Subject: Chapter 2 - 1/31/07 Discussion

Chapter 2 gave many examples of different types of developmental stages that children go through. First it exaimned the work of Freud and Erikson through the Psychoanalytic theory and then observed Piaget's cognitive developmental theory. I found the psychoanalytic theories interesting, but more interesting to me as far as children in the classroom go was the cognitive developmental theory of Piaget. I like how Piaget set out standards as to where children should be at a certain age, but I feel that if parents or teachers take these stages too literally then children could feel interior. If children do not live up to these standards or do not meet these stages at a certain age, it is not necessarily mean something is wrong with them and parents should not take these stages too literally. I feel that Piaget set up these stages in order to set a standard as to where children should be at a certain age, but they should not be the only thing that values a child's age level maturity.
