A: It could play a factor whereas kids are aware when something is different about them. So if a child began to gain weight or become too tall, they could see that as an abnormality but instead of laughing, they feel insecure. However, I believe that society plays in major role in children having insecurities with their "normal" standards.

Q: Is physical development important for the other domains?
A: Physical development definitely affects the cognitive and social domains. For example, this is the stage where the the pre frontal cortex develops. This affect the cognitive domain because children are able to use reasoning and no longer accepting every answer as the right one.]]> 2016-03-18 05:14:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mbernadel/57ct5f71bf2f/wish/101687589 mbernadel https://padlet.com/mbernadel/57ct5f71bf2f/wish/101687603 Q: Should all children be a part of at least one sport/activity?
A: Yes because not only it will help a child be healthy and fit, but also they will attain skills that could build their social skills and cognitive processes. Additionally, it would be easier to maintain a child staying active.  On the other hand, if a child doesn't want to participate, then that child should still have free play outside to stay active.

Q: In present times, are children getting the balance needed to be healthy and fit?
A: Considering the rising rates of child obesity, children do not seem to be balanced. This could to be how many of us are dependent on fast food instead of cooking and playing video games instead of going outside for an hour. Most parents are too pre-occupied to pay attention to what their child eat and may even not eat healthy themselves. ]]> 2016-03-18 05:14:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mbernadel/57ct5f71bf2f/wish/101687603 mbernadel https://padlet.com/mbernadel/57ct5f71bf2f/wish/101687614 Q: How do you think a child achieves social learning if they are home schooled?
A: Home schooled children may have siblings they learn from or other kids at parks or a kids' place (i.e. Chuck-E-Cheese). They may be behind in social learning because of home schooling if the parents isolate them. Other than that, there are plenty of opportunities for a home schooled child to achieve social learning. 

Q: How can gender differences impact motivation?
A: A child's motivation could depend on what fit their gender role. For instance, boys are likely to gravitate towards science/math while the girls go for English/art. So a little girl who previously had a fascination for science may lose that interest due to peer pressure and no support from her parents. Though gender differences can impact motivation, it is not impossible for children to deviate from said gender roles.]]> 2016-03-18 05:15:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mbernadel/57ct5f71bf2f/wish/101687614 mbernadel https://padlet.com/mbernadel/57ct5f71bf2f/wish/101687621 Q: Are children able to use selective memory?
A: Children are probably able to use selective memory unconsciously. In the video, the person who was texting may not remember the color of the guy's shirt or the music playing because that was not where their attention was focused. So a child may have a selective attention, however, I don't believe they are capable of choosing what and what not to remember.

Q: The longer children spend in school, the better they are in meta-cognition. Should children of this age group be allowed to skip grades?
A: At their age, it would perhaps even benefit them to skip grades because they are learning at a higher level which helps their social learning. In the terms of meta-cognition, I believe it should not have an negative effect on a child since they are still going to school continuously ]]> 2016-03-18 05:15:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mbernadel/57ct5f71bf2f/wish/101687621
