<\/p>\n
development Justin seems to be rather normal in social-emotional development Family risk\u00a0factors such as maternal depression or mental illness in the family, parental substance abuse, parent incarceration, parental unemployment, family violence and poverty. Risk\u00a0factors\u00a0within the\u00a0child include fussy temperament, developmental delay and serious health issues. Justin\u2019s parents can help him develop in this domain by providing him with stable caregivers and predictable routines. <\/p>\n
They can provide him opportunities to spend time with other children allows toddlers to interact and engage in conflict over toys gives them an opportunity to develop perspective and learn skills for solving their own problems, as well as teaching them how to self-regulate their behavior. Justin is seen demonstrating the egocentric behavior expected of a toddlers. He has moved in to the next stage of Erikson\u2019s Psychosocial Development, the Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt period. Adults support autonomy when they recognize that the toddler needs to feel self-sufficient and capable. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
