Study Notes
Infancy (0-3 Years)
-
Psychologists see birth as a traumatic experience due to the dramatic change from a protected environment in the womb to the outside world.
-
Infants experience postnatal dependence, needing to be fed, cleaned, and cuddled initially.
-
Physiological development is still occurring, leading to a dissociation between the 'me' and the environment.
-
Development of 'mind' from 'matter' is significant.
-
Weaning is the most painful experience for an infant as they are accustomed to symbiosis with their mother.
-
Weaning often results in frustrations such as thumb sucking, bed wetting, and a demanding attitude.
-
Timing is critical; weaning too early or late can cause serious psychological issues.
-
Development of walking is a multifaceted process.
-
Initial stages 0-4 months: infants primarily lie down, mastering neck and head movements.
-
4 months: infants can sometimes sit with help.
-
7 months: sitting independently.
-
9 months: standing with assistance using objects.
-
11 months: first steps with support.
-
13 months: ascending stairs using all fours.
-
14 months: standing independently.
-
15 months: walking without support.
-
Walking represents a significant transition from static to dynamic balance. This difference from weaning is a desired development.
-
Walking enhances exploration of the environment, allowing the child to discover their physical limits and develop a sense of self.
-
This leads to development of notions of cause and effect, space and time, and the child's awareness of themselves as distinct from objects and others.
-
Language development in infants can be characterized as a progression.
-
Initial expressions are cries, reflexive actions that aren't consciously produced due to a lack of physical awareness.
-
Onomatopoeias and babbling become increasingly intentional forms of communication.
-
Imitating sounds leads to organized language and communication with the environment.
-
The child's first words mark a significant milestone for the family.
-
Language has two values: representation (labeling things) and expression (shaping relationships).
-
The development of language is key to separating the child from the environment and differentiating "me" from "others".
Conclusion
- Recognition of "me/self" from "others" has a notable impact on the child's emotional development.
- Personal tendencies (e.g., greediness) and interpersonal or social tendencies (e.g. imitation of adults) emerge.
- Significant struggle between egocentrism and social awareness or sociocentrism characterizes this stage.
- The educator plays a vital role in facilitating the child's adaptation and integration into society.
Child Development Stages
- Child development stages include newborn (0–3 months), infant (3–12 months), toddler (1–3 years), preschool age (3–4 years), and school age (4–5 years).
