    About this ebook

    Child development theories are all about how children grow
    and change during the course of childhood. Child development
    theories focus on different aspects of development of a child
    including emotional, social and cognitive growth. Child faces
    conflicts during each stage which plays an important role in the
    course of development. Subsequently and successfully each stage
    helps to grow a healthy adult personality. Consider if a child
    fails to resolve the conflicts of a particular age it may have an
    influence on adult behaviour. Children were viewed simply a
    small versions of adult where little attention was paid to many
    advances in their intellectual abilities and physical growth. A
    theory of development deals with three things. First, it should
    explain changes among different aspects of development.
    Second, it should explain changes over time within individual or
    several areas of child development. Third, it should explain
    these changes. No one theory has proved enough to explain
    learning or development. There are number of theories which
    play a major role in child development. This kind of theories
    can be useful to consider. Many parents take help of these
    theories to understand about the child development. By
    understanding each theoretical approach, different parts of the
    theory can be used and it is also an useful way to further
    your understanding. These kinds of development theories may
    help you to interpret your observation. Different development
    theories are associated with different specialist people. For
    example, psychological and emotional developments are
    connected with Erik Erikson, Mary Ainswoth and john Bowlby.
    Cognitive development is associated with theorist Piaget,
    Vygootsky and Skinner. They developed theories based on
    cognitive development and a variety of approaches of teaching
    have since grown from that work and the work of other
    theorist. Other approach concerned with cognitive development
    includes 'behaviourism' 'information processing' and
    'constructivism'. After that by understanding language theory
    can build a foundation for your own thoughts and beliefs on
    how you think children develop their communication skills and
    language. The theorist who discussed here are those Lev
    Vygotsky, BF Skinner, John Watson, Albert Bandura and Noam
    Chomsky. There are number of theorists who are clearly linked
    with social development. In addition to Erik Erikson, John
    Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth whose ideas where discussed
    under 'emotional and psychological development'. The American
    theorist and researcher arnoid Gesell was an early proponent of
    maturation theory. He found the nature's role in children's
    development. There is also a long running debate which is
    about whether our biological heritage. This was just a brief
    introduction to the child development theories. Want to know
    more about it? You have got to read out the entire book then.
