It also shares ways parents can impact children's developing gender stereotype knowledge and identity (an example of the sociocultural explanation for gender development).]]> 2020-02-04 22:00:09 UTC https://padlet.com/accaliak/l9iip3gx6x4d/wish/440623795 accaliak https://padlet.com/accaliak/l9iip3gx6x4d/wish/441708938 During the film Grease, teenagers Sandy & Danny both explore new identities, in line with Erikson's ideas. Sandy looks beyond the "goody-two-shoes" identity she's had up until moving to the U.S. Danny tries to expand his "bad boy/goof-off" persona. And this is where they are at the end of the movie!]]> 2020-02-06 17:36:21 UTC https://padlet.com/accaliak/l9iip3gx6x4d/wish/441708938 accaliak https://padlet.com/accaliak/l9iip3gx6x4d/wish/441857973 My brother-in-law is a perfect example of this experience reported by some middle-aged adults. He is currently helping to care for both of his parents (each with varying degrees of dementia). Both of his daughters also still live at home - one is a freshman in college, the other a junior in HS. He has care-giving responsibilities on both "sides."]]> 2020-02-06 21:08:57 UTC https://padlet.com/accaliak/l9iip3gx6x4d/wish/441857973 accaliak https://padlet.com/accaliak/l9iip3gx6x4d/wish/442289755 My dog shows object permanence by finding a ball that was hidden under a couch pillow!]]> 2020-02-07 17:39:40 UTC https://padlet.com/accaliak/l9iip3gx6x4d/wish/442289755 https://padlet.com/accaliak/l9iip3gx6x4d/wish/442786363 This is Catie, it won't let me change if from Anonymous. My example is about myself, and what my mom told me about when I was a baby. I started walking at 7 months old which is very young, the book states that most babies learn to walk around their first birthday or after. I also skipped a developmental step in that I never crawled (which really ticked my mom off because she said that was a cute stage). The book says that babies first learn to roll over, then sit up, then crawl, then pull themselves up, then walk. I think it's just kind of weird that I skipped a developmental stage. ]]> 2020-02-09 23:31:46 UTC https://padlet.com/accaliak/l9iip3gx6x4d/wish/442786363 https://padlet.com/accaliak/l9iip3gx6x4d/wish/446184749 this experiment done by Yale the babies were to choose which puppet was "naught" and which puppet was "nice", the experiment was repeated 14-16 times, after the choice was done based on watch the good puppet help another get up the hill, 80% of the kids chose the helpful puppet over the other one, in other words the development of good and bad starts at a very young age from what i understood.

In the modules, it was mentioned that most adolescents end up with different friends in eighth grade than they had in seventh grade. This happened to me exactly. I had a different group of friends in seventh, eighth, and ninth grade, and a different "identity" or "image" each year as well. Now, I'm just confused, and I find it quite funny. While I am more emotionally stable and secure compared to just a year ago, it still feels like a roller-coaster. It is all just part of the developmental process, I suppose!]]> 2020-02-17 03:03:44 UTC https://padlet.com/accaliak/l9iip3gx6x4d/wish/446212022
