Biosocial Development
-
Early Childhood (2-6 years)

- Corpus Callosum Development connects brain hemispheres, improving coordination and complex thinking
- Injury Control & Prevention is crucial as children explore their environment
- Toilet Training marks growing independence and self-care
- Parenting Styles (authoritative, authoritarian, permissive) influence children's physical and emotional growth
-
Middle Childhood (7-11 years)
- Childhood Obesity can be a concern as diet and activity patterns stabilize

-
Adolescence (12-18 years)
- Secondary Sex Characteristics like voice deepening, breast development, and body hair appear
- Menarche & Spermarche mark reproductive maturation
- Risk-Taking Behaviors are common due to a developing prefrontal cortex
- Eating Disorders may arise due to body image issues
Cognitive Development
-
Early Childhood (2-6 years)
- Symbolic Thought emerges as children use symbols in pretend play
- Egocentrism is a hallmark of Piaget's preoperational stage, where children have difficulty understanding different perspectives
- Fast Mapping allows for rapid vocabulary learning
- Theory of Mind develops, allowing children to understand that others have their own thoughts and feelings
-
Middle Childhood (7-11 years)
- Concrete Operational Thought is characterized by logical thinking limited to tangible objects (Piaget's concrete operational stage)
- Working Memory Expansion improves academic performance
- Social Comparison influences self-esteem and motivation
- Bilingualism & ELL Programs refine language skills and facilitate second language learning
-
Adolescence (12-18 years)
- Formal Operational Thought allows for abstract and hypothetical thinking (Piaget's formal operational stage)

- Imaginary Audience & Personal Fable are common adolescent beliefs, where teens feel constantly observed and believe they are unique and invulnerable
