  • They start to become patient and  have self-control
-Imitation: When a child copies someones actions 
  • Family, TV characters, Instructors , Etc
- Beginning of friendship
  • Example: During observation hours, I observe 2 girls playing with each other, week after week. The categories of play they mostly exhibit is associative and cooperative.  These girls work together well and hardly get into any arguments but if so, they quickly dissolve and they continue playing.
- Helps peers 
  • Get a friend tissue paper, which I have viewed in observation hours
  • Gives hugs
  • Share items
- Grasp basic emotions
  • Sad, mad, happy angry
-Personality: They clearly already start to form personalities earlier, but now they start so show preference 
  • The toys they choose

Parten established these stages in 1932 and since then they have been revised.
-Unoccupied- not interested in play
-Onlooker-  viewing others play, interested
-Solitary- by themselves and plays with objects
-Parallel- plays besides other children, but each doing there own thing
-Associative- Both are working on similar task, are aware and may even strike up a conversation
-Cooperative- Play with each other to make something ]]> 2017-10-04 01:36:32 UTC https://padlet.com/maddyb530/edec220/wish/193685716 lozoya https://padlet.com/maddyb530/edec220/wish/195061333 This image depicts the fine motor skill of block building. Children carefully place blocks on top of each other, trying not to off balance them. This is also an example of associative play.]]> 2017-10-09 00:03:30 UTC https://padlet.com/maddyb530/edec220/wish/195061333 lozoya https://padlet.com/maddyb530/edec220/wish/195071781 The picture shows cooperative play because both individuals are playing with the train together and may be working on building more cabooses .]]> 2017-10-09 01:40:52 UTC https://padlet.com/maddyb530/edec220/wish/195071781 Psychosocial Theory lozoya https://padlet.com/maddyb530/edec220/wish/195072170 Brief understanding: Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development consists of 8 stages from infancy to adulthood. During each stage, the person experiences a psychosocial crisis which can either have a positive or negative outcome for personality development.

From age 3-5 years old a child goes through the 3rd stage which is initiative vs guilt. Around this age children begin to plan activities, make up games, and such with others. When given this opportunity, children develop a sense of initiative and feel secure in their ability to lead others and make decisions. However, if this is suppressed, through criticism or control, children develop a sense of guilt. They may feel like a nuisance to others and will, therefore, remain followers, lacking in self-initiative.

This theory uses caregiver as a secure base, which means that children may show distress at separation, but the child can be soothed at reunion. 

It is predicted that a child, around the age of 3, that has a secure attachment with a caregiver will  develop the following:  
  • independence
  • empathy
  • social competence

This little girl clearly picked out the outfit to her own liking. This also demonstrates imitation because she is copying a princess that she has seen.

This shows her cognitive development because by age 3 children should be able to do at least a 3-4 piece puzzle. ]]> 2017-10-24 15:20:32 UTC https://padlet.com/maddyb530/edec220/wish/200039780 lozoya https://padlet.com/maddyb530/edec220/wish/215272502 2017-12-12 03:18:18 UTC https://padlet.com/maddyb530/edec220/wish/215272502
