    Study Notes

    Psychological Child Development Theories

    • Sigmund Freud's Psychosexual Stages focus on the impact of childhood experiences on personality development.
    • Erik Erikson's Psychosocial Development highlights the social influence on individual growth through specific life crises.
    • Jean Piaget's Cognitive Development explains the evolution of children's thinking processes.

    Freud's Psychosexual Stages

    • Oral Stage (Birth to 1 Year):

      • Focus on mouth as primary source of interaction.
      • Child learns from environment using oral exploration.
      • Limited language comprehension; relies on feeding and sensory experiences.

    • Anal Stage (1 to 3 Years):

      • Focus on bowel and bladder control.
      • Toilet training encourages autonomy and control over bodily functions.

    • Phallic Stage (3 to 6 Years):

      • Focus on genitals; development of sexual identity.
      • Emergence of Oedipus complex; attachment to opposite-sex parent and rivalry with same-sex parent.
      • Enhanced curiosity and role-playing; learning social etiquette.

    • Latency Stage (6 to Puberty):

      • Sexual interests are dormant.
      • Emphasis on developing social skills, self-confidence, and academic interests.

    • Genital Stage (Puberty to Death):

      • Maturing sexual interests, focusing on romantic relationships.
      • Development of mature sexual relationships and moral understanding.

    Piaget's Stages of Cognitive Development

    • Sensorimotor Stage (Birth to 2 Years):

      • Knowledge gained through sensory experiences and physical interactions.
      • Development of stranger anxiety as social awareness grows.

    • Preoperational Stage (2 to 7 Years):

      • Characterized by a language explosion; symbolic thinking begins.
      • Cognitive egocentrism; difficulty in seeing from others’ perspectives.

    • Concrete Operational Stage (7 to 11 Years):

      • Logical thinking develops concerning tangible concepts.
      • Ability to perform mathematical operations and understand analogies.

    • Formal Operational Stage (12 Years and Up):

      • Development of abstract thought processes; ability to perform deductive and inductive reasoning.
      • Enhanced hypothesis generation and testing skills.

    Child Behavior in Dental Environment

    • Classification of Behavior:

      • Child’s temperament significantly influences behavior in dental settings.
      • Frank's Classification ranges from definitely positive (F4) to definitely negative (F1).

    • Child Temperaments:

      • Easy Temperament: Positive mood, adaptable, enjoys dental visits.
      • Difficult Temperament: Intense, irritable; requires structured approach for comfort.
      • Slow to Warm-Up Temperament: Shy and cautious; benefits from patient and supportive dental staff.

    • Visual Analogue Scale (VAS):

      • Measures child behavior on a continuum from cooperative to uncooperative.
      • Effective with young children to gauge attitudes toward treatment.

    • Forms of Behavior:

      • Cooperative: Engaging positively, minimal apprehension.
      • Lacking Cooperative Ability: May require pharmacologic management or body restraints.
      • Potentially Cooperative: High anxiety or past negative experiences may affect willingness to cooperate.

    • Factors Affecting Behavior:

      • Anxiety from unknown threats or past experiences influences child behavior in dental environments.
      • Mother's anxiety and fear can exacerbate a child's apprehension about dental procedures.
